omg I Love this Video! I'm new to the candle world and I use 464 soy wax and I honestly don't want to give up on it because I feel I'm so close to my measurements and steps to a beautifully smelling candle. I made one Tobacco Caramel candle and let it cure for 2 weeks and it smells so good! your video is so much motivation!!
Thanks for the informative video. I haven't started making yet but soon as I am still researching options. I am considering the coconut apricot wax for my candles. Have you ever used it and if so how was it?
Yes I just ordered some problends, im inpatient lol...but I've used 464 and no complaints...just wanna play around and extend my line with some good ol pillars!
For use inside our house we can only use beeswax or soy because of soot irritation. We get lots of mixed blend paraffin candles for the patio cause they are wonderful outside & help keep bugs away.
Hi there, thank you for sharing your knowledge. I am just starting out and wanted to know where would be the best place to purchase my wax and scents? I was purchasing from Amazon and while the scents were amazing, I was not smelling it in the candle when I test. Now I know I need to let the candle cure, thank you for that info.
Im new to candle making, I've made about 100 candles and still can't get a good cold or hot throw. I started with 646 soy which was too difficult l changed to 6006 Para soy. Unfortunately l haven't had to much success with this wax either. I spent a great deal of money on materials and watch numerous video but feel just as lost now as when l first began. I'm melting to 185° and adding FO at as close to 185° as l can possibly get. I stir for nearly 90 sec to get a good mix, and l pour around 150° - 160°. I get the same results every time. A very light cold throw and a slim to none hot throw. I'm gonna take your advice and get my fragrances from Flaming Candle in stead of Candle science. I pray that that helps my fragrances but in the mean time to you have any advice. If so l would be very Thankful and appreciative.
I’m actually editing a video today over my testing phase with problend 600 from flaming candle. I do for all waxes I do heat up to 190-200 and I do add the fo around 190 and I pour at 175-180. Cure two weeks. Ive never used 6006
Okay so we are just now starting out and I've tested some FO's that do not put off a scent so we are going to try letting a tester cure for 2 weeks and see. The scent is so lovely and we definitely would want to include it in our lineup. Thanks for your video!
Not yet! I actually don't use dye so I don't think I can be of help. I don't like dye as I 've had two candles not perform good and actually catch fire during testing phase with dye.
464 is a good wax. I would make sure to heat to 190-195 and add FO then. Pour your wax b/w 175-180. Make sure you are using the right type and size wick.
Your video is definitely helpful I made sure to hit subscribe! Do you have any insight on using fragrance oils vs essentials and can they be blended? Thank you
Hi, thank you for subscribing. You can mix both, I personally don't use bth therefore I wouldn't know how to navigate that part. Using essential oils only is not recommended as essential oils are too soft for the wax and you will not get the HT your candles need.
Candle curing is the process of continuous hardening of wax to disperse fragrance oils evenly throughout the blend. Different wax and fragrance oil combinations may require more or less time to achieve an optimal state
I am a new beginner at this candle making. I use soy wax and cotton wicks. Once my wax reach the hot throw, I pour in my fragrance oil. Stir for 2mins... I let the candles cure over night before burning to test them out and no smell of the fragrance at all. Help, any more tips on what I should do besides switch up the wax
Hot throw is how the candle smells when its burning. For soy candles u need to let it cure for 2 weeks to test the hot throw. Switching Waxes don't make ur candle smell better. It's all about the wick. To choose a wick is based on the diameter of ur jar, and the wax ur using. I suggest doing more research before giving up. You'll figure it out but it takes time and patience.
@@lisetterivera3982hi ur information is very helpful… I have problems with my candles….my family and friends really like my candles but some of them are saying the candles doesn’t diffuse… now I’m using soy wax but don’t know the brand name as it is local and I’m using essential oil and fragrance but very careful…. So what is the problem with my candles and I let them cure 5 days to 2 weeks … it is because of wicks?
@@JROUTT07 okay thankyou! Also do u have any idea how to list the candle price? Like how much I should charge it for like example jar then wick and do we also have to mention oil but no clue as I’m randomly selling at different prices without even mention what im listing…
Hi!! I wanted to start making candles as a hobby. I’ve seen candle makers that measure the wax out when it’s in liquid form. Especially when they have those huge wax melters. Should I measure it in solid form or would you say liquid form is fine too? Also if I measure 1lb of wax and want 10% fragrance..is that about 1.6 oz? Sorry for all of the questions :(. I’m really confused….thank you so much!!
I'm starting on the road to candle making and I'm wondering what is the option for getting started supply wise? I've done the starter kits, now just wondering what a list would be to start testing and prepping for being able to start selling my 1st Candles.
You mentioned percentage with fragrances. What are you referring to when you say percentage of fragrance. Say I have a 4oz or 8oz soy wax candle how did you determine the amount of fragrance to use on each candle?
depending on the wax that you use it will tell you what is the max fo% that your wax will take. For example most waxes you shouldn't add more than 10% fo oil to your candles. My wax holds 10-12% but depending on the fo I add b/w 8-10%
If I’m using soy wax what type of wax do u suggest. Also if I’m using the soy/veggie wax what type of wick do you recommend. Do you ever used wooden wicks?
I’m new to making candles. So I’m a little bit confused. If I’m using soy wax 464 and using fragrance oil and the candle size is an 18oz what kind of wicks and size do you recommend? Help I’m lost? Any other recommendations you have for someone that is very new to this candle making?
Hi thank you for sharing! I use Pro600 for years from TFC I for me is one of the best in the blend group, I believe me I had try them all to be honest I haven’t try The wax from California Candle so I can make a review I should try it but the shipping will kill me I’m in Florida Thank you!!!
Hi! Thanx for sharing your info. I ordered 4 fragrances from Midwest. They smell really weak, so I have not tried. Does it smell stronger once added to wax? I an using 6006. Thanx!
@@Eyeamsandee sooo I had them on the shelf for awhile, I just resmelled them, they do smell stronger than I remember, thanx for mentioning them. Now I'll try. Lol
@@Eyeamsandeemy bad. I use igi6006 and find the Eco works well with some of my fragrances while LX is working for others. Though I recently realized I may need to reduce FO. I'm new to all this. Lol
Hi, I am a newbie to candle making and having such a difficult time with the cold throw. I think I need some major help. Lol. Loved your video. Great information. Thank you. Judy
Hi I am very new to candle making and need some please. I am gonna try problend 600. Jar size 4oz, what size and type of wick do I use? Also at what temp. do I add the fragrance. What does 10% mean in ounces? Thanks in advance. Love your videos! 😇😊
Hello Gorgeous,thank you so much for everything you do for us , Please can you share the link of the fragrances you use or recommend please , thank you 🙏🏽
I’m definitely having trouble getting a strong hot throw from my wax melts I’ve tried so many times but still can’t get it down! I use the soy tart wax from California candle supply
@@Eyeamsandee I melt the wax to 175 , pour my fragrance oil in and then wait for it do go down to 135 . I used 15,16 and 17% fragrance oil but barely any smell. Maybe I need it to cure more ? I waited about 3 days before trying it out or maybe it can be what I’m making them in ? I use silicone molds
Try this and tell me how it goes: heat up to 190 add your fragrance oil then pour at 170. I use a 15% fo. For this tart wax the hotter the more the fragrance oil bonds with wax.

Hello, thanks for the information, can you also do a video on breaking down how much FO to use say like if you wanted to make 20 candles
Are you meaning specifically 20 candles or just the way you break it down? In my video how to make candles I go over the math.
Thanks for the informative video. I haven't started making yet but soon as I am still researching options. I am considering the coconut apricot wax for my candles. Have you ever used it and if so how was it?

Its always good to have a backup wax. :)

Agreed. I have asthma and that’s why I opted for soy.
Very nice jars
Thank you
I'm interested in learning from u. Expand candles business I enjoy your videos

If I’m just statrting with candles how should I be testing my wax for hot throw and how should I know if the problem is the wax or FO?
What is the best type of soy wax to use for scented candles
There are so many different ones that you would need to test and see which wax you like working with the best.
What's the name of the company with a high fragrance scent? Was it flaming candles? Also, how much fragrance do I use for an 8 oz jar?
Thank you ❤
It will all depend on your wax

I have Golden Brand 464 soy wax and FO, is there anything else should i add for a successful scented candle?
464 is a good wax. I would make sure to heat to 190-195 and add FO then. Pour your wax b/w 175-180. Make sure you are using the right type and size wick.
You don’t know how mad I needed this and I loveeeee mildwest I can’t wait for them to add more to they line

What temp should you add essential oils at?
I don’t use essential oils as essential oils will not give you the ht your candles need. They aren’t as concentrated.
How would you know if the wax is not working well
It all depends on what type of results you are getting.
what wick do you like for the problend 600?
