For your reference, I use IGI 6006 Parasoy wax, 8 oz. Jelly Jars, ECO 8 wicks, and Fragrance Oil which can all be found on Candlescience.com. Results may vary based on a number of factors, so be sure to adjust the steps accordingly for your specific type of wax and FO!
Here are the steps in bulleted form:
1. Place double layer foil onto the table/pouring surface;
2) Wrap your vessel in 1 layer of foil;
3) Preheat the jars with your heat gun;
4) Heat wax to 195 (using a pesto pot), put into pouring pitcher;
5) Add FO at 175;
6)Stir for 2 minutes;
7)Let sit for 30 seconds;
8) Smack your pouring pitcher with a butter knife where the wax is filled to in order to pop bubbles and release any trapped air; then pour immediately.
9) Right as the wax begins to become cloudy and builds a film on top, hit each jar for 5 seconds around the wick with the heat gun;
10)Remove foil once candle has hardened and cooled;
11)Trim wick, cap it, put candles in the original box, and let them cure.
Thanks for reading/watching/listening! Please let me know what you think of this method, and how it works out for you!

Thank you very good video please can you do a video on recycling candles where the wick has burnt out
Thanks for watching, hopefully you found this little tutorial helpful!
I really like how you took your time to explain everything. Got a new subscriber lol
I'm so glad it helped you! Thanks for your kind words and support!
Same! So helpful!
Same, just came across this video and found it really helpful so thank you 😊
Same.
Your candles look perfect. I am considering my options to replace my income as a nurse ( as are just about all of my nurse friends recently) I was doubting how I could figure out how to make my candles less "homemade". Your thoughtful solutions are as simple as they are genius. Well done Sir.
Just wanted to say thank you! Using foil around the candles totally works - it keeps them from cooling off too quickly and thus forming sinkholes near the wick. I will also add this idea: be sure to use the shiny side of the tin foil against the surface of the candle. This will do an even better job of maintaining the candle's warmth for a longer period of time. You may have already mentioned this, but if you did, I missed it. :) I'm also glad that you mentioned the proper temperatures for adding the fragrance oil and for pouring - that's helpful for newbies, too, because it makes a big difference. Anyway, thanks again!
I have been making candles for 10 years, I just found the wick setting tool a few months ago and I absolutely LOVE it! Isn't it great? I also just bought the wax melting pot, and it saves so much time!! Thanks for the awesome trick and the video!!!
Wow, what a milestone! Yessss, the wick setter is a God send! You're very welcome, glad you enjoyed 😊
Omg it's brilliant!! My first time seeing it and I'm gonna go to Candle Science now to look for it.
What a great technique! Quality and consistency is a key to success and pride in workmanship. It only makes sense to preheat the jars prior to your pour and the result is perfection.
Thank you very much!
Wow, I have to tell you, I am extremely impressed! I too use Candle Science but I stopped making candles about a year ago (for a few reasons) and thought I would start making them again since I have thousands of dollars in scents, wicks, jars, etc. It is so funny, I have nearly the same equipment that you do, LOL! I assume the reason for the foil is to help the jar maintain a certain level of warmth which is what contributes greatly to the finished (flawless) candle? This video was excellent, thank you so, so much! You've inspired me to start again. 😊👍
Thank you so much for your kind words! Yes, the purpose of the foil is to slow the cooling process by insulating the vessel, ensuring adequate time for proper adhesion :) I'm glad to be of service, and hope you continued inspiration and successes in your journey!

@@lizzy5437 Hi Lizzy! I use IGI 6006 wax 😊
Please more videos. Thank you
Yes! I absolutely love this video! It’s really helpful & informative, I’d definitely love to see more videos from you. Like a detailed video of when starting out what’s the most important things to buy!? Should I buy a kit or buy everything separately!? Candle making terms and meanings. I’m wanting to learn as much as possible, this is something I’ve been passionate about doing for about 15yrs. I’ve watched many many videos over the years , but this one was something I’ve never herd & I think you can definitely help so many with tips , mistakes & best candle making supplies. I know for me this is something I’m so passionate about and want to do this with my daughter & I love making others happy & something about candles is so beautiful to me. I love making things , I used to make body butters and so much more and I still want to do that but I am so ready to start making candles. I really appreciate your video.... thanks 😊
Excuse any mistakes, I sometimes can’t sleep because of my chronic pain and insomnia. So I do my research when I can’t sleep & it helps me fall asleep & I end up making a lot of grammar mistakes 🤦🏻♀️
Can you please provide links to the materials you're using?
Loved the video, I am in the process of setting up my New Candle, Soap, and Skincare Business here in Seattle WA. I have been doing a lot of small batches of stuff to see what I like and what works and such and found that your Video was great and something to add to my homework. Winner Winner Chicken Dinner ...lol
I'm so glad you loved it! I hope you find it useful in your future endeavors!
I tested out this method because I've been frustrated by all the uneven surfaces I've been getting with the 464 wax. I wrapped the vessels in foil and put them in the roasting pan and covered it, and it worked! So happy for having such an easy solution to a vexing problem. Many thanks!
So glad it helped you out! You're very welcome!
I use the same 464 & get the same (wet spots) can’t wait to try this. So glad I came across this video
He makes a beautiful product. His care and attention to detail make the difference. I'm sure he has a lot of satisfied customers.
Thank you so much! I do my best to provide the best quality I can :)

@@ML-xh6rd It really means a lot, thank you so much!
Makes a lot of sence beating that air out and heating that top before it has a chance to make sink hole very helpful I’m gonna try it
Great job! You’re a natural. Beautiful candles
Awe, thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
This was so wonderful and thoughtful of you to share ❤️
Thank you 😁 I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Cringe
@@eternalmind908 What's cringe?
This could be especially helpful for colored candles.
Best candle vid ever ! You’re such a natural.
Thank you very much 😄
This is great for low volume candle making. Not practical when you produce thousands a day.
Thank you so much Joe for sharing this with us. This was extremely helpful!!! I’m going to give this a try!! You are awesome!!!!
You're so very welcome! I'm glad it was helpful, and I hope it works out great for you! Best of luck:)
Loved how you explained everything you are doing and why you are doing and demonstrating. This is how we learn.
Can I ask you what is the point of doing the foil around the candle? I am very new to this and this is the first time I’ve ever seen this but your candles look amazing and beautiful. Are use the same wax but I never ever thought of wrapping them in foil.
The foil helps to retain the heat so the candle can cool slower and more evenly which helps with proper adhesion! When the wax cools too quickly, it pulls super hard toward the center, causing sinkholes and poor adhesion. This method completely fixes that 😊
"Glossy like I want it!"😆 🤣 😂 you're great dude! Starting my biz, the for your gems!
Thank you so much for your kind words :) Best of luck to you!
I am perplexed as to why you wrap your candle jars in foil? What does it do?
GREAT VIDEO BRO! Very helpful information! I am new in candle making and this is golden... i should say silver - foil pun! LOL! Thank you! Edit: Love the eliminating bubbles beating! HAHA
Lol! Thank you so much for your kind words of encouragement, Chester! Best of luck to you :)
Hello..
Does this method work for 100% soy? Or should I follow the instructions for my wax( as far as temperatures) and foil & heat as directed in the video?
Great idea by the way. I’m anxious to try it out
Hi Jataun! I haven't tried it on other wax types, but some viewers have shared their photos with me of this method with other wax types and so far its worked well for everyone! Adhere to the recommended temps for your wax, and then follow the rest of the directions in the video and you should have great success!
Glass City Candle Company ok.. I’ll be trying this out in an hour. I will upload my results. THANKS
Thank you Joe! This was a great video with details I can use. Good work!
You're very welcome! I'm glad you found it useful! Thank you for your kind words, and best of luck to you!
Thank you so much for this! Literally God sent! Please tell me, when the candle is burning, does the top remain smooth after every burn or is the smooth top primarily for presentation of selling? Thank you!
You're very welcome! When allowed to reach a full melt pool, my candles set up smooth after every burn.
Please post more content.
I'll work on it! Is there anything you'd like to see?
Hello, can you show to get label size and how you do yours?
Beginner candle maker here! 🙋🏻♀️ Thank you so much for this video. Your explanation was so thorough and helpful! Please make more videos. 👍🏼💖 New subscriber here. Thanks again for sharing! You are much appreciated!
Lots of good ideas in this video. I wish I watched this before making my Candles, but there’s always next time.
Glad you enjoyed! Best of luck to you!
Thank you so much for doing this after a long day at work. That was so kind of you. I subscribed, so I can learn how to make that pesto pot! :) hint hint... How much FO do you use?
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video, thank you for your kind words! I use between 7.5%-10%, usually closer to 10% :)
Candles came out amazing!! I’m about a month into candle making and kept having issues with my tops, no matter what I tried. Thank you for this!
Thank you!! I add foil under my candles but, didn't think to wrap them!! Cant wait to try this!
You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed the video, and I hope this technique works as well for you as it has for me!
This was so helpful and came to my suggestions when I needed it most !! I can’t wait to try the foil method I’ve never seen anything like this before.
I'm so glad you found it helpful! I hope you'll report back and let us know how it goes! Best of luck :)
Why's he using the foil at all.. I don't see any use of the foil here
@@Punnya_Rao to insulate the jars so the wax doesn’t cool too fast & prevent things like sinkholes and wetspots.
@@Punnya_Rao I still don't get the point of foil?
Thank you so much for this tip! I watched this video and went to make a candle using the tin foil method, IT WORKS. Not a single wet spot and a smooth top. Thank you so much, i have subscribed :)
I'm so glad you liked our method! Thanks for watching and subscribing :)
Very impressed with your tips
You're very generous and thoughtful to share them thankyou
I've been so fed up with constant sink holes in gb464
I'm glad the video was helpful! Best of luck to you and yours!
oh my god, been making candles for 2 years and i NEVER heard of this method until now! OMG, I'M TRYING THIS ASAP THANKS SO MUCH
Im having great results with the foil trick. Thanks so much for sharing!
I'm so glad it's working well for you, it's my pleasure!
U didn't tell the purpose of wrapping a jar with an aluminium foil !!!
Hi Rahat! The purpose of the foil is to insulate the jar in order to slow down the cooling process and ensure even cooling throughout the entire candle.
Great video thanks, what do you use for melting and pouring into metal kettle? Be useful tool... Great job
Thank you for your kind words, and you're welcome for the video! I actually use a "presto pot" that I made myself! They're super easy to do :)
Thanks so much for sharing your method. I achieved my first batch of candles with no wet spots!!!
Hi Jersey Ta! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and had great results! Thank you for watching! I hope you'll stick around for future videos :)
Wow..this is extremely helpful..i was using felt wraps, which are a pain..this is sooo much easier..thanks for sharing
You're very welcome! Glad you enjoyed ☺
Great advice. I am learning and all the other videos have sunken tops. These look great. I'm going to use your method.
I'm glad you enjoyed, best of luck!
Just stumbled on this video...
So what is the purpose of the foil anyway? I'm guessing it helps retain heat in the jar, allowing for the wax to set up without any voids in it. Is that it?
Thanks for watching! The purpose of the foil is to insulate the jar in order to slow down the cooling process, and ensure proper glass adhesion and even cooling throughout the entire candle.
@@glasscitycandlecompany5126 👍 Thanks
Nice tips on 6006 wax. Very consistent, beautiful candles. I don't use 6006, but enjoyed the video and can appreciate the method you are using to get your well formed candles. I'm sure people who use 6006 are happy to get the information. Thanks for sharing with others!
Thank you! I've actually seen people have success with this method with other wax types as well! Definitely something worth trying out 😊
I loved that you took us through step by step right to finished product. I've watched many videos on candle making and yours is by far the best. Another new subscriber here. Thank you so much.
Thanks for this video!
I have 2 doubths, why you use the metal paper around the jars? And why you put heat on the top of the candle? Thanks☺
The tin-foil is used to insulate the vessel in order to slow down the cooling process. When the wax cools, it shrinks and grabs toward the center. When wax cools quickly, this process is exaggerated, leading to deep pockets of air (sinkholes). By slowing down the cooling process, you ensure that the wax has proper time to adhere to the inside of the vessel, and not shrink as dramatically, which helps prevent sinkholes! I heat the top of the candle to further prevent sink holes, as sinkholes are caused by uneven cooling, and if the top solidifies before everything else it can hide these problems. It also aids in removing any air bubbles that have risen out of the wax as it cools, which also helps with preventing sinkholes. Hope this helps!
Just watched this video after I found you. I immediately subscribed. I make candles occasionally for fun for myself. I never understood why sometimes they came out just fine and other times they would hollow out in the center. I would try to go back and add more wax but it only helped once or twice. Now I know, thanks. One question though, do you put the lids on them as soon as they have completely cooled?
Hi Sabrina, thank you for your support! I am glad the video helped, you are very welcome :) Yes, I add the lids as soon as the candle has completely cooled. If you add the lid while it's still warm, you risk the chance of condensation (and water is wax's worst enemy. Hope this helps, and best of luck to you!
Amazing! Thank you SO much for making this video, it really helped me a lot! ♥
You're welcome! Im so glad you found it useful!
Wow! This was the best tutorial! Thank you!
WOW! Just made my first candle today & it has a dip so I turned to youtube & found YOU! Wow! Very impressive. Thank you... I think I'll continue to BUY my candles.. haha= I avoid Parafin but I might have to try your lemon verbena! Thanks!
??? What is foul supposed to do ?? You didn't explain
Hi Jaishema! The purpose of the foil is to insulate the jar in order to slow down the cooling process and ensure even cooling throughout the entire candle.
Would this process work for soy wax 464?
Hi there! I've actually had a few viewers reach out and let me know that it did indeed work for them with 464 wax :)
Thank you soooooo much!! Every video I watched for the wet spot, they just say 'never mind'. I hope that works!! I just tried it, i'll update if they come without wet spots !!
For how long can you leave the melted wax in the presto pot? If you take some out to use and you leave wax in the presto pot, can you continue to have it melted to use more wax from it?
You can keep the wax in the presto pot indefinitely! I never fully empty it, I just add more wax as I go! Once the wax hardens, put the lid on to keep contaminants out and try to never heat above 200. Ive had no discoloration, decreased performance, or other issues doing it this way. Hope that helps!
Awesome hack. Thanks for sharing. This technique is time-consuming, but it definitely works. It's been a while since you uploaded a video. Are you guys still making candles?
Excellent work..
Thank u so much 4sharing..this video was amazing..
Question: I see u measured approx. 48oz of wax...how much FO should be added...??
Is there a ratio u like to use to achieve the best throw..??
Thank u..
Namaste
Really nice. Thanks for sharing your method. Question do you reuse the foil around the jars? TIA
Yes I do! I replace them only as needed. After a dozen batches, I've only replaced 3 pieces of the foil. If you spill any wax on the foil, just use your heat gun and let the wax drip onto a paper towel
Hello mate, thanks for the video and information share. Can I ask why you pour at 165, the recommended pour tempos 175. The reason I’m asking is that I’m new to candle making and I’m struggling with hot throw. They smell great when unlit but nothing on burning. I’m in the UK and don’t have access to most of the waxes and tools that you have access to. I can’t even get an EZ wick tool, candlescience won’t post to the uk and the only place that will is a seller on Etsy who wants 86 pounds for the tool and 113 pounds for postage!! She can do one, that’s what you call taking advantage of a situation.
Also, do you have a website or are you on Instagram, a place where I can go support my fellow Biz member?
We don't currently have an Instagram (behind, I know lol!) but you can find us at glasscitycandlecompany.com, or by searching "Glass City Candle Company" on Facebook!
Does the foil prevent crystallization/frosty candle issues and what fo formula do you use to mix the right amount?
What is the tool called that you use for centering the wick please? I'm struggling to find one online. Thank you.
Got it from Candlescience.com. It is called "EZ Wick Setter (Single Wick)"
Thank you
Oddly satisfying to see the bubbles come to the surface when you're tapping the side, lol. Are you using soy? I'd like to do beeswax but that stuff's gold these days. Do you have an opinion about blending maybe 10% bees to 90% soy? It's a great video, thx.
I wish u would say _why_ u are doing stuff... _Why_ 200° ? _Why_ cover the jars with tin foil? _Why_ pre-heat the jars? _Why_ not pour it at 200° / _why_ wait for it to cool to 160°? _Why_ re-melt the tops? (u said "it works" ... it works to do what?)
Do the bubbles occur from mixing in the F.O.? I made 1 candle for myself and forgot to mix it into the wax but didn't notice if there were any. I burned the candle 3 days later and it worked fine except it was very glossy and minimal cracking on top. Thought it couldve been from not mixing the oil?? Thoughts?
Sir..How to increase mealting temperature of candle.. In my shop all candles are getting malt in normal temperature (40℃)..Sorry for grammar mistake..
Would this work on beeswax candles? I'm about to find out! Ill post update with my results. Great educational video on making candles with all tools needed.
That sounds exactly like me going for a wee.
Brilliant video - thanks for taking the time!
You're so adorable 🥰 lol
Lol thanks! I hope you enjoyed the video!
The video was good lol
Hi I watch your wick making video..
I’d like to know if you’ve ever tried tightly braiding the Cotton string? I saw someone do this many,many years ago.She said this will produce a longer burning wick. Do you know if that is true and /or safe?
I would like to make seven day candles and I haven’t been able to find any info on that. Do you have any experience making these. If so, would you share how.
So many great tips, I struggled with bubbles. Now would tap them out 😅. Thank you !
Thank you for making this video. It's a great tip! I tried the aluminum foil wrap and hitting the pour pitcher with a utensil, and I do think it helps prevent holes and wet spots. However, I didn't have any luck with going back and re-melting the top with my heat gun - it did not dry smooth. I tried to replicate your results a couple times, but I seem to either be re-melting the tops too soon or I'm waiting too long. I'm using 4" diameter Libbey jars, which differs from yours of course so the approx 40 min cooling time isn't comparable. Right now the only way I can get a perfectly smooth top is to repour. I had a hard time seeing in your video exactly how much the top was set before you hit it with the heat gun.
Any chance you can shoot another video with better closeups? Perhaps even put some dye so it's easier to see. Are you able to produce these results with large jars? Thanks for your help!
You're welcome, Karen! Thank you for your kind words. My method can be adjusted to work for basically any vessel, but it may require some experimentation on your part to get the most ideal results! The perfect time to remelt the tops is when you see the wax starting to pull up toward the wick in the center (similar to the Atari logo!). This may need to be done several times to achieve ideal results with wider diameter vessels such as yours. Once you work out what gives you the most ideal results, the process becomes a lot more simple with repetition :) As for the use of dye for more clarity, I choose not to use any dyes in my candles for personal reasons. I like the sleek look of the natural wax, and I try to avoid any additives/additional ingredients wherever possible. I have been able to produce these same results with larger vessels, and if I get the time in the next few weeks I'd be happy to make a video demonstrating the results I achieve with various vessels. I have my holiday release coming up soon, so I may not find the time at this moment. Thanks for your support!
Thank you so very much for the tip... Will definitely be trying
You're very welcome! Hope it works as well for you as it did for me!
The tip about the air bubbles was so valuable. Thanks so much.
You're very welcome! Glad you enjoyed 😊
I can't imagine how much foil you would go through to continue to do that. I have a hot plate I keep on super low to just to hold a warm temp and I place my candles on there. Maybe it's the wax I use but I can pour them into a cold jar and they are just fine. No tunneling, no sink holes. I wonder why that is....because keeping vessels warm is a very important part of candle making. This is a great idea for anyone having problems I suppose. But just more cost in materials.
Hi, was wondering what would happen after curing is done and you ship it to the customer? Wouldn't it actually be affected by the temperature rise/drop and eventually get wetspots again?
just a question, how is your candle business going as a male candle maker? I have been making and testing for 2 years but worried about launching..
You have just totally inspired me to try this!! Do you print your own labels or have them printed?
Hi Kathy! I'm so glad you feel inspired to try it out! Yes, I print my own labels from home :) Thanks for watching!
However using aluminium carries its own dangers - using heavy metals - so i have ditched my aluminium as there are health hazards with aluminium. But if it works for you - great. Its all about trial and error isnt it.
how the jars not get cold by the time you are actually pouring? seems like well over 5mins from moment you heat the jars till you pour.. :) confused
Can I use this method to fix the wet spots? I’m no expert but I believe my problem is my jars are cooling too fast at room temp? My jars are antique glass milk bottles
This was an awesome tutorial!!! Thanks you for taking the time e to show your process! 🤗
Why do you have to cure for a week?
And I'm about to start my candle business.. Will this work with concrete vessels?
What’s the destruction of the website to go by the device you have for the wick can you put the name down thank you
Hi Carmen, the website for the "EZ Wick Setter" is Candlescience.com!
Thank you
@@carmen8459 of course! Best of luck to you!
Thank you for sharing the video with all the tips and tricks. May i know the ratio of wax to Fragrance oil?
You're welcome, thanks for watching! I typically use a 6%-10% fragrance load depending on the strength of the scent. I highly recommend testing a few percentages to see what works best for you with your specific wax type!
@@glasscitycandlecompany5126 thank you very much!
Cotton balls and tin foil be damned, just wipe the carbon off the wicks with a paper towel. Works every time
I Ed learned a lot from you, thanks. Can you make a video explaining how to do luxury candles?
Is this method efficient when producing in large batches? Thanks so much!
Have you ever shipped out a candle that did not have any wet spots but then once shipped out to the customer receive feedback that it had wet spots? How do you prevent wet spot from forming During the shipping process. Since there are a lot of changes in temperature during the shipping process 1 would believe that they would form prior to this customer receiving it. Any advice?
Thank you so much for this! I’m going to try it. I ended up buying a whole case of soy so the spots on the sides get me from time to time.
You're very welcome, it's my pleasure! I wish you the best of luck :)
What a fantastic tutorial, with great explanations along the way. Thank you very much for sharing the technique! Quick wick sticker question: do you trim the wick stickers to the size of the wick base, and are there concerns about the glue burning? Thanks!
The purpose of using the foil should been mentioned from the start. Like im wondering the whole time and just figure out i guess to control the temp. To avoid wet spots, no bubbles etc
Thanks for your wonderful video. I use your method it works wonders for me.
What temperature you were working with at the moment you recorded this video? Is this for cold weather?
hello enjoyed your video alot.i have such room for improvement. having a issue with fo sinking to bottom.was getting no hot throw nor cold so i stuck my finger almost all the way to the bottom of wax and pulled up this great scent from the bottom. what do you think?
Hi, I wanted to know would it make a difference if I didn’t have a heat gun but still wrapped my containers with tin foil?
Hello! You said you put fragrance in at 175? Does it differ for each fragrance?
I subscribed. But I'm assuming that you use the foil to keep the jars warm.. Do do any colors..
Thanks for subscribing! You are correct, the foil is used to insulate the jars in order to slow down the cooling process to ensure ideal glass adhesion and even cooling throughout the candle. I do not use any dyes unfortunately, but I have heard from a few viewers that this method also works great for preventing frosting!
@@glasscitycandlecompany5126 Awesome my friend cool. I'm a soapmaker, but getting in to CANDLE making very soon..
@@justaddlivingwater very cool! I hope you'll stick around and that I'm able to help in some way :) Best of luck to you!
If I am not using a Presto pot and I am going to use the double broiler method would you go ahead and heat the wax to 195 and then remove from the heat and let stand on the counter to 175 then add the fragrance oil and finish all the other steps as you said (everything else will be the same) I just wanted to be sure you would heat it in the broiler and remove from heat let it cool off on the counter then I have the fragrance oil and everything else will be the same? 🤔
