That's awesome Daisy. Glad you found me on here, then! I need to get back on there again more frequently. I've just been so busy. I wasn't sure if anyone on there would find my on youtube since I dont really talk about it on there or even mention it. Guess it wouldn't hurt though. :) Thanks for being here! I hope you subscribe! :)
I know Im asking the wrong place but does someone know of a tool to get back into an instagram account? I somehow lost the login password. I would love any help you can offer me!
@Jesse Stetson I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm in the hacking process now. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I used to laugh at the idea of my grandchildren spending endless hours watching other people play video games, now I"m doing the same thing watching people making candles on RUclips :-) I love how you make it all so accessible. Thanks for making so much content to feed my binge-watching addiction :-)
Haha. I'm with you. My oldest wanted to start a youtube channel years ago, I thought he was being a goofball. Now I realize he was right and I'm a dork too! 🤣
I am mainly subscribing because of how active and responsive you are in the comment section. I mean, my gosh! How do you find the time to read and answer pretty much every question asked? Wow! Your an awesome RUclipsr and I am willing to bet your candles are equally as awesome. I will definitely have to purchase one to support you. Many blessings. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thanks so much. I appreciate that. To answer your question..... yes, I am super busy all day every day. But, I schedule in time to engage and comment. To me, it's all part of it and important. As the channel continues to grow, it becomes harder and harder. But I will always do my best...always! Thanks so much for the support!
Dang it, Wade! When I started watching your channel I didn't even burn candles. I just enjoyed the entertainment and entertainment. A year later I just can't stop making candles! Now I'm re-watching all of your videos to brush up on all the candle-making knowledge 😎
So basically I have been binge watching your old videos while making candles. I love to see how far you have come. I am in the early stages and making test candles for my first 6 fragrances. Thanks for being a part of my world while I am grounded to my candle studio ( 2nd bedroom of my apartment). It’s currently 1 AM and I have 12 more tins to pour and then going to work on the Hogwarts house candles I have in development. Using only premier 700 wicks purchased through you. Just have to say I love how open you are even as you grow into a bigger and bigger company. Never seen anyone do what you do. Lave ya Wade, and keep on keepin on brother! PS. Would love a review of my candles when ever you can get back to that side of things. Thanks brother man! -Zach. ( also the candle joke I asked for was great! Thank you)
very professional i cant believe ive never seen your videos before.your work are is awsum.ive had problems with ht on 6006.iam feeling ready to try again after listening to you. thankyou
Hi Wade. Great video…for me, because IG6006 is what I’m predominantly using. Thanks again and I LOVE your knowledge and expertise of candle making. (Very Motivating!!)
Starting up a candle business (in process) we are using 6006 and thank you so much the ‘cure time’ for this particular wax was so confusing and I really want to get wick testing out of that way!! Thank you so much
Thank you so much, I am new to the candle world, you are one of my top five candle-making go to guys. You are doing a excellent job! Wish me luck on my candle journey!
I just adore you! I wish you would writ a book. You are a great teacher. I am in the process of starting a candle business and you are my go to for everything. I would love to share my story. With you!
I am a little jealous of your supply inventory! I am just starting out and hoping one day to have enough business to warrant having that amount of supplies on hand!
Your videos are awesome. I would love to hear your take on the importance of adding fragrance oils at the right temperature…like is there a correct temperature. Why is 185 degrees believed to be the sweet spot, and explain how/if FO binds to the wax.
Hey I love your channel and I’m learning a lot from your channel. Im having trouble getting a hot throw with 6006 in my aura vessel from wooden wick co. I’ve tried adding FO at 180-185 and 170-180 with CD and HTP wicks. So far the HTP wicks work best but still not getting the great hot throw everyone talks about.
I'd start by testing SEVERAL FOs first. not all FOs work well in all waxes. Many FOs these days have become subpar in my opinion too as they try to get competitive on price. I haven't used 6006 in aura jars myself. I prefr htp and premier 700 in 6006 as well as zinc core
Called UV Inhibitor. Just helps keep colors from fading as quickly. It'd optional. Most don't use it to be honest (especially if not dying candles). It's beat though if your candles will be in stores on shelves under uv light.
Hi there I’m new to candle making how much wax did you use for 4 candles 🕯 and fragrance how much? to use ? What size of vessel jar would you recommend for someone starting out making candles and is on a budget Great info thanks for video
Thanks. I start with something simple like a Mason jar or jelly jar. In the ones I made they were about 7 oz. So if using a 10% fragrance load it would be roughly 6oz of wax and .6o of oil for example. Then multiple that buy 4 for four candles
Hi Wade been seeing people weighing the FO separately but I believe it will be a waste of whats left from the separate container instead of directly weighing it to the wax and tare the scale. pls correct me if im wrong
You're not wrong. It's just a preference because it's more risk to add directly to wax. Like.... if you mess up and add to much, over pour, drop the bottle.. lol. It happens
Hi Wade. Thank you for your videos. I found your channel yesterday and I believe I watched them all your videos. I subscribed because I am excited and ready to see more of your videos. Your patience and your explanations are gold. Would it be possible for you to make videos about selling wholesale, private, and white labels and explaining the difference? I hope I said that correctly. Thank you!
Very informative! I’m having some issues obtaining a fragrant high throw with IGI 6006, HTP wicks, and the straight sided tumbler Libbey. Any suggestions or pointers you can maybe offer?
Thats a tough jar to wick actually. What FO are you using and from what supplier. 6006 has good HT overall but still need quality oils, so I always start with checking the FOs. You can also try double wicking that jar with two really small wicks. Lile 2 htp 52s or 62s as a starting point. I'd also try 2 premier 725s or 735s. Again, those are just my best guessed for a starting point. I don't use that jar specifically but wood wicks can work in that size as well. Either way, I would start with your oils. Try several. If you get good HT with most the others, its probably just not a great oil.
Thank you for your time and response, I greatly appreciate it. I have been having a very difficult time getting started. Here is my most recent breakdown: The flaming Candle Co.- Hawaiian Pink Hibiscus 6% FO; heated until 180*; FO added at 160*, And stirred slowly for approx. 2 minutes; Poured at 150*. I didn’t warm the vessels this time. HTP-73 mushrooming, poor HO, not full melt pool. I previously had been using all Candle Science FO. I switched from the Libbey 917CD to the straight sided tumbler.
New subscriber! I’ve been making wax melts for years but don’t really mess with candles that much. I use several different waxes myself for our wax melts.... Do you have a good wick suggestion for 6006 beginners? How about any other waxes and wicks? I’m all ears! 😇☺️
It's hard for me to choose favorites.... impossible really. I like so many! But I would day that most FOs work well in 6006. It's a forgiving wax when it comes to HT. While most says are picky on oils that work well, 6006 takes most pretty well!
Great thank you. I just did two candles with 6006 and two candle science fragrances, Can wait to test them. Thank you so much for all your info on candle making.
If could do Aztec fragrances review that would be great, cause I live in Canada and we get free shipping on fragrances. I’m sure other Canadians would love the video too. Thanks
Again, learned a lot! I expanded that end shot to look at how you list the notes. I'm wanting to do that on mine. Do you list ALL the notes and in what order are they listed? I'm looking at the CS Blue Spruce and those notes aren't the same as what you have on your label, but they did also redo their scents since this video. I'm currently waiting on an order with my first Blue Spruce and that color blue was almost what I had in mind, and I think I love it more than what I wanted lol
@@BlackTieBarn Now that I'm further "in it" I'm rewatching many videos and am better able to connect the dots lol Anyway, among other things, I bought your recommended wick trimmers (the ones in the video descriptions), but they're just not angled enough to get into the deeper candles very well (they're also 1/8" short of 1/4" but that's easily compensated). Then I saw the trimmers you show toward the end here... that angle looks like 90* and the bigger part (haven't I heard you call that a bevel???) looks thick (1/4"?), but it's not listed in the video description. Where'd you find those?!
Can you mix your own blends? I live in NZ - we don't have access to all of the waxes you mention. We have a choice of paraffin (not even sold by the candle supplies people - I buy it from a beekeeper who uses it to weatherproof his hives), soy, palm or coconut. No blends.
Absolutely you can. Blends are common. But you will want to make sure the wax you are getting is suitable or made for candle making. For example, without know the kind of paraffin wax the beekeeper is using i am not sure. I would assume it may work. But you'd need to know some important details like the melt point, max FO load, etc. You will probably need to add vybar to it as well. You could also blend the soy and coconut or any combination. Experiment and have fun. :)
I subscribed after watching this video. I have been doing research for month’s after my wife came to me with the idea that she and our 19 year old daughter had the idea to start making candles as a business. Naturally, as I am with everything, I went into research mode. I have been researching and purchasing things for them to get started. Currently I have GW464 wax. I am questioning if that was the right wax to start with. With the mail being delayed we have yet to get a first batch in. Looking to do so this weekend. Do you have any tips for working with this wax? I’ll be watching your other videos as well. Thank you for all the great information, you are the first I have left a comment to after watching many videos on RUclips.
Thanks for that great feedback Randy. Yes, I will be adding so much more. I will have a bit of a delay while we are relocating and setting back up (gonna take while). But, i will get back to videos in a week or so of some kind. To answer your question, its no secret 464 is not one of my favorite waxes. I don't like the look nor do I like the performance of the HT. Other than that... its great! 😁 No wax is perfect they all have pros and cons. I prefer 6006 over 464 for sure. Its tough to wick sometimes but much more reliable. I also like problend 600 and joy wax because they are so easy to use. But they can also be somewhat picky on FOs and good HT. I haven't found a perfect wax... but I am always looking. I will continue to post more and more on waxes I try. Also, just wanted to say that I love the idea you are doing this with your daughter. I have three boys.mm ages 14, 11, and 4. They all help where they can. My 4 year old obviously can't do anything, lol. But he likes to pretend. :)
Wade, it's now been months since the new HTP wicks have been on the market. Have you started using the new one with this candle? If so do you like how it burns? And I know you don't like to use CD wicks.. Can you speak on a situation or two where you would use a CD wick?
Hey Dan. I have used the HTP wicks a bit. It may be just my experience, but they SEEM to be slightly hotter than the previous ones. Perhaps enough that they equate to one size larger. But that is still relatively small sample size as far as testing goes. It may be worth asking what others' experiences have been as well. That being said, I still have stock of the previous HTP's which is why I haven't really needed to use the new ones much yet. But I will eventually. Lol. I dont use AS many HTP's as I used to just because I use a lot of Premier 700s as well. all depends on the wax and jar I am using. Regarding CD wicks. It's not so much that I dont like them..... I just dont like them with the wax and jars I use specifically. They workfine in waxes like 464, 444, etc. So I guess that would be the answer to the 2nd part of your question. :)
I’ve been using Htp 73’s for my 8 oz jelly jars and always have an even pool and cools super smooth. Now that HTP has changed, do you feel like they don’t burn as hot? Lately they’ve not been melting around the sides Thoughts?
I haven't used the new htps yet... I thought they were still reformulated them? I only have the originals still. But.... I have seen that happen before and the reason for me was slight changes in the wax. Because the wax can vary a bit batch to batch. So you may look at that as well. I do plan on testing with the new htps as soon as I can though
As far as I know the makers of Htp said they should be on all the suppliers shelves now and the old should be gone. I’m wondering if that’s why candlescience discontinued because they weren’t going to use the new ones. Anyways, what is your go to wick for 6006 wax? Specifically jelly jars? 9oz straight sided?
@@jennasullivan5077 Gothca. Good to hear then. I have plenty to keep my going while I test the new ones. :) Normally in my straight sides jars I use htp and premier700s but it depends on which wax I am using and what FOs.
Most are from candle science. Mostly because I've used them for so long that my recipes are all made with them and haven't had much of a reason to change. I've sampled others though and liked them too. :)
I do not. 6006 isn't exactly hard like you indicated but it's not near as soft as most parasoys. It's nelt point of about 133 where not the others are like 120 at best. So its better than others, but yes... can still be tricky in super hot weather. You can ship with gel packs though. Vybar would firm it up a tough but only raise the melt point by a degree or 2. And you don't want to add it to 6006 as 6006 already includes vybar
Hi wayde I just subscribed and love your videos and have made many notes. I just purchased the 6006 for wax melts but would like them a little firmer. I have in hand some 464 and a bit of paraffin would any of these help if so what ratio would you suggest ? Thank you
Hi Wade! Is there a standard percentage of fragrance oil you use or would recommend using in 6006? 6% -10%? Thank you so much for all the great tips and videos!
Hey Sonya... I know you already saw my answer in the group, but just in case others here want to see my answer. I use 6% - 9% generally depending on strength of the FO. 6% for really strong FOs and 9% for lighter ones. Hope this helps!
Hi there! i am making 8 oz tins, and 4 oz tins with igi6006, and using fragrance oil from Candlescience. Can you help me with what temoerature i should heat wax, what temp i should poor from my pot boiler into my pour jar, what temp to add fragrance oil, when to pour after stirring fragrance oil in, and also what wicks to use for each container?
Thank you again for another awesome video. Quick question...I have heard about preheating the jars in the oven for about 15-20 minutes but would like to ask at what temperature do you do this?
I'm a huge fan of your content. I do have a huge question. What is the alternative for htp-83 6 inch wicks? I'm currently working with IGI 6006 and an amber vessel of 3 inch h and 2.5 top w. I been looking for htp-83 but all sold out.
Hey Edgar. Fortunately, htps should be coming back fairly soon from what I hear. Thst being said, wicks are hard to really be interchangeable. But... if you have any zinc core wicks to try, they work pretty well in 6006. Also try premier 700 series. I'd get sizes 740-760 and see if any of those work. Some people use eco and cd but I'm not a fan of those in 600y
They are 7oz candles. Each candle is roughly 6.4oz wax and .6oz of oil. So for four candles, 25.6oz wax and 2.4oz oil. But, each was has a different density so these numbers will vary a bit by wax. Best bet when making candles with a new jars (or wax) is to weigh and empty jar, then fill a jar once the way you want it and weigh again. The difference is how much it holds total. Check out this video with a detail of how I create my formulas: ruclips.net/video/8b8OsGbM5YE/видео.html
Hi Wade. I'm just starting, that's to say I just made my 1st 2 candles and it's currently curing. 24 hours have definitely passed since I poured but I was waiting for another 24 hours to allow it to cure. However, you mentioned, it should be good to go once the candle is fully solid (I'm paraphrasing). So am I good to burn my candle after 24 hours?
Most people will tell you .. it depends. You can start burning to test the wick after a day or two for sure. If you want to test entire experience including HT, it may depend on your wax. All candles will get a bit better HT with more time. Paraffin and 6006 don't need much time but soy like 464 you might not smell anymore weeks. Just depends on how well the FO works with your wax.
😆 Because it's so cheap to buy 500 vs a smart qty. And they will last you years. I bought 500 once and lasted me still. I'd rather buy once for cheap than several times for more. :) And, thanks man.
You said you preheat your jars for about 20 minutes or so. Are you putting them in the oven? What temp? Do you ever use a heat gun to preheat the jars?
I usually don't actually. It was just a tip for those who ate struggling as it sometimes can help. But when I would preheat, I use the oven on lowest setting for about 10 minutes is plenty. :) Yes you can use heat gun it just takes longer. :/
@@BlackTieBarn I’ll have to try that because the heat gun just isn’t doing it for me. I really appreciate you. Like…you have NO idea! This has been a long process, but I know it’ll be worth it when I launch 🤞🏾
UV inhibitor is to day the fading of your wax from uv light. Particularly if they will be sitting on store shelves. Vybar is different. Ill be posting a video on vybar later this week. Stay tuned! :)
I've never preheated tins. They hold great so well so if you want to preheat at all... you may just use heat gun or warning plate. But if want to use oven... use the lowest help possible for just a handful of movies l minutes. It varies by container type and size and they isn't a right answer. When I've preheated jars... I've done from 150 up to 190 for anywhere from 5 minutes to 15.
Thank you for this video! I’ve been having issues with parasoy and getting a good HT. At what temp do you add the FO to the wax? And how long do you stir? I’ve been using Candle Science FO and I’ve been getting great CT but terrible HT. I have to be right up on it in order to smell the scent
Common issue for sure. What parasoy(s) are you using? Some throw much better than others. Also, not all FOs throw real well in parasyo with a percentage of it being soy which can be pickier on oils in general. I add my oils at the manufactured recommended temps for pretty much every wax. Usually that is between 170 and 185. Hopefully this helps a bit!
Black Tie Barn Candle Co. I’m using IGI 6006. I leaned more towards that wax because I’ve heard such good things about how easy it is to use and how great the HT is. But yes, I definitely agree! It’s tricky with different scents! Thank you, this helped a bunch!
@@mulbah09 I use a lot of 6006 as well. And, yes... compared to most parasyos, I find it has the best or most consistent HT. But it isn't perfect. :/ Its hard to get great HT with every scent without using a straight high quality paraffin. But, even weaker or poor quality FOs wont do well in that either. Most of the FOs from CS are good there. The fruity ones are the only ones I notice weak HT on for the most part.
Just depends on the wax, how strong the particular FO is, size of jar, and size of room. In a small room like bathroom or small bedroom... probably 10 or 15 minutes. For a larger room can be from 30 minutes to an hour
very informative video! thank you! i've been in the testing phase for months, but i can't seem to create a candle that makes me happy enough to sell. i'm using IGI6006, but i've yet to find the right wick. i'm getting a nice cold CT, but a very underwhelming HT regardless of the FO used. i am purchasing FOs and wicks from all the major suppliers, so i'm sure they're all of good quality. i think i'm doing everything right, because when i place my candle on a warming plate, the scent throw is amazing. sadly, when i light the candle, the HT is a disappointment. i'm using standard 12 oz mayo jars with 10% FO load. please tell me which wick BEST works with IGI6006. maybe i'm expecting a stronger HT than can be achieved by homemade candles?? i've purchased brands like Orleans and Tyler, and those are so VERY aromatic that they make mine seem like a dud. i'd appreciate your advice. thank you in advance.
It is hard to compare our own candles to big box companies who use proprietary blends designed for their specific application. Just do your best and you can get great results as well! I prefer mostly zinc core, htp, and premier 700 wicks with 6006. Or woodwicks if you use those in any jars.
Thank you. Honestly, not sure off the top of my head. I'll have to double check. I actually didn't think it sounded that good but you made me feel better about it now. So thank you!
Vybar is a hardener so that isn't helping adhesion. And vybar 103 is for high melt point waxes so it's even harder. Of you want better adhesion leave out the vybar. But honestly, some waxes just have good adhesion and some don't unfortunately
@@BlackTieBarn Thank you for replying. Melt to 190-200 Add fragrance 185 Pour 165-170 Pre heated jars Some sink holes, some have even cracked! Wood wick with some premier cotton wicks We want the best possible scent throw. During our testing they Vybar candles had better glass adhesion then the non Vybar. Lost for ideas. A few fragranced just no hot throw either. Some are amazing! Any suggestions?
When I pour my fragrance oil in to my wax it cools the wax down at least 14 degrees which don’t give me enough time to stir and pour timely. Is there anything I can do to help with this? I use IGI 6006. Any advice?
What temp are you pouring at? Yes, 6006 being 70% paraffin will cool quicker than all soy for example. But that can also be a positive for other reasons. My advice is to add fo around 180-185. This is enough time to add it and stir. You also don't need to stir a fully 2 minutes. That is sort of a myth that started because people were blending well enough so it became a safe rule to follow to ensure proper blending. But, honestly... if you add your fo around 180-185 and mix it well for a good 45 seconds to a minute. You are good to go. Another things some people do is warm their oils before adding. I've never done this nor needed to. But you could try it if push comes to shove. :)
Hey Wade great video like always!:) I always learn something new Everytime I watch your videos that's what I love:) I have a question is igi 6006 the main wax you use? I'm asking because I'm in the middle of thinking about switching waxes I'm not getting the Ht I really want... Would you recommend me switching to igi 6006 I really want to try it because of the Ht and smooth tops. I always love your opinion thanks:)
It is not my main wax. I use a few including 6006 though. It's a good wax if you can dial in wicking. It's tough in some jars though. Tricky wax to wick be patient.
@@BlackTieBarn love this video and eager to try 6006 instead of C3. I normally use HTP 136 in my 3in jar but you mentioned wicking down? Which HTP size would you recommend?
@@MimiBondi Hey Mimi, well the jars I am using with 6006 usually aren't 3" diameter jars. That size is VERY difficult to wick with 6006. The HTP I was mentioning wicking down was for the 2.2-2.5" jars. I typically use around an HTP83 on those depending n FO
@@BlackTieBarn Thanks for your fast reply! I was hoping you used it for larger jars too. Are you sayimg that size is difficult to wick with 6006 or, just with any wax? HTP136 in C3 is maybe a little bit large but htp126 is a little too small and double wicking isn't great...
Awesome video , I read a lot of your post on craftserver and I mean a lot lol . So happy you're on RUclips now! You have helped me so much thank you.
That's awesome Daisy. Glad you found me on here, then! I need to get back on there again more frequently. I've just been so busy.

🤣🤣 love it
So basically I have been binge watching your old videos while making candles. I love to see how far you have come. I am in the early stages and making test candles for my first 6 fragrances. Thanks for being a part of my world while I am grounded to my candle studio ( 2nd bedroom of my apartment). It’s currently 1 AM and I have 12 more tins to pour and then going to work on the Hogwarts house candles I have in development. Using only premier 700 wicks purchased through you. Just have to say I love how open you are even as you grow into a bigger and bigger company. Never seen anyone do what you do. Lave ya Wade, and keep on keepin on brother! PS. Would love a review of my candles when ever you can get back to that side of things. Thanks brother man!
-Zach. ( also the candle joke I asked for was great! Thank you)
Haha. Thanks Zach! I am pretty far behind right now but will try to bring in new review requests when I can
very professional i cant believe ive never seen your videos before.your work are is awsum.ive had problems with ht on 6006.iam feeling ready to try again after listening to you. thankyou
Thanks! Thats very nice. But don't feel bad... i haven't been posting them long. :)
Wow what a helpful video! I just recently bought a slab of 6006 and I’m definitely going to use these tips for my next batch. Thanks for sharing
❤️
Hi Wade. Great video…for me, because IG6006 is what I’m predominantly using. Thanks again and I LOVE your knowledge and expertise of candle making. (Very Motivating!!)
Thanks Edsel!
You’re an inspiration, thank you for all your efforts! You make it seems less daunting as I am researching getting started.
Glad to hear that. It also gets easier with time. :)
Starting up a candle business (in process) we are using 6006 and thank you so much the ‘cure time’ for this particular wax was so confusing and I really want to get wick testing out of that way!! Thank you so much

Obsessed with your channel!!
Lol. Thank you. I appreciate that. Feel free to share it as much as you want. It helps! :)
I am a little jealous of your supply inventory! I am just starting out and hoping one day to have enough business to warrant having that amount of supplies on hand!
In time my friend! :) Don't rush it. Inventory can be a pain. Lol
Your videos are awesome. I would love to hear your take on the importance of adding fragrance oils at the right temperature…like is there a correct temperature. Why is 185 degrees believed to be the sweet spot, and explain how/if FO binds to the wax.
Thanks Yvette. That is a great video idea. I will plan that for sure! :)
This was a realky great video. I can't wait to try your suggestions
Yay! Thank you!
Hello. to me you are my Candle Teacher and the best handsome you tuber. thank you very much for you time, for to share.
😊 thanks Marisol. ... for the feedback and compliment. :)
Thank you so much for sharing this video. I just started making candles and every bit of information helps.
No problem!
This video was very informative. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge for free🙏🏽
No problem! You are welcome. :)
Nice tip for the htp wicks. Gonna try that. Thank you
No problem 👍
Thanks for all your advice! Super helpful! Can I please ask how do you heat your glasses and for how long?
Gloved up...wicked up....and twist your wick. Love these comments 😅💥👍
😁😆😎
Great video 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

I want to try that curl tip on a test burn when I begin creating ~ Thanks!
Welcome! :) Thanks for being here!
Great informative video, thanks for the post!
Of course! Thank you. :)

Thanks so much, Paula, I appreicate you!
Hey I love your channel and I’m learning a lot from your channel. Im having trouble getting a hot throw with 6006 in my aura vessel from wooden wick co. I’ve tried adding FO at 180-185 and 170-180 with CD and HTP wicks. So far the HTP wicks work best but still not getting the great hot throw everyone talks about.
I'd start by testing SEVERAL FOs first. not all FOs work well in all waxes. Many FOs these days have become subpar in my opinion too as they try to get competitive on price. I haven't used 6006 in aura jars myself. I prefr htp and premier 700 in 6006 as well as zinc core
Thanks for the tips I wanted get back to making candles but wanted to do it the correct way
No problem. Hope I can help. Many more coming!
Great video!
Thanks!
Any advice on best fragrance oil companies?
Very helpful
Glad it helped. Thank you! :)
What wick are you using?
Best candle page I’ve found so far … I’m new to this I just ordered 6006 what was the powder you used ?
Called UV Inhibitor. Just helps keep colors from fading as quickly. It'd optional. Most don't use it to be honest (especially if not dying candles). It's beat though if your candles will be in stores on shelves under uv light.
Hi there I’m new to candle making how much wax did you use for 4 candles 🕯 and fragrance how much? to use ? What size of vessel jar would you recommend for someone starting out making candles and is on a budget Great info thanks for video
Thanks. I start with something simple like a Mason jar or jelly jar. In the ones I made they were about 7 oz. So if using a 10% fragrance load it would be roughly 6oz of wax and .6o of oil for example. Then multiple that buy 4 for four candles
Hi Wade been seeing people weighing the FO separately but I believe it will be a waste of whats left from the separate container instead of directly weighing it to the wax and tare the scale. pls correct me if im wrong
You're not wrong. It's just a preference because it's more risk to add directly to wax. Like.... if you mess up and add to much, over pour, drop the bottle.. lol. It happens
@@BlackTieBarn you're right. the only prob i have is an extra gram
Hi Wade. Thank you for your videos. I found your channel yesterday and I believe I watched them all your videos. I subscribed because I am excited and ready to see more of your videos. Your patience and your explanations are gold. Would it be possible for you to make videos about selling wholesale, private, and white labels and explaining the difference? I hope I said that correctly. Thank you!
Great idea. I'll add that to my content topics! Thank you!
Very informative! I’m having some issues obtaining a fragrant high throw with IGI 6006, HTP wicks, and the straight sided tumbler Libbey. Any suggestions or pointers you can maybe offer?
Thats a tough jar to wick actually. What FO are you using and from what supplier. 6006 has good HT overall but still need quality oils, so I always start with checking the FOs. You can also try double wicking that jar with two really small wicks. Lile 2 htp 52s or 62s as a starting point. I'd also try 2 premier 725s or 735s. Again, those are just my best guessed for a starting point. I don't use that jar specifically but wood wicks can work in that size as well. Either way, I would start with your oils. Try several. If you get good HT with most the others, its probably just not a great oil.
Love your name by the way!
Thank you for your time and response, I greatly appreciate it. I have been having a very difficult time getting started. Here is my most recent breakdown:
The flaming Candle Co.- Hawaiian Pink Hibiscus
6% FO; heated until 180*; FO added at 160*, And stirred slowly for approx. 2 minutes; Poured at 150*. I didn’t warm the vessels this time. HTP-73 mushrooming, poor HO, not full melt pool. I previously had been using all Candle Science FO. I switched from the Libbey 917CD to the straight sided tumbler.
Thank you ❤️
Would you add UA to IGI 6006
Or coconut oil ?
I don’t even use 6006 and this was cool lol.
😂 Love this comment. Ha! Thanks Sarah!
Hi! What size wick did you use for that jar & wax combo? I’m needing a place to start :)
Thank you so much for this video! I’m new to the process and right now I’m only doing melt’s using the 6006. Is the “cure” time the same?
Not really. No wicking which helps
So much awesome information! Thank you! Would you mind sharing where you purchased the jar wick holders?
Thanks! :) I purchased these through Peak when they were still in business. Ill look to see where else they are sold though.
Thanks for sharing so thoroughly. It’s very helpful. Are you preheating the jars before you wick them?
With 6006... i try to. If not, I pour hotter and cover. :)
My candles sink down in the middle. Does not formm a hole. But dips down around the wick. How do I prevent this?
New subscriber! I’ve been making wax melts for years but don’t really mess with candles that much. I use several different waxes myself for our wax melts.... Do you have a good wick suggestion for 6006 beginners? How about any other waxes and wicks? I’m all ears! 😇☺️
Thanks for subbing! I responded to this on one of your other comments. Hopefully that info helps. And.. I hope testing goes well! 😉
Looking at all those fragrances behind you. Would love to know your favourites and some that works well with wax 6006.
It's hard for me to choose favorites.... impossible really. I like so many! But I would day that most FOs work well in 6006. It's a forgiving wax when it comes to HT. While most says are picky on oils that work well, 6006 takes most pretty well!
Great thank you. I just did two candles with 6006 and two candle science fragrances, Can wait to test them. Thank you so much for all your info on candle making.
If could do Aztec fragrances review that would be great, cause I live in Canada and we get free shipping on fragrances. I’m sure other Canadians would love the video too. Thanks
Again, learned a lot! I expanded that end shot to look at how you list the notes. I'm wanting to do that on mine. Do you list ALL the notes and in what order are they listed? I'm looking at the CS Blue Spruce and those notes aren't the same as what you have on your label, but they did also redo their scents since this video.
I'm currently waiting on an order with my first Blue Spruce and that color blue was almost what I had in mind, and I think I love it more than what I wanted lol
Lol. I have some labels where I list notes, but not always. Totally optional. And yah they changed their oils since when I made that label.
@@BlackTieBarn Now that I'm further "in it" I'm rewatching many videos and am better able to connect the dots lol Anyway, among other things, I bought your recommended wick trimmers (the ones in the video descriptions), but they're just not angled enough to get into the deeper candles very well (they're also 1/8" short of 1/4" but that's easily compensated). Then I saw the trimmers you show toward the end here... that angle looks like 90* and the bigger part (haven't I heard you call that a bevel???) looks thick (1/4"?), but it's not listed in the video description. Where'd you find those?!
Can you mix your own blends? I live in NZ - we don't have access to all of the waxes you mention. We have a choice of paraffin (not even sold by the candle supplies people - I buy it from a beekeeper who uses it to weatherproof his hives), soy, palm or coconut. No blends.
Absolutely you can. Blends are common. But you will want to make sure the wax you are getting is suitable or made for candle making. For example, without know the kind of paraffin wax the beekeeper is using i am not sure. I would assume it may work. But you'd need to know some important details like the melt point, max FO load, etc. You will probably need to add vybar to it as well. You could also blend the soy and coconut or any combination. Experiment and have fun. :)
Hey loving all your videos. What do the uv inhibitor do?
It helps slow down color fading of discoloration if using candle dye (due to uv rays from light)
I subscribed after watching this video. I have been doing research for month’s after my wife came to me with the idea that she and our 19 year old daughter had the idea to start making candles as a business. Naturally, as I am with everything, I went into research mode. I have been researching and purchasing things for them to get started. Currently I have GW464 wax. I am questioning if that was the right wax to start with. With the mail being delayed we have yet to get a first batch in. Looking to do so this weekend. Do you have any tips for working with this wax? I’ll be watching your other videos as well. Thank you for all the great information, you are the first I have left a comment to after watching many videos on RUclips.
Thanks for that great feedback Randy. Yes, I will be adding so much more. I will have a bit of a delay while we are relocating and setting back up (gonna take while). But, i will get back to videos in a week or so of some kind.
To answer your question, its no secret 464 is not one of my favorite waxes. I don't like the look nor do I like the performance of the HT. Other than that... its great! 😁 No wax is perfect they all have pros and cons. I prefer 6006 over 464 for sure. Its tough to wick sometimes but much more reliable. I also like problend 600 and joy wax because they are so easy to use. But they can also be somewhat picky on FOs and good HT. I haven't found a perfect wax... but I am always looking. I will continue to post more and more on waxes I try. Also, just wanted to say that I love the idea you are doing this with your daughter. I have three boys.mm ages 14, 11, and 4. They all help where they can. My 4 year old obviously can't do anything, lol. But he likes to pretend. :)
Hi Wade. I watched your video again. My question is if I mix 6006 with igi 4625 at what temperature should i mix and pour? Thank you!
I'd add F0 at 180-185 and pour around 175. Adjust from there if you need to. Hope that helps.
Wade, it's now been months since the new HTP wicks have been on the market. Have you started using the new one with this candle? If so do you like how it burns? And I know you don't like to use CD wicks.. Can you speak on a situation or two where you would use a CD wick?
Hey Dan. I have used the HTP wicks a bit. It may be just my experience, but they SEEM to be slightly hotter than the previous ones. Perhaps enough that they equate to one size larger. But that is still relatively small sample size as far as testing goes. It may be worth asking what others' experiences have been as well. That being said, I still have stock of the previous HTP's which is why I haven't really needed to use the new ones much yet. But I will eventually. Lol. I dont use AS many HTP's as I used to just because I use a lot of Premier 700s as well. all depends on the wax and jar I am using.
Regarding CD wicks. It's not so much that I dont like them..... I just dont like them with the wax and jars I use specifically. They workfine in waxes like 464, 444, etc. So I guess that would be the answer to the 2nd part of your question. :)
What premier wick would you recommend, I don’t have HTP wicks?
I’ve been using Htp 73’s for my 8 oz jelly jars and always have an even pool and cools super smooth. Now that HTP has changed, do you feel like they don’t burn as hot? Lately they’ve not been melting around the sides Thoughts?
I haven't used the new htps yet... I thought they were still reformulated them? I only have the originals still. But.... I have seen that happen before and the reason for me was slight changes in the wax. Because the wax can vary a bit batch to batch. So you may look at that as well. I do plan on testing with the new htps as soon as I can though
As far as I know the makers of Htp said they should be on all the suppliers shelves now and the old should be gone. I’m wondering if that’s why candlescience discontinued because they weren’t going to use the new ones. Anyways, what is your go to wick for 6006 wax? Specifically jelly jars? 9oz straight sided?
@@jennasullivan5077 Gothca. Good to hear then. I have plenty to keep my going while I test the new ones. :) Normally in my straight sides jars I use htp and premier700s but it depends on which wax I am using and what FOs.
Which wick stickers do you use?
Several over the years bust mostly cbslfe science and flaming candle I believe
Hi, came across your videos for the first time. Great job sir! I’m loving what you’re doing. Question what brand candle dye liquid are you using?
Most are from candle science. Mostly because I've used them for so long that my recipes are all made with them and haven't had much of a reason to change. I've sampled others though and liked them too. :)
And, thank you! :)
Great video. Do you use any additive to the 6006 to harden it up for the hot summers or any that you know of?
I do not. 6006 isn't exactly hard like you indicated but it's not near as soft as most parasoys. It's nelt point of about 133 where not the others are like 120 at best. So its better than others, but yes... can still be tricky in super hot weather. You can ship with gel packs though.
Vybar would firm it up a tough but only raise the melt point by a degree or 2. And you don't want to add it to 6006 as 6006 already includes vybar
Hi wayde I just subscribed and love your videos and have made many notes. I just purchased the 6006 for wax melts but would like them a little firmer. I have in hand some 464 and a bit of paraffin would any of these help if so what ratio would you suggest ?
Thank you
Sure. You are correct, 6006 alone isn't great for melts. I would add a hard paraffin personally... like 4625. 70/30 or 50/50 mix works well. :)
How do you pre heat the jars?
Oven on lowest setting for 5-10 minutes is commong
Hi there, awesome video! Question how do I find the item you used to stick the wick to the vessel after you put on the wick sticker
A few suppliers sell them. Candle science and lonestar candle supply i believe. You can also look on Amazon. Search wick setter or wick setting tool.
Black Tie Barn Candle Co. thanks I sincerely appreciate your response
Hi Wade! Is there a standard percentage of fragrance oil you use or would recommend using in 6006? 6% -10%? Thank you so much for all the great tips and videos!
Hey Sonya... I know you already saw my answer in the group, but just in case others here want to see my answer. I use 6% - 9% generally depending on strength of the FO. 6% for really strong FOs and 9% for lighter ones. Hope this helps!
Hi there! i am making 8 oz tins, and 4 oz tins with igi6006, and using fragrance oil from Candlescience. Can you help me with what temoerature i should heat wax, what temp i should poor from my pot boiler into my pour jar, what temp to add fragrance oil, when to pour after stirring fragrance oil in, and also what wicks to use for each container?
why did you not preheat the jars for these?
I rarely preheat. But you can if you want
Hi Wade, which premier 700 wick would you recommend for an 8oz mason jar with 6006 wax? Thanks
Honestly... the sizes vary greatly for depending on the FO. I use sizes all the way from premier 735 up to premier 765 for the ones that need it.
Thank you again for another awesome video. Quick question...I have heard about preheating the jars in the oven for about 15-20 minutes but would like to ask at what temperature do you do this?
Most people use lowest setting on oven. Often between 120 and 150. Plenty good enough. :)
@@BlackTieBarn Thanks so much. I know me...350 (F) and wondering what happened. LOL!
@@deteacher2b lol
I'm a huge fan of your content. I do have a huge question. What is the alternative for htp-83 6 inch wicks? I'm currently working with IGI 6006 and an amber vessel of 3 inch h and 2.5 top w. I been looking for htp-83 but all sold out.
Hey Edgar. Fortunately, htps should be coming back fairly soon from what I hear. Thst being said, wicks are hard to really be interchangeable. But... if you have any zinc core wicks to try, they work pretty well in 6006. Also try premier 700 series. I'd get sizes 740-760 and see if any of those work. Some people use eco and cd but I'm not a fan of those in 600y
@@BlackTieBarn Awesome I will take your recommendation. What about LX 16?
Haven't used in thst size jar with 6006 so not sure. :/
How muck wax did you use?
In England we can't get 6006 but I hear kerawax 4105 is the closest to a parrafin blend. It is parrafin and rapeseed. Is this a similar wax ?
Hey there. Honestly never used it before so I can't speak to that. I'll have to look igi it. Sorry not sorry helpful on this one right now. :/
Great video! Where did you get your wick placer!
Its been a while... but I believe CandleScience has them. Lonestar did at one point as well. Maybe even Amazon. :)
I want to do a live one day to ask questions about candles
On my radar! 😉
How much wax did u use
How much wax did you use for those 4 candles? Thank you sir! 💙
They are 7oz candles. Each candle is roughly 6.4oz wax and .6oz of oil.
So for four candles, 25.6oz wax and 2.4oz oil. But, each was has a different density so these numbers will vary a bit by wax. Best bet when making candles with a new jars (or wax) is to weigh and empty jar, then fill a jar once the way you want it and weigh again. The difference is how much it holds total.
Check out this video with a detail of how I create my formulas:
ruclips.net/video/8b8OsGbM5YE/видео.html
Hi I'm new to all this .are you using Fahrenheit or Celsius need help with that for my thermometer
Fahrenheit for me. :)
Where did you get your candle wick holders from ?
Acandleco.com I believe is the site.
Hi Wade. I'm just starting, that's to say I just made my 1st 2 candles and it's currently curing. 24 hours have definitely passed since I poured but I was waiting for another 24 hours to allow it to cure. However, you mentioned, it should be good to go once the candle is fully solid (I'm paraphrasing). So am I good to burn my candle after 24 hours?
Most people will tell you .. it depends. You can start burning to test the wick after a day or two for sure. If you want to test entire experience including HT, it may depend on your wax. All candles will get a bit better HT with more time. Paraffin and 6006 don't need much time but soy like 464 you might not smell anymore weeks. Just depends on how well the FO works with your wax.
10:52 why would anybody need 500 of those? Great video BTW thx!
😆 Because it's so cheap to buy 500 vs a smart qty. And they will last you years. I bought 500 once and lasted me still. I'd rather buy once for cheap than several times for more. :) And, thanks man.
You said you preheat your jars for about 20 minutes or so. Are you putting them in the oven? What temp? Do you ever use a heat gun to preheat the jars?
I usually don't actually. It was just a tip for those who ate struggling as it sometimes can help. But when I would preheat, I use the oven on lowest setting for about 10 minutes is plenty. :)
Yes you can use heat gun it just takes longer. :/
@@BlackTieBarn I’ll have to try that because the heat gun just isn’t doing it for me. I really appreciate you. Like…you have NO idea! This has been a long process, but I know it’ll be worth it when I launch 🤞🏾
I hear ya!. You got it Kenyata! Be patient and keep grinding. You will eventually hit thst moment when it all clicks and comes together. ;)
What do you use the UV inhibitor for? Is it Vy Bar?
UV inhibitor is to day the fading of your wax from uv light. Particularly if they will be sitting on store shelves. Vybar is different. Ill be posting a video on vybar later this week. Stay tuned! :)
For customer orders. How long do you let them cure before shipping them out? Do you give them a lead time of a week or so?
By the time you make them, let them cure a couple days plus label them, etc. Get an order, abd then shipping. It's usually at least a week anyway. :)
Hi Wade!! ❣️do you used vibar with IG6006 ?
Nope. It's already part of the blend. Adding more might only introduce issues
My HTP wicks fall to the side when burning, do you ever have that problem?
Yah. Many wicks lean, especially as they cure
How do you pre-heat your jars? Heat gun? Oven? Lol
Either it's fine. :)
If I was to preheat my tins by putting them in the oven what temperature and how long do you recommend?
I've never preheated tins. They hold great so well so if you want to preheat at all... you may just use heat gun or warning plate. But if want to use oven... use the lowest help possible for just a handful of movies l minutes. It varies by container type and size and they isn't a right answer. When I've preheated jars... I've done from 150 up to 190 for anywhere from 5 minutes to 15.
Thank you for this video! I’ve been having issues with parasoy and getting a good HT. At what temp do you add the FO to the wax? And how long do you stir? I’ve been using Candle Science FO and I’ve been getting great CT but terrible HT. I have to be right up on it in order to smell the scent
Common issue for sure. What parasoy(s) are you using? Some throw much better than others. Also, not all FOs throw real well in parasyo with a percentage of it being soy which can be pickier on oils in general. I add my oils at the manufactured recommended temps for pretty much every wax. Usually that is between 170 and 185. Hopefully this helps a bit!
Black Tie Barn Candle Co. I’m using IGI 6006. I leaned more towards that wax because I’ve heard such good things about how easy it is to use and how great the HT is. But yes, I definitely agree! It’s tricky with different scents! Thank you, this helped a bunch!
@@mulbah09 I use a lot of 6006 as well. And, yes... compared to most parasyos, I find it has the best or most consistent HT. But it isn't perfect. :/ Its hard to get great HT with every scent without using a straight high quality paraffin. But, even weaker or poor quality FOs wont do well in that either. Most of the FOs from CS are good there. The fruity ones are the only ones I notice weak HT on for the most part.
Same problem I’m having!!
I use fragrance from Maple Street Candle, and haven’t had a problem. I stir for two minutes then pour around 160-170.
How much wax did you use
What brand are the dyes? That blue is beautiful
These ones were from candle science
@@BlackTieBarn thanks
Can you use jam jars for making candles.
Definitely!
After you light your candles how long does it take for you to smell the hot throw?
Just depends on the wax, how strong the particular FO is, size of jar, and size of room. In a small room like bathroom or small bedroom... probably 10 or 15 minutes. For a larger room can be from 30 minutes to an hour
very informative video! thank you! i've been in the testing phase for months, but i can't seem to create a candle that makes me happy enough to sell. i'm using IGI6006, but i've yet to find the right wick. i'm getting a nice cold CT, but a very underwhelming HT regardless of the FO used. i am purchasing FOs and wicks from all the major suppliers, so i'm sure they're all of good quality. i think i'm doing everything right, because when i place my candle on a warming plate, the scent throw is amazing. sadly, when i light the candle, the HT is a disappointment. i'm using standard 12 oz mayo jars with 10% FO load. please tell me which wick BEST works with IGI6006. maybe i'm expecting a stronger HT than can be achieved by homemade candles?? i've purchased brands like Orleans and Tyler, and those are so VERY aromatic that they make mine seem like a dud. i'd appreciate your advice. thank you in advance.
It is hard to compare our own candles to big box companies who use proprietary blends designed for their specific application. Just do your best and you can get great results as well! I prefer mostly zinc core, htp, and premier 700 wicks with 6006. Or woodwicks if you use those in any jars.
@@BlackTieBarn What's the best to purchase the wicks you mentioned above?
what mic? audio sounds great!
Thank you. Honestly, not sure off the top of my head. I'll have to double check. I actually didn't think it sounded that good but you made me feel better about it now. So thank you!
Hello,
I’m Pre heating my jars and still having poor jar adhesion. Using Vybar 103 as well.
Any other tips?
Vybar is a hardener so that isn't helping adhesion. And vybar 103 is for high melt point waxes so it's even harder. Of you want better adhesion leave out the vybar. But honestly, some waxes just have good adhesion and some don't unfortunately
@@BlackTieBarn
Thank you for replying.
Melt to 190-200
Add fragrance 185
Pour 165-170
Pre heated jars
Some sink holes, some have even cracked!
Wood wick with some premier cotton wicks
We want the best possible scent throw.
During our testing they Vybar candles had better glass adhesion then the non Vybar. Lost for ideas.
A few fragranced just no hot throw either. Some are amazing! Any suggestions?
When I pour my fragrance oil in to my wax it cools the wax down at least 14 degrees which don’t give me enough time to stir and pour timely. Is there anything I can do to help with this? I use IGI 6006. Any advice?
What temp are you pouring at? Yes, 6006 being 70% paraffin will cool quicker than all soy for example. But that can also be a positive for other reasons. My advice is to add fo around 180-185. This is enough time to add it and stir. You also don't need to stir a fully 2 minutes. That is sort of a myth that started because people were blending well enough so it became a safe rule to follow to ensure proper blending. But, honestly... if you add your fo around 180-185 and mix it well for a good 45 seconds to a minute. You are good to go.
Another things some people do is warm their oils before adding. I've never done this nor needed to. But you could try it if push comes to shove. :)
Hey Wade great video like always!:) I always learn something new Everytime I watch your videos that's what I love:) I have a question is igi 6006 the main wax you use? I'm asking because I'm in the middle of thinking about switching waxes I'm not getting the Ht I really want... Would you recommend me switching to igi 6006 I really want to try it because of the Ht and smooth tops. I always love your opinion thanks:)
It is not my main wax. I use a few including 6006 though. It's a good wax if you can dial in wicking. It's tough in some jars though. Tricky wax to wick be patient.
@@BlackTieBarn ok thank you so much:)
@@BlackTieBarn love this video and eager to try 6006 instead of C3. I normally use HTP 136 in my 3in jar but you mentioned wicking down? Which HTP size would you recommend?
@@MimiBondi Hey Mimi, well the jars I am using with 6006 usually aren't 3" diameter jars. That size is VERY difficult to wick with 6006. The HTP I was mentioning wicking down was for the 2.2-2.5" jars. I typically use around an HTP83 on those depending n FO
@@BlackTieBarn Thanks for your fast reply! I was hoping you used it for larger jars too. Are you sayimg that size is difficult to wick with 6006 or, just with any wax? HTP136 in C3 is maybe a little bit large but htp126 is a little too small and double wicking isn't great...
