i know that you can layer gel and parrafin, but i am new enough to soy that i don't know for sure, but think that you probably could.  i know that in layering gel/paraffin, you have to watch for bleeding colors (red is a stink pot)

You want both to be totally set up and make sure and pour your gel on the cool side. As cool as you can pour it.
