    Thank you so much for this series. I have been making candles really testing candles and have not had much success. I’m starting from the beginning with your series. Thank you again!

    Will you go into more details on wax as in the cost comparisons - are some more pricey than others? Would melting temps as in “melt to x degrees” vary per type?

    Hello Erika, I started using Soy 10 but I’m also using coconut soy and pro-blend
    I have noticed that soy 10 gets dirty with what I think it’s wick dust? Lol after burning it whereas I don’t have the issue with the other waxes
    Have you noticed that on your soy OR you can think of something I might be doing wrong?😅

      I have COCONUT Wax i add beeswax (3%) AND FO (8%)
      What is the right formula?

      @@Layanah100 so you would first figure out how much wax and fragrance oil you would need for one candle. And then from there once you know how much wax you need you would just figure out the different percentages from there.
      For example if you find that you need 100 grams of wax and want to do 3% beeswax and 97% coconut wax, you would do 3 g of beeswax and 97 g coconut wax
      If you’re not sure about figuring out how much wax and FO to use, check out my candle math video:

    How does one figure out the meaning of all those numbers she keeps repeating, when referring to the wax?

    • @MemoryBoxCandleCo
      @MemoryBoxCandleCo  Год назад +1

      My apologies for not mentioning! I know this is confusing to a lot of people getting started. It’s just the name of the product. I truly don’t know what the numbers mean, it’s just what the manufacturers decided to call them 😅
      Soy 10, Coconut 83, GB464, etc are all just types of wax and again I’m not sure what the numbers mean either, it’s just in the name 😅
