I don’t recall! I looked in my account, and for some reason it isn’t showing as a previous purchased item. But, either generation works!

Hello, So when wax cools down, it contracts. Also, the concrete cools at a different temperature. There is no way around that, which I why I use a heating gun to heat the top once the candle solidifies. This is needed for only aesthetic purposes. It doesn’t seem to affect the candle itself or the way it burns. Side note- That won’t be the only time you will see that, either. It will continue to do that after a month or of sitting there. Kind of annoying, but completely normal! 👍🏻

Hey! So, TD always works well for me. So, I’m thinking maybe it’s a percentage issue. Have you tried working with different amounts? Also, it might be just you overthinking. At times, I find that I am too critical on myself. So, remember to take it easy on yourself! 🙂

No need to be sorry! Good question. I do not bathe my vessels. I’ve never had cracking issues, and that’s what people typically will do it for. It is not something you have to do, I have found 🙂

@evenifcandlecompany thank you for answering so quick x

Cement all rapid dry. You can find it at Home Depot! 👍🏻

This digiboil is designated only for my candles. So, yes I just leave wax in there. It’s never empty.

Hello, At time stamp 15:35 I cover that. You want to wait until it's not warm, it takes about 3-4 hrs. But that depends on your environment, as well.

@@evenifcandlecompany I caught that part. I was making vessels from your videos and I don’t know what I did wrong. My vessels are cracked and cold as I unmolded them.

@@shakaramitchell6026bummer! You might be using too much water in your mixture or not having it dry in a proper space. I’m not sure why else that would occur. Hope that helps you out, and you can figure it out!

@@evenifcandlecompany I think I probably did. I was making multiples and It dried up super fast when I was adding the mixture to the mold, so I kept adding water to it. More than likely I made a bad batch. Any tips on what to do about it drying up before I’m done pouring the mixture? Thank you for helping and actually responding.

@@shakaramitchell6026I would make smaller batches. You can pour them faster and mix them better, leading to more consistency in your vessels. It’s time consuming, but will end up being worth it.

In my experience, it causes spots if you use non filtered water. But see how it works for you first, from your tap. It could be totally fine where you live.

I have that separated from the candle making video! Here you go! Hope this helps 👍🏻 How To Make A Concrete Vessel (UPDATED) th-cam.com/video/LpIn02HMnt0/w-d-xo.html

I haven’t watched him, no. But I have heard he is informative! All of my videos are based on experiences and opinions. So, this is just a few reasons for me. I try and be clear and transparent as much as possible 👍🏻 Thanks for your support and service! Yes, my Husband is a Marine, 16 years, so far. Proud wife! Thanks again, Brit

This was a video from a while ago, since then I have gotten new products such as silicone mats and such, to help with this. I don’t plan on making concrete vessels much, anymore. But thank you for your help! 😀

You are so welcome! Glad I could help! 😀🕯️

Hello and welcome 🙂

Not weird! I like it depending how many are showing. But most customers (wholesale) do not want those in a vessel. At a pop up event, it’s more acceptable I’ve experienced.

I use Coco 84 Wax. Wicks Vary! But I've had success with CD, CDN series. You will have to see what works best for you! Thanks so much for your support! Happy making :)

It all varies with the size and environment. Wait until your mold is no longer warm to remove. All of this info on everything concrete related is on my how to make concrete vessels videos and how to make concrete candles . 👍🏻

Sorry! I understand it can be discouraging to hear cons. I try to be as transparent as possible on this channel. There are pros and cons to anything. Continue to do what makes you happy in this craft and feels best! Good luck and thanks for watching!

I buy it from a few places. But Midwest fragrance co, flaming candle and Candle science are my typical places 👍🏻

@@evenifcandlecompany Is there a special place you recommend?

@@גילי-צ4ח All that I mentioned are recommended! :)

I appreciate that. Thank you for watching!

Of course 🙂

Yes! I didn’t know that for the longest time. I’m sorry that happened to you. Can be so frustrating. Are you making vessels anymore?

@@evenifcandlecompany yes but I have switched over to Hydro-stone

@@evenifcandlecompany hydrostone ROCKS!!! It’s all I use for my handmade candle jars.

Thank you!

Thank you for watching. I will have to look into your suggestions.

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching 🙂

Thank you for the support!

I feel that it worked out fine. I tapped the appropriate amount of times for the thin consistency. I had to move the thicker one around more, since it started thickening much more due to talking in the video. But, most people who pour thin, don’t pour and tap a bunch. It almost defeats their purpose of doing it quickly. But anyways, it’s fun to figure it out! Thanks for the comment, and I’m glad you found it interesting!

It depends on where you are located. I have really hard water, where I am, so I use my RO system. You can buy distilled water, too. I tried faucet, and it created a lot of water spots on my vessels. I would try your faucet water and test it out. It might work out for you

I’m wondering if you have had any issues with your vessels being wet? Just trying to see if there is another issue that’s going on. 👍🏻 I’m not sure why you would leave it in for a few days, because they actually don’t fully dry in the mold, also the expansion that occurs will cause issues for your molds. Let me know if I can help more 🙂

It’s on the mold itself! Custom molds are an option for some companies. I am changing the company I have used because the quality lacks. Or else I would recommend them. Canadian silicone molds does it and I’m considering switching to them.

Yes. That’s in another video. I use earthsafe sealant! earthsafefinishes.com

So if you go on a color on the direct colors website each will have data sheets in a pdf drop down on the bottom , you will see what is and what isn’t iron oxide. Typically the red, black and yellows are. But here is a link to look into it further details directcolors.com/mm5/safety-data-sheet/Pigment%20102%20SDS.pdf

Hey! I’ve never had any issues regarding leaks. If I replaced anything, I would’ve mentioned it. I’m sure it’s different for others. Thankfully not the case as of yet. 😀

I am going to be putting a video out on Friday or Saturday about pigments. Stay tuned!

You're welcome!

Hello Tina! Thank you for your kind words. It means a lot. Of course I can share. Here are a few staple pigments I get on DC. I used to get a bunch, but I've decided using less is best for me, when it comes to options I offer. Titanium Dioxide Pigment Shade: "Smokestack" Pigment Shade: "Olive Tree" Color: 122 (1880)- Which is a reddish tone Have fun with them! I love to mix and create other colors.

Hello Tracy. Due to all the testing and tears and time that came into testing a wick, I would rather not share that. I might in the future. Also, it probably wouldn’t work for you anyways, because I have tried other recommendations and none of them panned out for me. So I decided to keep that info out of my videos. Thanks for your understanding. 🤍🙂

You’re welcome! They are only water resistant if you use a sealant. And yes, I’m sure you could use it for planters. I know there are a lot of molds for planters out there. People use my vessels as planters, once candle is finished, as well. 👍🏻

So glad this video was helpful for you! Nice to see a soap maker finding information from my channel, too! Let me know if you get one and how it goes for you! Thanks for the kind words. - Brit

Hey! I use grey base for pigments. I could tape it, but it would still crease and fold at times. So, let’s just say I’m no longer using that paper for this process 🤣

Thanks very much.

I get cementall. It’s a natural color

I’ve never had water float at the top before, so I’m not sure why that occurred. Maybe it’s due to you not using distilled water, or possibly using too much water and not mixing well enough.

So glad these videos are helping you, Ginny! 🤍 They are fun to make, but a lot of work, so I’m glad you enjoy these. He’s quite the husband! Thanks for your support! Much love-Brit

Thank you so much 😀

Hi Ginny! I appreciate that, so kind. I’m assuming you mean Earth Safe? If so, they ship all over the world. 👍🏻🌎

I use isopropyl alcohol with shop paper towels. It’s a messy craft lol, so I do replace them after a good amount of use.

Hope it helps you out! Thanks for watching 🙂

Hi Sue! Many people have asked about that, so I will be putting one out soon!
