This ended up being more informational and helpful about the candle making process. I feel like I had gotten more out of this video than the small business videos I researched.
Truly enjoyed your explanation of different waxes! Very interesting. Will love to subscribe! Also wax melts are my preferred! Candles just don't do it for me! The smell of the wick is all that leaves an odor! Again I am subscribed and thank you for your explanation!!! 😊❤
I haven't done much testing with Accu-Soy10 but you can blend soy and paraffin container waxes for sure! You could start testing with a 50/50 blend but this can sometimes make wicking a bit more difficult so I like to favor one wax over the other and adjust from there.
Because the BW 921 is a pillar wax and pillar waxes are meant to shrink, if you pour it into a jar it will shrink away from the sides of the jar and rattle around a bit. You can try doing a second pour to fill in the gaps but it still may not burn well in a container.
I'm using 464 soy wax but still struggle with slightly uneven tops/craters. I've heated to 185, and tested the pour at 120, 130, 150, and 170. 170 seems to be best for some reason (not sure if high altitude dry climate has something to do with it). I just want a smooth pour...which I'm sure everyone wants but I just wonder what I'm missing here :x I'm wondering if it's my fragrance oil (haven't tried a pour without it yet), only using one teaspoon for an 8oz jar
It can be used to make scented candles, yes! I wouldn't be able to provide instructions unfortunately, because due to sustainability issues, we no longer carry it. You can find some more information here: www.candlescience.com/learning/the-problem-with-palm-wax/
For intricate or delicate molds I like the IGI 6028 or beeswax but you can see all the waxes good for molds here: www.candlescience.com/learning/wax-guide/
Pillar waxes are meant to shrink a bit as they cool so they release well from molds. If you pour pillar wax into a jar it will likely shrink away from the sides and become loose. You could try a few more pours of wax to fill it in but by nature pillar wax is not meant to adhere well to containers.
The BW 910 is a great container wax and is a blend of paraffin and soy waxes! For more information on how it looks and performs, check out the Lab Notes here: www.candlescience.com/lab-notes-blended-waxes-paraffin-soy-wax-bw-910/

Awesome! Thank you! Wax melts are a great way to scent a space without worrying about the flame of a candle, it's no wonder they are so popular. 🧡
So I could I use soy wax for container candles and add dye and fragrance? And could I use paraffin wax for the other candle?
very informative. Thanks!
Always happy to help!
What type of wax candle is best for painting on the candle?
Can I mix accu-soy10 to IGI 4627 to get good Hot throw?

Can I use blended pillar wax bw 921 for a container candle? What will happen?

Can you explain about palm wax? It is can use for wax scent or candle?

@@candlescience thanks! 👍
For silicon rose mold what wax must i mix??

Is it ok to use pillar wax in containers?
Pillar waxes are meant to shrink a bit as they cool so they release well from molds. If you pour pillar wax into a jar it will likely shrink away from the sides and become loose. You could try a few more pours of wax to fill it in but by nature pillar wax is not meant to adhere well to containers.
@@candlescience got it, but from a scent performance aspect it still ok?
What about the BW 910 paraffin wax
The BW 910 is a great container wax and is a blend of paraffin and soy waxes! For more information on how it looks and performs, check out the Lab Notes here: www.candlescience.com/lab-notes-blended-waxes-paraffin-soy-wax-bw-910/
