    The most difficult aspect of candle making is finding the right wick. It can be so frustrating to test many brands, their recommended sizes and the sizes above and below, yet still not be able to find a wick that works as it should.

    • @BlackTieBarn
      @BlackTieBarn  2 года назад

      Wax is opaque so it will of course be a lot lighter when added and cooked in wax. That's normal. Uh can try using more dye but it's only going to get so vibrant because the dye is mixed with wax. I've had good luck with dyes from candle science and natures garden.

    Hey wade. Hope all is well.. let me start by saying that I'm huge fan of your channel because you put out great contents and it helps quite well so I always watched your videos a lot. Here is question. When using dye in my candles, should I wick up one step just to compensate for the the dye? Also, I use ( IGI 6006 wax ) with your premier 765 wick in 3" jar and 760 in 2" 7oz jar. I normally use 4-6 drops of dye in the wax . I realized that I have mushrooms build up in about 1.5-2 hours. But the hot throw is good using these size wicks.
    This IGI 6006 is better than straight paraffin wax because it doesn't give that smoke as paraffin wax gives, so I'm happy using it in my candles. It also gives good colors and little to no sinkhole in a single pour.

On their directions it was stated 1 pound of wax would make 3 jars I got in the kit well…. I measured 1 lb and as it was melting I thought this isn’t enough for one jar.. I added two more lbs and only got two jars.. 🤷‍♀️ it is Soy wax in chip form it didn’t say what kind of soy wax though.. I’m going back to view your video on the formula about measuring of wax before I make more .. you are right I’m addicted.. can’t wait to make more.. waiting a few days before lighting the two I made to see they burn etc…can you say testing?😜as always thanks so much for sharing your wealth of information!!!

      @mellea1316 3 месяца назад

      You're not going to make any money charging lesser prices like that though. You will want to make an actual profit if you plan to sell. Please be sure you are covering your costs of materials including shipping and paying yourself for your work as well. Otherwise you're basically putting in all the work to practically give your product away. Charge too little and you won't break even on the money and time spent to make everything. You'll be overworked and underpaid just like any other job. Don't underestimate the value of what you make just to make the price point more appealing. Not only does it hurt your potential for possibly building a business, it hurts the market of established candle makers in your area if there are any. If you make a good product, no matter what it is, don't sell yourself short. Charge the two to three times more depending on what materials you use and their cost. That's how profit and businesses work. Those prices you want to sell at really seem more for wax melts over candles. Most vessles and the wax itself wouldn't even be covered if you made several for sale let alone the other materials you would need.
