This is by far the best candle making presentation I have ever seen. I would love to begin making candles as well. I have a lot of moulds I was given. Now I am not afraid to start.

    • @angryoldman9140

      Just an update, I have made beeswax candles , I had a ton of Mann Lake ltd molds I was given for free, I’ve been making candles, they’ve all turned out good, I’m now testing them before giving them out. I tested using cappings wax and lower grade brown beeswax. I was getting sinkholes in my candles after pouring, so I found that by putting the beeswax-filled moulds immediately into my oven that has been pre-warmed by the Oven light (and keep it on during this process) on a cookie sheet, they did not have tunneling , or sinkholes in the wax due to cooling too fast. It really helped. I also found during testing that my unprimed wicks tended to snuff themselves out before reaching the wax. I thought if I primed just the first inch of the wick that was to go into the top of the candle (bottom of the mould) that it would fix that problem, and I wouldn’t have to prime the whole wick as primed wick is hard to get through and pull through the candle mould holes.

    Fantastic video! I'm a hobby beekeeper with about 40 hives. I've been accumulating all of my wax for the past several years. I still have yet to attempt making candles, however I already purchased the supplies. This video was exactly what I needed to see. Nicely narrated too. Very helpful. I'd love to see more of your wax melting equipment. I subscribed and I'll certainly check out your other videos. Thanks again for taking the time to create and share this video 🐝🐝🐝☮️☯️

    Cool! I’m looking forward to making cosmetics and candles and a furniture wax finish that comes from a 16th century recipe I found in an old manuscript in my book collection. Most of this will go to make a custom furniture repair filler (from that same book). I’m new to bees and having good luck in following your videos so far. Thanks for yet another great idea to make another profit line in our businesses! Years ago when I made candles we used a hot air gun to warm the molds first so they cooled a bit slower…no sink holes

    @schammond8993 Год назад +1

    You did a great job explaining the process!
    By the way, if you didn't package the candles you would be dusting them continously, some dust just embeds itself in wax, after all the hard work it takes to clean the wax. No to mention folks picking them up then putting them back with their dirty bacteria laden hands.
    You were very detailed and made it easy to understand.
    A very good tutorial.
    Great video. Thanks

    What an excellent video. 132 thumbs down? WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE!! That setup is really cool and such a nice shop you have. I love the little dowels and all the slots for them and the lighting is perfect. That melter is sweet too. Those are pricey! Anything stainless from Mann Lake sha shing lol I've been using a crock pot and turkey baster, and that baster gets flippin hot after a few squirts. Interesting that you filter it one last time into your pouring pot. I'd like to set up a similar wax processing area on a smaller scale. I'm just now getting where I have a little bit of wax to work with. I'm going to have to check out what else you guys have posted. You must have a lot of hives to have all that wax I saw stacked up there. I try to manage around 30 hives and boy it's a lot of work. . It was a good year for us with plenty of rain, so we got quite a few cappings from around 550 lbs of honey. I saved some of our darker wax from last year to put back on my plastic rite-cell foundations that need recoating. This year's I melted into the 1 oz bars. I didn't see in the comments below on where you get your wick. Do you use Mann Lake for that as well. Are your molds mostly Mann Lake? LIKED AND NEW SUBSCRIBER.
