Making candles for a living just crossed my mind and i stumbled across your video. candles and torch been around forever. if the electricity go out people use candles
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.
Im just a normal dude that loves colognes, but after spraying colognes in my room (because i have too many i dont use) im interested in making my own fragrances through candles maybe my own fragrances, this video really helped me out, thank you
Likewise hehe, fragrances are universally considered with some of the nicest aspects of many cultures and certainly linked to some of my favorite memories; I want to discover how to make my own for that very same reason,
Inspiring stuff. I’m also interested in the craft of bookbinding. All I need now is to watch a video on bellfounding, then I'll have the holy trinity of "bell, book *and* candle"!
This video was the all information I didn’t know I needed for making candles that informed me anyway. I definitely feel these tips were very important, not to mention you gave it in 5 minutes 😊👍🏻👍🏻 Thank you for sharing 🕯️🕯️🕯️
Oh wow when you said fragrance oil addiction I felt called out lol😂😂 I am a soap maker and soon will be branching out looking forward to watching your vids!! Ty
Amazing video thank you. My lady is starting up her own business and making candles but we are hitting a small problem with the wax. It continues to crack on top and inside. Is there any tips to fix this problem?
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.
If your candle is not over-priced and is made well, they should sell. Perhaps not as quickly given the current economic situation in many countries, but people still do like the odd treat every now and then. :)
Hi there Wade great overview!! Well I did it I got my kit and follow their directions.. so I do have a question …. 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!!!
The one in the video was from csndle science. But I've started using a new one I love from a small business. Us they have matching wick clips that are amazing. Here is a link. Lots of color options too and great price! nordencandlesupply.com?sca_ref=1972485.DlZFh8FQu5
Hi, Black Tie Barn my name Antonio i live in Australia sorry if late I would like to know when measuring Ounces or Grams as well as Mls are they the same all over the world or do they change from place to place again for disturbing you I Apologise for the time difference, Hoping you help me
The measurements are the same. But different areas of the world use different scales or units of measurement. For example, oz vs grams. But grams are grams.
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.
i appreciate your videos. Most of them cover the candle making part but can you make a video for those of us who would like to know how you do the marketing? for your website, using google seo, etc.. I dont live in the US but it would help me alot to get started. And where are most of your sales from? online website? spotify, etsy, facebook, retailers.
Thank you. I can try but it's really not my strongest point. Lol. I like to bring in others to help with those kind of videos. Most my sales are website and wholesale/private label clients.
Hello brother I'm dying here to start up my candle business please do you organize classes for people who are willing to learn and start up a candle business?
I made one jar candle with wax flower in the middle.. It looked great, it burned well for an hour but after that it tunnelled al by itself.. I didnot extinguish it. It got extinguished by itself.. Why so
I am trying to make beeswax candles, I keep ending up with voids and based on this video I suppose I am just pouring too rough and are making bubbles, though I am also ending up with cracking voids where it is cooling unevenly, I dont think it is from bubbles
I want to make a candle for myself, one little candle, but I don't know if there's any wax alternative that I could possibly have at home, I can't but anything right now😢
Love your videos, Wade! Question for you... how are you doing white in your black labels? Is it white ink and are you printing yourself? Labels seem to be a bottleneck for me these last few months.
Nah that's hard to do yourself. I use a print lab to actually print them. My suggestion is to get samples from various print companies. Then find a style you like and base your design around that. :)
Hi,let's say what if you buy a candle dye in my case a liquid dye[from a candle making supplier] and when you ad it in your wax.... the wax starts to boil.What can I do?
Lol. Yah this was on overview on how to make one. Not product development, testing, sounds, etc. Just the basic steps of making one. Testing is after making. And I have a ton of videos talking about testing, lol. Probably mention it too much... if that's even possibly. Lol
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.
Just what I needed. Length and general Information was perfect. Thank you Sir.
You're welcome
I'm launching my business today and honestly, I couldn't have done it without you. And also your wicks LOL
Thanks Kathleen and good luck!
How is the business?
Hows the candle business going?

There’s so many multi millionaires that only sell candles if you can manage to be successful in selling candles you’re pretty much set for life
An easy and cheap holder for a candle wick is a comb
How does that work ?
You have a link ?
@@tonybryant2243A link? To buy a comb? Lol
@@he11okkartiieLay the comb flat on top of the jar and wedge the wick between a comb bristle.
@@tonybryant2243You need a link to use a comb???😂
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.
I agree. Wicking is the most frustrating for sure
You can make your own!
What brand would you recommend?
And what soak in wax?@@avomitousmass

Hi , what’s the best place to buy jars ? Thanks
There really isn't a best place. So many good ones all over. To save on shipping, finding something local is the best option.
@@BlackTieBarn can you send me a couple of suppliers to find jars ? Thanks
@@liamshahine240 Sure. Candle Science, Lonestar, Natures Garden, Flaming Candle, SKS Bottling, Fillmore Container, Makesy, 1617, Amazon, etc.

Thanks for sharing this video. I've enjoyed very much!
Thank you for your video. My question is where can I buy the jars that you are showing in your video please?
I use several but I think you are referring to 9oz pr medium straight sided jars. Candle science the flaming candle, system bottling, etc.
@@BlackTieBarn Thank you very much. Hopely they shipped to the Netherlands!🤗
I’ll save you 7 minutes. His answer to every candle making question is “it depends” 🎉🎉
Amazing video thank you. My lady is starting up her own business and making candles but we are hitting a small problem with the wax. It continues to crack on top and inside. Is there any tips to fix this problem?
When pouring the wax, make sure there’s no air or when it sets it’ll go all funny!
Thank you so much! Very grateful 🙏
Np problem
An excellent reminder. Thank you
hello. Quick question. What i the additive yo use in your candles? I use a soy/veggie blend. Thank you
Only two o have really used are UV inhibitor if coloring your candles (optional) and vybar for certain wCes, nut usually not needed either.
@@BlackTieBarn Thank you
Thank you so much I’m forever grateful for your info ! 🥰🙏🥳
No problem
Love your content, new subscriber.
Hello can you please guide me in making pillar candles with paraffin wax blend.
absolutely, great content!
Ty!
I do resin and polymer clay and now introducing candle making
Great!
What app or company would you suggest is easiest and best to make labels for your candles? Might have missed it on your videos
What is a good dye to use? Everything I have tried so far fades when it solidifies. I use 6006. TIA
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.

Thank you! Good video as usual! Is it a good time to start selling candles? or wait until the economy gets a bit better? Are people buying?
If your candle is not over-priced and is made well, they should sell. Perhaps not as quickly given the current economic situation in many countries, but people still do like the odd treat every now and then. :)
@@amandag5072 Thank you for your response Amanda! it helps me in making my decision :-)
I wouldn't wait on external factors to be ideal. They never will be. Besides if you can get started now.. it just gets easier. ;)
Thank you for sharing. It was very informative.
This video was perfectly timed with the break in the Johnny Depp trial...............was that planned?
Nope. Lol
Hi,
Can you share the website shown for all the jars please
The website shown in this video was candlescience.com but there are TONS of options
Hi Wade!!! What’s the color stabilizer do you used?
Just uv inhibitor
Why does candle develop sinkhole after candle starts cooling ?

Did you add your dye to your candle jar?
Nope. To the melted wax before putting the candles. :)
@@BlackTieBarn oh! 😂 I was like well that's different, haha. I had to go back and look again lol.
My wooden wicks burn out & the candles don't burn down. What do I do to improve this.
Not sure first vid on candles but off assumption I would say find a different waz mix that melts easier
I am trying to make beeswax candles, I keep ending up with voids and based on this video I suppose I am just pouring too rough and are making bubbles, though I am also ending up with cracking voids where it is cooling unevenly, I dont think it is from bubbles

Wax shouldn't boil. If that's happening I would lower temp or stop using that dye. Never seen thst happen
@@BlackTieBarn Thank you.Kind as always
I'm having trouble with my candle making I keep getting Frost all over the candle what am I doing wrong
Nothing. Sounds like you are using soy wax which is a characteristics of soy. You blend in other waxes to help
Thanks for responding to my question I figured out what I was doing wrong I watched one of your videos how to make candles I had to temperature wrong
Awesomeeee
Ty!
Thanks
I want to get resources for it

Wow thanku so so much
What happened to the testing step!!!!
Other than that is was on target.

What's wrong with using crayons to color the candle? Just curious.
Can I melt a already made candle
Yes, you can. I do it all the time to combine candles
Why mot use regular cotton threads?
I'm not an expert but I've used the wrong wicks and got more of a flamethrower than a candle.
Hello I made my first candle tonight I will see tomorrow how ends lol
How did it go?
Oh.. I was hoping i could do it with candles, perfume and hemp.
Great… thanks
But you did not add Essential oil
Fragrance oil is soooo addictive 🥴🤣😩
🤣🤣 yep
Tremendo cerquillo
True I think all measuring is not really true necessary all this grams or whatever is crazy
Next 5 minutes? Nah, 2x speed. XD
Nah, 2.5x speed. 😂
literally me rn💀
That looked like Peak candle dye.
Nope. Candle.scienxe
I am going to start and I feel like peoples try to triple or quadruple their money by charging to much. Small 5$, med 7$ and larg 10$. Stay tuned.
