Can we talk about how absolutly funny he is?! Great humor 😂
😁
Thank you so much for this information!! I never even considered…I am so happy I found your video this morning ❤
Awesome topic thank you for this lesson. Makes huge sense now that you explained it and it is something that we all never thought about.
Glad it was helpful!
I just experienced this today. I thought I did something wrong. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing this info!!
Any time!
Holy crap, haven’t even thought about this! Thanks. I never had an issue with Joy Wax but I’ve noticed a little with the Coconut Apricot wax.
❤️
Thanks for the video...Great information.
Glad it was helpful!
This was my fear about bulk orders. I could not figure out how to melt/reblend everything and break it down for later, especially with only 1 "home" heater. I was thinking about melting as much as I can and then pouring it into blocks from aluminum foil meatloaf trays. This way the whole "bulk batch" would be consistent with reheating little blocks.
*edit Good to know the odds are in our favor for consistency on slabs/cases, but separation can still happen sitting in our storage.
Yep. If you are active with your materials it's less of a risk but my advice to try and melt down and mix together whatever size units you purchase your wax in. Slab, case, etc
Great video- fabulous advice! We need more. 😁 🥳 Keep being yourself Wade. 👍🎈🎉
Thank you! Will do!
Great video. Appreciate the education
😁
Huh! That is something I have never given thought to. My wax has always been pretty consistent, No.7 from 16/17. However, I will adding this tip to my routine from on. Thanks Wade!!
❤️👍
I use 464 and I always stir in my melter before I add anything and pour. I have always done this, usually to take an accurate temp. I just like to stir so everything in that melter is the same. I have never been told to do so and I have never read anywhere that it was good practice. It just made sense to me.
❤️👍
Thanks I’m not doing it but now I will start 👍
Best of luck!
Great information!!!
Glad it was helpful!
You got me with the question. I assumed stirring a bunch was involved so I threw that answer away immediately. Do some people not stir their melted wax before adding anything?! That's crazy to me! I've had issues with some waxes, particularly Joy wax making the resulting candle have a large crack in the wax. No issue fixing it, as Nature's Garden says to by adding a little vegetable shortening to the melted wax. Has solved the issue for this one batch of wax I've gotten that I'm slowly working through that constantly has this issue. As usual, great to know these little things that people don't always consider! Foresight for "Eh, I'm in a rush and don't have time to stir. It'll be fine." type situations. Thanks for the video and the info!
It's not so much about just mixing what you melted... but mixing whatever was packed together. Slab or case
@@BlackTieBarn Ohhh, I see. I work in such small batches I don't even consider that. I don't even know if I have a pot big enough to fit slabs of wax at the same time! 😅
Thanks Wade 🤙🏼
No problem Scott. Thanks for watching as always!
Excellent information
Thank you!
Thank you for this video! This is my second batch ever of candles and I bought a large thing of GW 464. It's the same wax I used the first batch, but larger amount. This batch though looks hiribke and I cand see old separation in the finished candle. Now I know what to do!
It definitely can happen. 2 options. Melt down and blend again, cmouls may have just separated a bit. But there are times you can get a bad Batch. It's not common but it can. Feel free to reach out to supplier with the lot/batch number and ask
Wow this possibly explains what happened recently to me. I bought my first big bulk wax and maybe it had been sitting at the warehouse longer compared to the much smaller bags I started with, but my wax acted different this time. My process was the same, testing same etc. Wax same except it came in a box with four times the amount I used to buy. That was the only difference. I can’t melt 50 pounds of wax at once though. Not yet anyway.
It's okay. We all start that way. Like I said, it's usually fine. But it's a good practice to get into. Try, if you can, to cut the case in halves and stir those.
Omg this makes sense 🤦♀️ So, ive been getting into testing again. However, i bought my wax a year ago. LIFE happened, and i had to pause on candles. A year later now, i made more test candles almost exactly the same as my first batch a year ago. But they seemed off to me. This could be why 😔
💯
Lord knows I’m happy I came across this video because I was getting ready to throw out my entire candle corner not knowing this could be happening 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮(I like the sweet tea analogy) I appreciate your selflessness
❤️❤️
Bendiciones, usted tienes en español, gracias bendiciones
Yep.... Joy Wax sweats
❤️
exactly my thoughts about blended wax. like how sure are you they are blended right vs i blend it myself with measurement needed
👍
Thank you for a very informative video. Have you consider doing a live Q&A?
Yah I have done a couple. :)
Please post when you doing the next live Q & A. THANK YOU!!’
Can the same thing affect "pure" soy wax like 464? I know in theory it's suppose to be just wax but in one of Your videos You mention there are usually some additives in those anyway to stabilise the wax and so on. Do You think those additives can precipitate out? :) Also I have another question about thing I raraely see mentioned: total burn time of the candle. I want to know Your opinion on how it affects buying habits of customers. Is more always better and what is Your general opinion on the matter? Do You plan to achieve specific burn time or just accept whatever comes out from testing and other things are more important? Have a nice day!
Once you add additives you definitely want to stir that well. But mixing well beforehand is important to make sure the waxes themselves. And yes soy should be stored simply because of the oils in them
@@BlackTieBarn Great! Thanks. Hope You will touch on the burn time in another Q&A video :)
Hi Wade,
Thank you for the tip🙂
I always stir my wax. I make in small batches. Double Boiler. Question why does my wax drop 10-20 degrees while stirring? Adding extra time to reach the desired temp.🙂
Thank you 🐝
PeAcE
Several reasons... more time to cool, evenly distributing heat around, adding air. And of course cools much faster when you add oil
@@BlackTieBarn thank you so much Wade 🌿🐝🌿
Hi Wade, its me again with another question. I keep reading Problend 600 is very finicky with HT. How true is this? Do i need to discard all my Problend 600. Aside from Premier 700 wicks, what other wicks do you recommend for a great HT in Problend 600? Thank you in advance.
Really most waxes can be. Use good oils that seem to work well (through testing) and give them some time. My favorites are premier for sure that I guess htp/eco/zinc
And yes the firework guy is making candles
🤣
If I don't have a melting pot large enough to hold all my wax, can I just melt and stir a portion of it, wait for it to dry, and then store it again? Basically just do it in sections. Also, is it not bad for the wax to keep reheating it?
You can. And no, not unless you scorch it. :/
@@BlackTieBarn Okay great! Just out of curiosity, at what temps does scorching occur for problend 600?
What if the blended wax is in pastille or flake form. It still needs to be blended again?
Probably less so just depends how well it held up. I'd still thoroughly mix together when melting just in case
check the batch number...?
Definitely can but doesn't really tell you condition it was stored, how many transits, etc. Wax can change a bit with those factors
I did not get it right
