Galveston Candle Company Thank you!
Thank you for making such a clear and informative video. I’ve been making candles for years and never thought of using the inside of a pen to press down the wicks. That is such a great idea😊
Lisa Mas Thank you! The pen casing works so well I love it. Lol
Thank you so much for your vids. I'm starting on my candle biz journey & you have become a guide. Peace & Bliss 💜✨
as someone who is about start making candles again after not having much time to do so in recent years, I gotta say that this video is very helpful…and obviously kitty approves 😋😎
I know this is 2 years old but I love to watch your videos, very informative! Thank you so much!
Thank you for watching them. 😁
You have been such an amazing help!!! I started making candles and it was just horrid, after I started watching your videos we got so much better results!! But we are still struggling a bit. 😔 But we will get there. So thank you, thank you!!
SUPER DUPER helpful. I will be purchasing the GB 464 and some MANLY' fragrances for myself. Ironically I already have the thermometer and other main kitchen stuff.
Thank you for such a great video. I believe Ive been adding my FO and pouring at a high temperature, I will try your temperature and see if that makes a difference to my candles.
Great video, thanks so much! I made my temp. adjustments like you recommended and have excellent results.
That's awesome, thank you for watching! :)
Love your reaction to the cat.
I love your videos and learn a lot from them 👍thank you for sharing.
Love your videos I have watched them over and over and over. I made my first batch of 6006 the other day while watching your video and they came out awesome..you are always very clear and precise. Thank you for taking the time to share what you've mastered as most people wouldn't. You rock☺

Omg best video I was wondering why my candles did not smell now I know
Thank you so very much for this video! It helped me a lot - very specific and clear info - and I can't wait to make my very first soy candles tomorrow, yay!!!
Great informative video. Thank you for taking the time to share
senor standley usted es una persona muy generosa por ensennar todo lo que sabe gracias un millon que DIOS lede larga salud y larga vida
You are an awesome teacher
Great video! Amazing tips! Thanks💖
Thank you!
👍thank you, good info. So that’s why our soy candles don’t give off much scent. We need to burn them hotter with dif wicks. We make them just for us & we burn them only in the kitchen sink for safety. We’ve reheated the leftover wax so many times it gets dirty looking so we add a few coffee beans & it looks like it’s on purpose plus smells good.
Thank you, Great video, lots of good information.💕
Im going to be purchasing the presto melting pot! Love your videos, hoping i can accomplish making some candles soon!
Anna Stamper The presto pots make such a huge difference. Can’t wait to see what you make. 🙂
Thanks for the tips! Really helpful. I found out soft fragrances don't burn well as you mentioned👍 Now I need to try the wick you've mentioned. Thanks again!!
Mary K Tha k you for watching. I hope the new wick helps. 🙂
Absolutely love your channel. Very informative. I was wondering how many fragrance selections are good for a beginner and also do you just use a day of the week to make and replenish your stock or do you continually make candles? A little bit overwhelmed with orders and I’m trying to streamline my process a little bit....Thanks !
i watched them so far very good
Thank you for this video. I'm new to working with wax and I suck at it so far. I'm working with the GB 416 wax, because I'm making melts. Everything you don't want to happen has been happening. The hot throw is almost nonexistent, the tops are lumpy, it frosts horribly and it doesn't release from the clamshells without a struggle. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I'm adding my fragrance (10%) at about 183, stirring for 2 or 3 minutes and pouring between 135 and 165. I started pouring at 145 and I've adjusted up and down trying to find the right temp.My room temperature is always right around 72ish. I want so badly to figure this out, but man its a lot harder than I anticipated. Also I had no clue about the fragrance oil eating through things. I measured out and separated my oil into small dixie cups earlier and within just a couple minutes it was all over my counter. I was so confused, lol.
I've been watching for awhile now. You explain things so clearly and complicated. I really enjoy watching your ideas over and over again. I have to ask a lot of people say to warm up the containers first. Will that name a big difference if I do or do not warm the containers.
Thank you very much. 😃
I don’t warm my jars. It can make a difference but not enough for me to overlook the extra time that it takes to warm them.
Very informative. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for a great tutorial.
When you first started out, how much were you selling your candles for?
Very clear information. Thank you
Fantastic video! Thank you
Very informative video!! Thank you
Very glad I found your super informative video! This is pretty much exactly what I was looking for! I am wanting to start my own candle making business and am about to order different wicks to test with my GB 464 Soy Wax in 8oz apothecary jars all from Candle Science. I do have a question though - When testing out different wicks in the same size jar with the same wax, will different fragrances & liquid dyes change the way the candle burns? Thanks so much for you're incredibly helpful tutorial!
Please teach more on coloring. Thank you. You teach well.
Wondering if you have used stearin (stearic acid) in parrafin for pillars? I read that it has major advantages. Your vids are great by the way
Thank you very much for your videos!
Thank you for showing this. One of my favorite things to do is to make candles. I learned some new things in this video like certain fragrance oils do better in soy. One question though. I find it hard to clean out the container. Any easy tricks? Thanks so much. Loved this video!
The best way I have found is to pour a little hotter so the wax can be wiped out immediately with a paper towel then washed with hot soapy water.
Hi Jeff! I've been watching your vlogs for a month now and I would like to thank you for your advices and for sharing your knowledge in candle making. I am now starting my candle making journey and testing candles for my business soon. Keep posting amazing videos and inspiring people. ☺️☺️
Btw, is it really true that adding coconut oil in soy candles can give you good HT?
Thanks for the great video. This is the best one I've seen. I want to try that wax now. I use a eco soy wax and that makes so much sense that adding the fragrance when it's too hot will burn it off. Can you recommend a pine scent? I tried making a candle with pine essential oil and even though I put a ton in the smell was extremely weak.
Kimberly and Emylia 464 is a great wax. I’d go for the blue spruce or the fit scent from Candle a Science, they’re really nice and strong. You’ll never get super strong smelling candles from essential oils, they just don’t throw as strong as fragrance oils. 🙂
I too love your videos, they are filled with such great information. However, I am so confused on the temperature in which to add the FO...so many say add at 185 or the FO wont bind with your wax. Please help! Thanks so much for sharing.
Hey thanks so much for this informative and super helpful video! I had a question for you, with the ones that you used with the wood wick, did you find it burned well? My father recently passed and I am making candles for my family to burn in his memory. I want them to burn beautifully, and he used to buy woodwick candles so this is exactly what I’m hoping to recreate. Would love to hear how it worked for you (or anyone in the comments!). Thanks so much for helping this come to fruition. Much love.
I'm just getting into candle making and I have the actual making process down to the T. It's the scents. I started with essential oils aromatherapy (BIG MISTAKE) I brought some strong scents which left my sinuses all messed up making my room feel stuffy as I couldn't breathe. I'm about to switch over to regular fragrance with a more softer smell.
This video was so great! Thanks for all the tips. I am new to candle making, and I cant seem to get my soy candles to have any hot throw! I have been using C-3 soy wax from the flaming candle company which seems to handle great. I also have been using fragrance oils from new directions aromatics, which say they are good for candle use but don''t say soy specifically. I am unsure if it is the fragrance oil I am using or if I am not using the right ratio, I was wondering what your wax to fragrance ratio is typically, and if you have any tips for me?Thanks so so much in advance!!!
Amazing video! How do you avoid getting wet spots? Thanks!
Great video!
Always awesome. Thnkxx for the cool paper what u have made for me. With my name.
Thank you for watching and you're welcome! :)
Love your videos
Thank you!
This is such a great video n appreciate your detailed information. I have been afraid to make candles for years even tho I have made tarts for years. I’m. Not intimidated anymore. Thank you. Have you found that some fragrance oils are watered down? Some of the companies I’ve tried have terrible fragrance throw n seem very watered down but others are thicker n more like oil. Any company recommendations for scents? God bless
Will adding fo at such low temperatures work with nature wax c-3. Could you do some experimenting with c-3 as so many people use it. I'm using c-3 and i'm verry hapoy with looks but can't get a strong throw.
Thanks and love your videos
When you begin pouring your first candles as a beginner, should the 8 oz jelly jar be used? Thank you in advance, Jeff! All newby 💗 to you.
I love this video for making soy candles... I’m really interested in using essential oils instead of fragrance oils... what’s your opinion?
Hey! thank you so much for this information. I was wondering how you created your logo and what website do you think is best for creating the labels for the candles?
Hi, I have been watching a lot of your videos. Your my go-to video when it comes to candle making .... what’s the difference between Soy 464 and 415.... thank you for your anticipated response ....
I want to make wooden wick soy candles but I love florals!floral! Since they do t hold well should I just add a little more frangrance?
Hi Jeff, thank you so much for your videos, they are great! I have a question, I am testing my jars to see how much exactly wax & FO to put in each jar. I did all the formula, and I came out for a 6 oz jar that hols 5.8oz of wax with 10%FO=15 gr of FO and 158gr of wax, but the jar doesn't get full. So, I keep trying to add a little bit of wax and now I just did 160 gr of wax but still not full at the line. What should I do? I am using the same jar you have in the video with the wooden wick ( I think it's the same, Candlescience,Medium Straight Jar. Thank you!!
Hi, I have a quick question! I have watched most of your videos on different wax’s you have used and your reviews. You were right about the 100% soy wax. I have spent a lot of money and can’t see much progress in terms of hot throw. Since I live in England it difficult to get hold of paraffin coconut blend. The only ones that are available are 100% soy, soy coconut blend and soy paraffin blend. Which one can I use for best hot throw?
Love the cat...what a cutie
It's the best tutorial! But if I want to use jars several times, what should I use insted of hot glue?
Яна Галайчук I use RedRTV adhesive. It works great!
Hi sir very informative video! I have a question for you. My surface is uneven and I know heat gun will solve this issue. Do I use the heat gun 4-6 hours into the curing process or it is advisable to wait a week when the candle is harden and then use the heat gun? Thanks!
Hi. Would you suggest the HTP 104 wicks as an all around good wick for 464 wax or Eco?
Love your channel. Question for 1 candle of 8oz jelly jars how much soy wax and fragrance oil should I i use thank you
What size wooden wick would you recommend using in those jars with that wax and would you use a small in para soy
Stanley, cab you please reccomend the best soy wax for pillar candles? Something with a good cold and hot throw
Thanks for sharing with us all this information!
I want to make some candles, but if I put some dried flowers or coffee beans, they can get burnt?
They can, you always want to test things like that if you do end up making them. Any loose materials pose an added risk for fire with candles.
Hi! Can this be done with silicone moulds? I’m planning of selling some on Etsy with fun little shapes. And also, can you put the wax in a plastic measuring container to melt it?
Thanks!
Hi, your videos are so informative
Does it matter if you add your fragrances at a low temperature? Lets say at 130f? Will the fragrance blend in well with the wax?
Also whenever i have made soy wax candles
When they burn for 3 hours, the wax has all become liquidy and it doesnt really look nice when its in a clear jar. Is this supposed to happen with soy wax?
Nice video. Thank you. I have a question from where I will get those bottels?
Thank you so much for creating these videos! You've helped me make my own candle line! I'm wanting to sell in the fall, but hesitant because of insurance costs. Curious if you got insurance when you started selling candles?
Colleen Wells I didn’t get insurance in the beginning and sold to friends, family and coworkers and even some smaller markets.
thank you so much for sharing, I am a new sub to your channel, you are so clear on your instructions. I have the wooden wicks from Lone star, its definitly hit and miss when it cimes to the burn, love the crackle, but sometimes when just dont want to stay lit, have upsized and even douvble wicked, any suggestions? I also purchased wodden wicks from the wooden wick company and thought of trying the tube wick over the HTP.
mamber1974 I really want to try the tube wicks.
I haven’t had any issues with all of the wood wicks I buy from Lone Star. I did get those issues with wood wicks from Aztec. I found cutting them down more they tend to light easier.
Out of all the parasoy waxes you have used this far, which one seems to give off the best hot throw in your trials? I would like to use straight soy wax but they seem to melt a bit while out at farmers markets in the southern heat. The parasoy was a good compromise for me.
I just started watching your videos, great videos!! I have watched many videos and they suggest heating your containers before adding your wax. I am not happy with the appearance of the sides of my containers, i do add color. Could you please share your thoughts on this much frustrating subject?? I am using GB 444.
I am not a fan of heating containers, I just pour at a lower temperature. The main reason people do this is to reduce wet spots (the air bubbles on the sides) in the candles once they're done. You can reduce and sometimes eliminate wet spots by pouring at the lowest possible temperature. They form from the wax shrinking or contracting when cooling. They're tough to get rid of completely and most candle makers just accept them as part of the process.
For your next batch, I would pour at a lower temperature and see if that helps at all.
Thank you!
Super helpful! Just ordered materials to start candle making this weekend. Can I use this wax to make pillar candles?
Bianca Almedina No this does not make good pillar wax. It’s too soft. 🙂
Standley Handcrafted Thanks! Would you recommend EcoSoya 320 or any other?
Hi There thanks for your video, I have been and advance user for 5 years - but see more and more us 464 - I have tested off and on and so far hate how the candle resets after burning, they set like the surface of Mars lumpy, I have been using 10%FO initial pour setting is fine. Any suggestions please.
Ted Boyce I get the same thing with 464. The candle pours nice and flat and after you burn it it has holes everywhere. I haven’t found a good way to prevent it after burning either. I see it more with heavier oils, love spell, cinnamon, spices.
Thanks
Love this video, right to the point! I'm just starting to research candle making, and find your videos very informative. Out of curiosity, do you make Soy Pillar Candles as well?
Thank you and I’m glad they’re helping.
I don’t make any pillar style candles at the moment but may have to test some for videos.
@@StandleyHandcrafted Sounds awesome man! I'm sorry to ask another question, but out of curiosity, how to do you choose a company to purchase fragrance oils from? Is it a lot of trial and error?
@@rockyacrehomestead8825 No problem at all, ask away. I would always recommend the big candle company's and start testing for the ones you like. Candle Science, Natures Garden, Maple Street, Aztec
Hi Stanley! If my jar has a diameter of 3.06 which wick would work (I use the same wax but i'm not sure what a size up is called on the website) thanks!
