Hello, I'm from Mexico City and really love your videos. I'm about to launch my candle store and it has been a very interesting journey. The wax I use is 100% Natural soy without any additives, so it is really soft and greasy. I have been testing several natural additives to achieve a harder texture and I think I have already discovered my perfect formula for these type of candles. Just wanted to share my experience. Thanks for sharing yours!
Hi there❤️ would you mind sharing what natural additive worked best for you? I’m having a lot of difficulty with this wax as well. Would mean the world to me🥺 thanks x
Hello, I use Kerasoy pillar wax and I never had any issue or need for additive at all. Please check that the wax you are using I suitable for pillar candles, if it is soft and greasy it is made for container candles and therefore it is not the right wax to do moulded candles.
Your candles are sooo pretty and just perfect in every way... And the most satisfying part when you demold your candles, the sound makes me feel happy 😇 ❣️ Many best wishes and blessings for you ❤️
Heyyaa...i love and follow ur tips...though wen i make soy bubble candle .. there is a lot of frosting and some uneven surfaces...can u pls tel me how to even out the surface..so that the candle looks more polished 😊
I just subscribed! I love your videos. My question is what type of wax do you use for your silicone molds and what temperature do you pour? I use parafin and I get so many bubbles. 😢
Can you heat with a gun,when candle is not in the mold? I had a crack around the middle, not sure how to fix it or prevent it? My wax is same like yours.i poured at 55-60 c. What temperature are you pouring? I know you not using FO. I want to make pillars with FO. Could you make video about troubleshooting? Its a lot of videos about containers ,but about pillar candles just minimum. 🤗 Interested about EVERYTHING 💚🤍
It depends of the temperature of your room as well it will impact the quality/finish of your candle. As I don’t make scented pillar, I am not the right person to give advice on them I’m afraid. FO and dyes change all the results.
Hiii Marion, Finally after a long journey of learning and watching all of your videos literally ;). I made my first candles today, I use %100 soy pillar wax and %100 cotton wicks, my main goal is to create beautiful candles that are also healthier for us and the environment:) I did got sink holes and was frustrated lol but I always remember to enjoy the process
Hi Lizi, Amazing! Well done!! For sink holes you need to pour the additional wax slightly hotter to allow both to bind together. Regarding your « healthy » candle claim for you brand, be cautious with that as no candles are really natural. Soy is better than paraffin however soy production is not great for the environment. Make sure you can sustain your claims before you start the motions. I hope this helps.
@@GlowedCandles look like you are very busy. 😊😊 I have decided just few weeks ago that i want to try to make candles. Waiting for my molds and keep looking for professional advices😁🤗
This is so goodd!!. I tried making my own but mine are abit rough in look like bubbles and patterns on the candles the molds dont have any patterns on them, i mixed paraffin and soy, how do i privent or fix this? Am i doing smthing wrong?
Hi Marion, I'm glad I found your tutorial. Im wondering if you have any where you use acrylic moulds? I hear they are very tricky to release? Do you also do beeswax video? Anyways. I loved the video and the technique. ♥
Hello Chris and thanks for your message 😊. I only work with soy wax and I have never tried beeswax, not sure that it would work well in a pillar candle without an additive to make it harder. I am using an acrylic mold here: ruclips.net/video/sWooq5r7zjM/видео.html I find them easier than silicone mold however you do need the right wax!
Hi! Just started making candles for selling. Everything was great until 1 hour ago the wax in my bubble candle mold sunk horribly, the middle was still hot and the rest was cured like normal, i wasn’t in the room so i don’t know how ir happened! Have any recommendations? I’m an amateur and i learned everything w RUclips videos. Btw: i use 100% soy wax for pillar candles
I use plastic pitcher for unscented wax and metal pitchers for the scented candles as they are easier to clean with a heat gun (no risk of melting / Pouring Pitcher: amzn.to/3qpyoWZ). In both cases, I would strongly advise against putting them in the dishwasher.
Hi , I’m watching you videos and is really satisfying. I’m doing aesthetics candles too but I do have a problem , when I demould them they are perfect ! Second day or third day they become white 😂 they are creating the “frosting” effect 😭 what can I do ? I’m pouring it at 65c
i want to ask, if my location and my room temperature is quite low when should i pour my candle? i made bubble candle but always crack when i demold it :((( can you help me?
Hello there 🥺i recently just started making candles and i was wondering is it necessary to spray mold release on the silicone before pouring the melted wax? Also when i added fragrance i noticed the wax started to thicken very fast and when it’s dry it always frost at the top, should i change the oil? Thank you❤️
If you are using the right wax, you shouldn’t need a release spray. What wax are you using? For silicone moulds you need to use a wax specific for pillar candle. The oils binding might be to your temperature
Thank! The wicks are different for each mould. You need to test with your own wax as what works for me might not work for you. It also varies if you are using fragrance or not.
Hi - loved watching your video. I wanted to try out candle making for therapeutic reasons. Seems really relaxing. I have silicone molds similar to yours. I'm using SASOL 6213 PARAFFIN CONTAINER WAX but I keep getting air bubbles and frosting. Is there any particular Pillar wax you would recommend is Pillar wax a soy wax? Thanks ❤😩
Hello, I understand I find candle making very relaxing, almost like meditation. You are using a container wax meaning it is for candles in jar (scented candles) therefore it is not good for molded candles. A pillar wax will exist in various type (soy, paraffin..) but is formulated specifically for candle free standing or pillar (without a container). I hope this helps 😊
Hi, these are such amazing candles 😍 I am just starting to make bubble candles using paraffin wax, but they always get small bubbles and fog. If I put a colour in the candles they always have a white cast. Do you know a trick as to how I can remove that?
Hello, thank you 😊! Bubbles are a normal occurrence so I wouldn’t worry too much as long as they are small and it is not dozen of them in each candles. The fog you are mentioning is called frosting it is most common for soy wax, it is usually due to your pouring temperature. So you should try testing different pouring temperature
Hello, Pure soy wax is a container wax it is not suitable for molds. You need to use a pillar wax. I use use Kerasoy pillar blend or Ecosoya for pillar
There is a lot of places where you can get them or get them made custom for you. Some of mine come from Amazon, I have the links in my description box 😊
Each candle requires a different wick depending on the shape. I test each shape with different wick. I have a video here about testing wicks: ruclips.net/video/Iiq7LnpN9HM/видео.html
Ok, then your option with the leak is to use blue tack under your mold to stop the leak. The bubble mold are very thin and they are more likely to tear and leak than any other mold.
Hello which wicks for the pillar candles? I have the pillar candles but I need to remelt them but not sure which wicks I have to use… can I use eco wicks or cotton wicks? Please tell me . I didn’t make pillar candles and someone ask me to fix it as there was tunnelling and little broken from the middle so I need to fix it with wicks.
Eco wicks are cotton wick. The right wick will depend on the wax you are using and the side of the candle. The type of wax will determine the wick family, the diameter of the candle will help you pick the right size of wick.

hours? no, never more than a few seconds.
I want this candle moulds madam which is availables
Can you please tell where can I buy these moulds. Or can you supply these to India?

I will take note of that. Thank you for replying back to my messages 🙌🏼
Good morning where are these molds sold? The audio is really low in the video.
hello i have a question do you put FO to your pillar candles?
Hello, no I don’t
Such informative content - thank you. Can I ask what size wick do you use for these candles?
Each candle has a different sizes depending on their sizes and the way i want them to burn.
Very impressive and though good for beginners. Which wax did you use ?
Many thanks! I use Kerasoy Pillar Blend
Hi, can you give the link for wick used ? Your candles are soo amazing
Hello, thanks 😊 I use different wicks depending of the candle and I buy from CandleShack
Hello. Are you doing same amount every day? Can you explain more about how many and when you are doing? Thank you😊
Hello,
I pour candles every day mostly in the evening after my day job. If I have a lot of orders I pour twice a day before and after work.

Is there a specific size or brand of cotton wicks you can recommend? To me, this is the hardest part to figure out. I’d love your help.
It depends on the wax you use and whether you use dye and or fragrance. Testing is the hardest part of candle making, but you will get there!

hello the quantity of soja wax you used for this please >>
Whats the name of the wick are you using for these molds if you don’t mind?
I use different series eco, TCR, cl…
I meant what size of eco, TCR, cl…. You know that’s the most important part of the candle
what type of plastic pitcher do you use to pour the wax into the molds? I'm looking for one that my dishwasher won't destroy
I use plastic pitcher for unscented wax and metal pitchers for the scented candles as they are easier to clean with a heat gun (no risk of melting / Pouring Pitcher: amzn.to/3qpyoWZ). In both cases, I would strongly advise against putting them in the dishwasher.

I am specialized in natural candles without any colours so I wouldn’t be able to help.
Niceee. But I just want to ask, why are your candles not breaking when you remove it in mold?? When is the best time to remove it from the mold?
Thanks. They do not break because I am using the right wax specific for pillar candle. The wax gets really hard allowing for proper demolding.
Hi mam... After drying my candle looks with white spot... How to get rid from that and get good finish
Did you you use a dye?
i want to ask, if my location and my room temperature is quite low when should i pour my candle? i made bubble candle but always crack when i demold it :((( can you help me?
It is possible. Wax doesn’t like the cold or temperature change
Where did you get that square diamond looking Mold?
Hello, amzn.to/3JziRMD
I did my candle, but it’s not shiny or how can I fix thank you
Most decorative candles are not shiny. The only candles that will be shiny are the one made in. An acrylic mould.
Hello ❤️ what is it - tac?
Hello, yes blue tac to prevent the mould to leak from the bottom. Works a treat!
Hello there 🥺i recently just started making candles and i was wondering is it necessary to spray mold release on the silicone before pouring the melted wax?

Hi! How long do you let the wax set before you take out of the mold?
Hello! At least 8h to allow the wax to harden fully.
Nice video, I love it 👍 what wick are you using for the moulds ? is the same one for all or different ?
Thank! The wicks are different for each mould. You need to test with your own wax as what works for me might not work for you. It also varies if you are using fragrance or not.
How much fragrance oil you use for bubble candle??
Hello, my decorative candles are all unscented so I wouldn’t know.
Hey. Kerasoy pillar blend is not available here. :( do you think soy wax 464 would be good for these candles ?
Hello, no… 464 is a container wax. Too soft to be used in molds.
@@GlowedCandles heyy! 👍🏻 Okayy
What wax do you use are they fragerant or not many thanks great video 👍
Hello, I use Kerasoy pillar blend and all my decorative candles are unscented
@@GlowedCandles thankyou x
❤ nice❤
Do you use a mould release spray??
No, if the right wax type you don’t need to use release spray
What is the temperature of pouring the mould?
Around 64
What temperature do you pour for the bubble molds?
It depends of the type of wax you are using and whether your candles are scented or not. I pour mine around 60 ‘C

I didn’t make pillar candles and someone ask me to fix it as there was tunnelling and little broken from the middle so I need to fix it with wicks.
Eco wicks are cotton wick.
The right wick will depend on the wax you are using and the side of the candle. The type of wax will determine the wick family, the diameter of the candle will help you pick the right size of wick.
