Love ur channel
Thank you so much!
Love your new studio and furniture.
You could write the name of your fragrances on the paper next to the melt. Would you be able to do a packing video for us?
Awesome video. Can you do a review on Studio Fragrance? Thank you
Yes definitely!
Mr. Stanley I was wondering if you could possibly do a video on IGI R2779A Feather Palm Pillar Wax?
Awesome video as always!
🤣🤣 “my name Jeff” 🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fantastic, tfs🕯
Can we mix beeswax or GB494 with the ig6006 if so what would your suggested ratio be?
Hi have you a link for scents pleas love the video
I would like to know how to get same scent in melts,as in a candle and if you have to use the same wax?
Can you do IGI4826?
Hi! wondering what your thoughts on soy 444 for melts! Also, are you pouring into the shells around 160?
Too soft and they break apart when you try to push them out the clamshell
How did you come up with the percentage of fo you just used?
The wax you use tells you how much oil it is capable of holding. Some wax will hold 6% oil while some will hold 10-12%. His previous videos already went over that. It is all confusing in the beginning but he makes it easy for everyone if watch from his first video. 🙂
u need to turn your music down cannot hear u then i turn you up then music plays and bangs on my eardrums
I have been using this recipe since I opened shop since early 2020 and I tested so many wax melts recipes and i started experimenting with igi 6006 and 4625 and i found a killer recipe using these two together just like you did here and I have to say this recipe by far has been the strongest scent throw and fastest curing wax melt ive ever found so i stuck with it since. I use fragrance oils from Aztec and I use roughly these measurements for each waxes and oils.
I start with igi 4620 roughly 80grams
and then I go all the way up to 454 grams of igi 6006, I melt the wax and let it cool to roughly 165 degrees pour in my fragrance and i use 1.3 oz of fragrance (roughly 8% but you can add more with softer fragrances like cherry blossom and such) and you pour around 150 and you get smooth wax melts with a great scent throw.
I've been following your channel and candle group for a while now and you've been a massive help and i just want to say thanks!
Candle melts is the only thing that kept me in candle making. I am having so many issues, super frustrated. Love candle melts, tons of fun and easier.
YOU'RE SOO AWESOME! I appreciate ALL the info about candle making from home that you've been kind enough to take the time & share with us. A huge THANK YOU and wishing your candle business the FINEST BLESSINGS bcuz you surely deserve more than you've shared. APPLAUD🙏👍👏👏👏👏💖💖
Hi Jeff. Thanks for all this great information. In your opinion, what combo has a stronger HT? 464 with 4625? or, 6006 with 4625? What % of 4625 is best do you think? Thank you for the advice!
Great question! @standleyhomecrafted - have you seen this question?
Hey Jeff, what is the ratio of 6006 to 4625?
Jeff, seriously. your breathing doesn't sound to goo, kind heavy and short breath with hardly no exertion at at, love your videos, retired nurse
I ended up with blood clots last year and now have heart and lung damage which causes that. I’m hoping some of that will get better. It sucks.
Hi Jeff.... where do you put your warning label? I noticed your front label is clear. Also, what goes on the warning label for melts, as opposed to for candles, seeing as how they're different?
I’m trying to find my comments and can’t-it sounds like I did the math incorrectly. Thank you, Jeff, for all you do!
Do you know any companies that have essential oils for anxiety?
Thanks for info about maplestreet clamshell prices! They are cheaper than other that I have ordered from. I always make my melts with soy and paraffin combos makes the best ones I have ever made. I use a 80/20 percentage combo (soy 80% and paraffin 20%)
I was using 60% 4625 do you find a better ht with the amount you used, and was that just 1.6 oz?
This was my question as well. I messaged him, because I’m wondering if using more 6006 would mean you would get more soy out of it and if they would last longer.
Following
Following-tried this method and my HT isn’t good. Not sure-maybe it’s just a subtle scent. I used sea salt and orchid, heated wax (16% 4625 & 84% 6006) to 185, added 11% FO between 170 & 175, and poured. Did them Friday and tested today. I’m very sad. I’ve tried so many methods and a few waxes and just am not getting the HT I would like. It has to be something I’m doing or not doing-wish I could figure it out
Lori Cordell are you sure you are doing the math correctly?
I do a 60/40 blend. 60% being the 4625 and only have to do 8%. Heat to 195, FO at 170, stir a minute and pour
Skylight Candle Co thanks so much!
Idk if I just got a bad batch from lonestar but I purchase 6006 and it doesn’t fail I can’t get a good hot throw to save my life
The last batch of 6006 I bought from lonestar was back in June and it has given the best hot throw I’ve ever got. Yours might be a bad batch. When I’m making candles with the 6006 I put a little more than the 10% recommended. It’s seems to work better for me that way.
Label question. When you use a clear label like that where do you put the warning label? I usually put it in the inside of the lid. Thanks PS this vid literally had 6 ads for me.
Melisa Rechenmacher You can add them under the lid but you will see them.
I’ll check! 😬
You can put them on the bottom, I haven't had any issues doing that.
What printer do u recommend
Your videos are so helpful. Will you be doing a video on snap bars for melts?
I used this same combo of 6006 &4625 but then I experimented with the Golden wax melt & tart along with 6006 and OMG its perfect. Strong CT & HT. Not too hard and not too soft. Great video!!!
I just grabbed a bag of the GB 494. I was thinking of mixing it with the 6006. What's your combo if you don't mind me asking
I was thinking about mixing golden with 6006 for my melts how was the HT and are the melts soft? I made some melts tonight with just 6006 way too soft 🙄...
I'm going to try this, what's your mix %
Where’s the best place to get those waxes
Lol finally! You made of a video of my process. Do you see a difference with adding more 4625 and less FO?
I love this blend, I get a harder melt than straight 6006 and the oil goes up more than if I used 4625
Thank you for all your help and advice along our new journeys!!!
How are the melts when used 6006 and 494?
Which one do you prefer?
Can you do a troubleshooting video for tarts? I have tried my hand at them and I put about 1 ounce fragrance to 1 pound wax and its very weak.
Do you have a conversation chart? How did you do the math on the 11% fragrance oil
Hope you are doing well since your health scare earlier this year? May I ask why you pour all the way up to the edge? I’m still researching melts. TY for your answer.
Thank you so much!
I pour to the edge so the melts are bigger. It’s also the fill line.
Do any of your books show the mathematical teachings in detail?
Some of the calculations and some wicks of
hi, can i ask what temperature you're pouring at ?
Around 170°f
Great job, very informative. 😙🤗
This was great!!! Thank you 😊 do you have any tips for making melts in silicone molds? (Like for samples)
Hi just to to check, will the melts be loosing scents after few times of melting in the burner?
Ty so much for these videos! I watch them over and over as I learn and make mistakes. I'm ordering these waxes today. The 416, 444 and 464 all were too mushy for melts. Without your videos I'd be so lost.
You can get them from any candle supply company. I purchased mine from Candlescience.
Hello ! (my name is Jeff! 😂 )would you ever consider this wax blend for a container candle for shipping in the hotter months?
LOL
I do change up my wax blend a little for certain months. It helps. :)
Omg that intro...🤣🤣
lol
@@StandleyHandcrafted @Standley Handcrafted Jeff, if I made individual cube wax melts, basically the same size as the individual pieces of the Breakaway kind, should I still use 4625 with the 6006 if they are going to be individual pieces? ( not in containers like the tarts)
Thanks for always helping us! My husband and I were just looking at those workbenches today. Keep us updated on how they work, or dont, for you.
Thank you so much for all the information you give us sir. You really inspire me to make candles.
Hey Stanley This Was Good. Learned Alot, Thank You, I Love Fragrance And I Love Wax Melts, Soap Making And Just Body Care And Cosmetics In General. Very Happy I Found This Channel Very Very Helpful. 😀
Is 464 soy wax good for tarts?
Good Morning...is the ratio the same for the large clam shells?
Yes they would be the same. 🙂
What percent of 4625 you add to yours 8oz tin please?
Hello Jeff do u ever use dyes because I was thinking about not to save costs what’s your opinion
Using this recipe, do you think this has better hot throw than pillar of bliss? Do you still use this recipe or have changed?
lmao! "my names jeff"
LOL
@@StandleyHandcrafted I needed that laugh lol it was so random
I always say “my name is Jeff” like that when I see your videos. This was so so funny
😂
Jeff thank you for all your help....quick question what is your scale on meaning Iboz or floz....?
HILARIOUS!! 'My name is Jeff'
Hi, I make melts and use 464, but I have found that some are not as hard as others. I used ecosoya years ago before they changed there recipe and hiked the price. I don't know if maybe it was the fragrance or not, I have some universal soy wax additive that helps hard the wax which I also bought years ago I used to help with votives! Can I use this for my melts and if so how much per pound of 464 wax? Thanks so much, love watching your videos great tips. I make my melts in groups of 3 or 5, but now I'm going to do 7. Thanks again and God bless!
I just started adding wax melts to my inventory my customers love them and they are sooooo much easier than candles. They also smell amazing!
Thank you for sharing so much information with us !
I have been wanting to incorporate wax melts into my candle line but what is a good tart wax to start with
Hey Jeff ❤️
We need more videos! I know that’s selfish we all have lives 😂😕
Is it possible to make wax melts skin safe? So that you can massage the wax/oil on to your skin.
Shoot I use this recipe and I use at least twice to three times the fragrance oil and my tarts last and smell for three days.
So which one gives the stronger throw as a melt? 6006 or 4625, I understand the difference in texture but curious to know which is stronger
Great teaching. Very helpful information. Professional and massively production ideas. Thanks so much for generously sharing your gifted crafting. Mucho Gracias
Thank you for posting this teaching video.
Hi Jeff I’m sorry I missed the pouring temp! I got FO at 175 but what temp do I pour into clam? Thank you so much for your time
I’m loving your videos thanks!! ? What does “one pour” mean? Also, I’m super new and I’m confused on the different waxes you’re using. What do the numbers mean and or do you have a video that only talks about different waxes? TY!
one pour means that you only do one pour. Some waxes shrink and create holes when they harden and some people like to do a second pour.
The different numbers are like amodel number. I will make a video about the different ones. :)
Lol this video is 2 years old, I'm super late....BUT, I started laughing at the part where you say you leave your fragrance oil next to the unlabeled clamshells.....I LIVE BY THIS. lol I always keep the fragrance oil bottle next to whatever project I'm wokring on. I WILL forget what i poured...I DO NOT rely on myself to ALWAYS distinguish the scent as I smell it. I'll be like, "it smells like Cinnamon, but did I add some vanilla to that to test?!?!" Too funny
Lol 😂
I have so many that were never labeled because I forgot what scent it was.
omg the 21 jump street killed me XD
Are these measurements in oz? So 1.6 oz of 4025 wax & 16 oz of 6006?
that was not too clear in the beginning.
Plzzz plzzz tell me the ratio of paraffin soy wax to make parasoy wax
Thanks for sharing your tips.
Have you tried the new wax from Candle science? I got the BW-921 blend but they have another
hi! do you ever make igi 6006 for melts/candles? can you use the tw-30 for candles?
I haven't tried those wicks yet. I will have to get some.
Im new to candle making and am definitely going to try making wax melts, Where do you purchase these two waxes from?
Jeff one more question how did studio fragrances work out? Do recommend this company for fragrances?
Hello 👋 I’m trying to get started making my own wax melts was wanting to know which wax to use and where to get it and where to get the best fragrance oil 😊 thanks so much for your videos
Hey Jeff ,
So do u think that using just 6006 could work for heart molds or no
Where can i find these wax’s?
Hi Jeff. Have you ever tried Pillar of Bliss from Natures Garden for melts? If so, what are your thoughts?
My local dealer has a70%soy/30%parifin blend. Will this work for melts and give it that "snap"?
It depends on the paraffin used. If its a harder paraffin then yes.
What wax ratio do you suggest for 464 with 4625? I tried 80/20, but I’m not convinced this is the best ratio. Tia!
I actually like 90/10
A video on Kentucky Soy Wax and Tart Melts, would be great!!!! Thanks for all you are teaching us!
"My name's Jeff" 😂😂😂
Can this ratio be used for container
I tried mixing the two waxes as you suggested in my silicone molds and too soft. Its unfortunate you dont answer peoples questions.
Sorry that some get missed, I get literally hundreds a day. Email is always better as I don’t get all notifications from TH-cam.
If your melts are too soft, add more 4625 until it’s get the desired hardness you’re after.
Do you have any recommendations on what packaging you could use to make it sustainable?
you are the best. keep up the good work. i really appreciate you.
Great video.. whats the scale that you use? Does it matter which one I buy??
Can you please tell me where you purchased the waxes? I would really appreciate it
I bought these from Candle Science.
Hi! Can you do a video on what size labels work best on tins and different sized jars? Thanks!
how does sweater weather smell like?
What Facebook group are you in?
Do you use the same labels and size for the candle jars
Did you measure that in ounces
Hi Jeff...do you have any issues using vanilla type fragrances in the tart container? I'm wondering if it's just me🤔
I haven’t had any issues so far, what type are you using?
I'm using clamshell containers from Flaming candle
Hey, thank you so much for posting this recipe! I tried it out on 3 different scents, one is very strong but the others became significantly weaker after 2 hours of melting (I used 1 cube). I was wondering if you can give some feedback on how long 1 cube is expected to give a decent hot throw for in terms of hours.
Im glad it worked for you!
I get a good two days on a cube, getting lighter by the second day of course.
I bet your house smells yummy all the time!
Where do you get your wax?
What are your thoughts on California candle co’s TW 30
I didn’t like it personally. I have a ton left I wish I could get rid of. The site has good reviews though 🤷🏽♀️
