    lol My daughter was correct when stating the percentages of the wax! Parasoy is 70% paraffin and 30% soy.

      Next video you make apologies to her lol She did an excellent job, but i highly suggest getting a crock pot to melt your wax gas stove should never be use to heat up such things as candles. Thanks for sharing.

      Gas stove is ok when using the double boiler method. Direct heat to the pitcher is definitely something to avoid.

    Hello, I work with a 70% beeswax-30% coconut oil blend and have had a hard time with sinkhole and tunnelling well burning. Your tutorial was fantastic! I add essential oil’s to my candles and fix them with a heat gun after. I’ve always had trouble with the scent not being present after they were cured. But what you said about using the heat gun and killing the fragrance totally makes sense! So thank you!

    Omg thank you so much for this!! Since quarantine I’m not even joking I perfected hair braiding, polygel nails, dip nails, tips and acrylics and now I just wen on amazon and spent so much on soy wax and parasoy along with everything to go with it!’ This all started Bc I wanted a bath and body twisted peppermint candle bc it’s my favorite thing ever. It truly helps clear my migraines and just overall I love it. So I ended up here. And amazon lol!! Thank you so much for this help!!

    Hi there! For the past few weeks I've learned everything about candle making that was available in my mother language portuguese, (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil here). Then I questioned myself "why not try something different?", and ended up here. You both took it all to another level! Thank you so much for sharing this video. I will soon look into all your videos! By far the best indeed! and you're gorgeous to watch =*

    I used to have a candle and bath and body business as an extra but had to give it up for our much larger family business (machine shop). Here’s a easier method: get a Presto kitchen Kettle. Drill a hole In it- get some pipe and on and off spout. My husband did that for me and we kept the thing full with wax. We had 4 of them for the different variety of waxes. Just heat on low so as not to burn it but it doesn’t have to be watched constantly. Put the lid on when cool and store away. It saved so much time. I do it for fun now and am teaching my granddaughters. We had a “lab” that we built inside our machine shop just for my bath and body business but had to close for lack of time and my daughters who were my partners had 5 kids in four years. I still have that “lab” and expanded it for my sewing also. It’s pure fun now but I had tons of supplies left. Soap, sugar scrubs and my famous body cream is my favorite thing to make. I refused to sell my recipes to interested parties when I closed and will teach my grand girls (4 of them). Have fun.

    I guess there are 612 candle makers that are just mad that you have made an awesome video to show other people how to make their own candles or even make candles to sell. again great video!! do you have a list of what you would consider the top five cand le oils that are high quality and have a wonderful aroma? there are so many bad smelling candles out there that I just wonder how they even sell.

    This was AMAZING!!!! I am shocked at how much scent oil needs to go in 16 ounces of wax! That means if a Bath & Body works candle is 14.5 ounces, the there is almost a whole vial of scent oil in just that one candle!! 😳
    Going to take a look at your website now. Looking for a strong coffee scent that doesn't smell like stale coffee and farts like Bath & Body Works only coffee scent does. Also looking for a rich, buttery, pancake and authentic sticky sweet maple syrup scent. 🥞
