There is 1kg of wax and 100g of fragrance in their kits and you use it all together so its 10g of fragrance to every 100g of wax. Same for most soy wax it can hold up to 10% of fragrance for maximum scent throw. :)
hello Candle Shack Ltd How are you? when you make candle making can you able to use Stoneware (canister), rubberwood (lid) and silicone (ring) container is it safe for candle making? because when i see candle in store look like this
hi i noticed you didn't use the double boiler method you just melted it straight from the hot plate at what temp in degrees celcius did u do this? and also was just wondering what is a good room temp for making candles as i live in a very cold climate and my candles haven't been turning out that great they have frosted and or sometimes i get sink holes im using ecosoya cb advanced soy wax please any help would be much appreciated thanks
Quite often you get sink holes because the wax has been poured too hot. If you let it cool more before pouring it should reduce this. In turn you can top up the holes with more of the wax mix or use a heat gun to re melt the top of the candle and fill the hole. If you do this however be careful not to get too close to the candle as you can burn the scent off the top, meaning if your customer went to smell the candle the scent will be gone.
Some videos said wax should be at 80c or even 90 c melt and add fragrance at 70c. Very confusing informations for beginners. Now I will try your way 65c. Thanks
1kg of wax used and 100g of fragrance. I checked their kits online. Most soy wax holds 10% fragrance so 10g to every 100g of wax will give a strong fragrance. She added the fragrance at 65c and poured straight away. I make wax melts but I usually heat to 70 to make sure its all melted then at 65 add any colour / dye then add the fragrance and pour dont let it cool below 60 as starts to cool so makes it harder.
No absolutely not!! A double boiler helps keep the wax away from the original heat source. If you put the wax straight on a heat source you have the possibility of burning your wax, and not heating it slowly enough or thoroughly.
this video is not that informative with reference to quantity of wax and ratio of fragrance to that wax, wick size for the container, it was not a double boiler which I believe is needed for melting wax. Nice video showing how easy it is but there is info missing
GMO'S. pesticides and efiminizing plant Estrogens, but soy is natural and good for the Planet right? Isn't it, right? I am not feeling very safe right now.
can I use essential oil for fragrance? And if so, how would you determine the amount %? Thanks for any help
Wow nice and easy. Thanks for sharing.
hi. what is the material of the candle wick supporter? how can wick burn with this suport?
Could have said more about the % of fragrance to wax used and temperatures for adding and pouring.

The pot she used was a double boil pot they have a double wall where water is heated in between .

Pour slowly? Looks pretty fast to me.

Can you tell me what's the wax quantity and fragrance used? Thx
Very good video, what was the fragrance and what does it smell of please ?
Not very accurate video. Lots of information missing.. for instance quantity of wax used and oil fragrance ratio, mixing temperature etc

Can you just melt the wax staright in any pan?
