The absolute best video I have seen for beginners! Easy to understand and great explanations. Thank you.
The easiest to understand video I’ve seen so far. I’m new to this and the other videos felt like an algebra lesson. Thank you
Thank you! Glad the videos helped out. 🙂
I agree. Most You Tubers don't want to tell you everything step by step.
You’re so right about the algebra lesson!!!!! So glad I didn’t have to take that class while watching this video!!!!
I totally agree with you! 😊
I agree 👍🏽👌🏽
i was JUST getting ready to start my first candle batch eVER (after several weeks/month+ of research) when this popped up on my feed! very straight to the point and clear. exactly what i needed before starting, thank you 🥺
I stated today as well
Thank you I will do it.
The best explained candle making video in the whole RUclips 👌 thank you sir.
OMGGGGG finally someone showed the wick cutting process. I know it seems simple but I was struggling. Thank you! I’ve been doing so much research but had yet to see anyone trimming their wicks.
Thank you so much for the awesome instructions of candle making!!!!!! You could not of made it any easier!!!!! I appreciate all of the tips and tricks!
perfection💖💖💖 im speechless. from the barrel of the bic pen to help with placement, to holding something next to a liquid when it comes out to avoid it spilling on the sides youve helped an OCD woman like me through all the things that frustrated me in my candle batch this evening. We dont deserve you. 💖💖💖 thank you so much
Thanks Jeff my sanity is saved. GW464 was all I could bet hold of ( everyone and his cat has taken up candle making during lockdown ). I have encountered every pitfall you have described.
So glad I watched this.
Best video I’ve seen thank you
Okayyyy good to know! Thanks for the fragrance caculation and wick pen trick!!
This is such a helpful tutorial! I watched and then went and made my first candles. Thank you!
OMG! The best video for beginners! I'm new to this, and have been researching forever...but this, this video!!! Yes!!!! Thank you!
Thank you your video was great. Right to the point! I was intimated with other video's I've watched. I definitely will be making candles in a teacup for a Mother's Day event. Thanks to you.
Very easily explained. Now I’m ready to start
I am starting to learn how to make candles and by far, this video helped me to understand the science of candle making the easiest way. Thanks, i will watch and learn more from you
Thank you soul much !! This was super helpful!!!
Another great video!!! I just switched over to 464 and was in need of a reminder to chill on expecting perfect looking candles everytime. Thank you!
I’ve watched dozens of tutorial videos and yours is by far the best and most informative. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us!
I love your DIY, it’s so easy to follow, I’m new to this candle making & love your videos, your so calm & very punctual in everything, thank you!
Thank you for doing this video. .. much love from dubai
Appreciate your professionally shared expertise. Thank you so much always so very helpful. Mucho Gracias
The pen trick is genius !
Thank You so much, you made it do simple when it came to figuring out how much of the fragrance you need. I your videos
A really helpful video ! Thank you so much, God bless 🤍
Thank you for sharing
Well done!
You're a professional.
Very nice, simple and easy step by step instructions thank you I enjoyed following your instructions hopefully my candle comes out good after it hardened up
Just winged my first 6oz 464 wax candle and it turned out pretty good. Next time I'll try to get more precise with the temperatures and percentages to get to that next level! Thanks.
3-5 days! Got it!
This is very similar to golden wax 494 which is for wax melts - fab Thankyou for this simple yet effective video!
My MIL gifted me some candle wax and with my own knowledge I think it’s either 444 or 464 😂 smells very much like soy 😂
Now wicks is where I’m confused!
I’ll be deffo using the candle science website - Thankyou from the U.K.
Very good info 👈👌
I subscribed.. i think your channel is the most clearly explained candle making videos.. thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us... appreciate it much 🌹
Thank you so much. I hope the videos are helping people. 🙂
Love to learn from u ♥️ so infotainment
Thank you so much for this video. I started out making candles about 2 years ago from a candle kit I brought from Amazon. The kit was easy to follow and the instructions manual came with color pics. I now have stopped making candles for a while now because of fragrance not really releasing, the wick moving from the center when I poured the hot wax and the holes and uneven wax with the finished product. The manual never explained half of what you just said. I am actually excited again to make candle again. Thank you for your insight, tips, and knowledge; I appreciate you 🙏.
You are greatly appreciated!
I’ve learned so much in the first 5 min. I’m hooked!! Thanks for all of your expertise 🙏🏾
Amazing Video!
The most helpful video I have found on candles
This is pretty cool i would like to do this👍
this was very helpful and informative!
Very clear and helpful.
You are very informative. I am a beginner
AWESOME TUTORIAL!!!
Thank you!
Very informative and helpful.. 👍🇬🇧
Yeahhhhh!! Thank you for sharing this wonderful information. It was helpful!!
I agree. Very easy to follow
Thank you . The best candle making video ever 💯
Thank you!!
Thank you so much for this video sir!
Bro., I gotta give you your props! The gasket maker suggestion is off the charts! I will definitely use it! THANKS! As a chef, I've accumulated cases of glasses that I need to get rid of and candles are the best way to do it and make a profit in the process. Thanks!
Good explanation, thank you
Explained everything so simply thank you
Thank you! It's so hard to film this detailed kind of video, I really appreciate you taking the time to do it!!! I pretty much use all the same products so the tips and tricks are helpful - esp. the fragrance pour metal stick trick!!!! THANKS :)
This was very helpful. Thank you 🙏🏿
This was awesome thank you so much, so informative. thank you so much
Thank you for doing this video on the 444. I was literally going to ask you to do one since it's hard to find any info on a 444 wax, which is what I started with. I use 12% FO, but have wondered if dropping it would still give me the crazy HT I get. I'll be trying the 10% now. Thank you!
If you don’t life what wicks do you use?
Grateful for this. Very informative!
Thank you for your video! It helps me alot
What is a safe wait time for the gasket glue to dry before pouring? Thanks for sharing all your valuable insights!
Lots of good info! I learned a lot. Thank you!
Hi! Thank you for your videos. They are great. I so so so wish I could do this!!!!!
Great detailed video! Thank you 🙂
Thank you for this video.
I am still learning....
You used a lot of different wicks, but noticed ECO was not one of them. That’s what I’ve used for years but thinking about switching perhaps to CD wicks. Hoping for better hot throw. Thanks for this video.
This was so helpful and informative. Thank you for sharing
Love this video!
What color dye do you use .. I love the fact you do t have to use much to get such beautiful pastel colors
Very helpful, thank you so much!
Hi, just wanted to thank you for your videos. I want to start my own business of making candles. Yes I love candles, spend way to much on the, I never thought of making them low and be hold I find your videos and I am pumped to start the business. I will be investing in the next month and do this, I will be buying my first kit this weekend to attempt to make candles for my home, if this works I am going to do a business. Thank you so much for the awesome videos showing me this can work
Great video! What wick ended up working best for the 464? Thank you!
Thank you for this! I think I've been adding my fragrance and pouring my wax at too low of temperatures.🤦♀️ I will be trying your way, this weekend. 🤗
Thank you!😊
Excellent, thank you
Hi Jeff, what did you find in testing those 6 wicks? Did some outperform others? Curious to know which had the best HT. Thanks - you're amazing!!
I’m so glad I came across your videos! I use 464 soy wax, I’m just starting and my issue is figuring out how much wax to use to fill a certain amount of jars. And the correct wick size.
On adding up your wax say u have 4 8ounce candle jars you take 4 for the amount of jars times it by the amount of ounce each jar holds which is 8 and divide by 20 that gives u the amount of wax. Hope that helps.
There’s a app for that called candle calculator. It tells you how much wax you need based on the water weight. It really helps cause it gives you an exact amount
I like this ❤️❤️💝💝💝💝
Great vid thank you.
I’ve been pouring my scent at 49 degrees and pouring it straight after. When I burn my candles it’s fine.. but everyone seems to be pouring their scent and pouring into the jar at a much higher temperature.
You mentioned in a previous video pouring at a lower temperature 110-115 to eliminate fragrance oil burning off, I noticed you didn’t do it in this video. Does that not matter anymore?
I was going to ask the same thing, Vanessa... I’m interested to know as well, Jeff 🙂
If The pouring temp is to high is can cause dimples on the top of your candle. There is a different temp to when it is time to add oil so it doesn't burn off.

I am also interested. I ve seen also in the book that the FO can be added anywhere starting from 82 degrees Celsius. However, what is the optimal temperature so that it blends properly with the wax and the FO does not burn off?
Thank you for this video. I just recently started making soy candles again and switched to 464, i burned the next day and had zero scent. I have some curing now and i will try them after that to see where to go from here. If they dont give me the ht i want i may be switching to the parasoy blend you love.
Your videos are SO appreciated!! I haven't been making candles due to health issues but I'm really hoping I can get started once again. My main issue is wicking. I got so frustrated. Always had good hot throw but the wicks . . . Tarts are great though. I'm not giving up!! 😑
Thank you.
Great video! Thank you 😊
Great video. Can you remove the wick tab when the candle is done and reuse the jar?
Helpful video as always! Wanted to ask why GW soy 464/444 is much more popular compared to GW soy 415, are there significant pros for container candles with 464/444?
I use 415 and I’m also really wondering the difference.
@@CarlaCatWhat ok so I’ve tried out the 464 and it is significantly easier to work with! 415 is incredibly fussy and you almost always need a heat gun for smooth tops ( if anyone’s had a different experience plz let me know that the secret is) also the 444 I tried out today and it’s my favourite one of them all now, I made 12 candles w different fragrances and all were smooth tops!!
Thank you so much!!
I want to use woodwicks so which wax would be best to use these and what jar size is best for woodwicks? Thank you for your videos!
😊
I literally am burning my test candles right now and I can't get any scent throw. They are 464 wax candles with around 9% oil and CD wicks for my lavender and my Japanese cherry blossom candles. I had added my fragrance at 185 and 170 respectively, and I poured at 135 for both. I guess next time I will try to add at a lower temp and hope it works! I've been taking notes to try to figure out what works best for these, but my florals are struggling. Thank you for making this video! It gives me hope that one day I'll make a good candle lol.
How long did you cure them?
@@chandrawhite7904 7 days
I use the same wax with 8% FO and my hot throw is pretty good I start pouring the FO at 180 deg. And mix for a while then pour into jar at 135 deg and the HT is amazing! Legit fills my entire apt
@@susanfernandez09 Thank you so much! I will try 8% FO! I am wondering if it might be the containers I chose, since they can only hold 4.2 oz so my melt pool may not be big enough. I appreciate you sharing your experience and I'll try to troubleshoot some more:)
I live in Australia and we are coming into soon ,so this type of wax is a no no for me lol
I absolutely love watching your videos.. Can you do one for the best vegan way for beginners?
First thank you for the video it’s the best one I’ve seen I do have a question , What if I wanted to mix a oil , is it a combined 2.56 oz or 2.56 each ?
If your cold throw is good but hot throw is bad, how do you fix it? I am using approx 10% fragrance oil with the soy wax. Used both 444 and 464. Also will this wax work for free standing pillar candles or will I need to add something to them like coconut oil or paraffin
I love your video and they are very informative. Where do you got your custom tissue paper from?
Awesome..right on-time video. As for the formula with adding fragrance, how is the.08 factored?
hi . im just starting . im wondering what if u only used essential oils instead of fragrance. My understanding is that essential oils are used in a lower rate.pls correct me if im wrong
Hi! What is best? to pour the FO at 180 or 110 degrees?
Thanking you making this video. It really helps. 😊Would the 444 or 464 wax work for making pillar candles from candle molds? Also, how would you determine how much wax to use if the jars were 3 oz - 4 oz?
Such great tips. What temp did you put your heat gun on?
Hey nice video. Very useful. I absolutely love the candle holder in the thumbnail. Where did you purchase them?
