hello great video. I followed the video set by step and made my wax melts. they smell amazing, but they dont fully melt or dont melt at all. I've seen other videos that people put coconut oil in. I'm hoping you can help me with this hurdle
There are some that add coconut oil, I personally don't, BUT not all beeswax is the same as it can depend on the nectar flow and location that the bees were that made the wax. Also some wax melters don't have a strong enough bulb or maybe even need to have their bulb replaced to keep it at its full melting strength. Also some that don't use a bulb may not be a strong enough wattage/voltage for melting beeswax. I lean towards a stronger wax melter to assist with melting beeswax since overall beeswax is a harder wax and has a higher melting point.
How long does it take for wax to come to twmp in that machine? I do candles for gifts and that would save me so much time! I swear i have two birthdays in my fam every month!
Yes, you can make them without any fragrance oils. You will only have the natural subtle scent of the beeswax the way the bees made it. I make them with 100% beeswax and then add my fragrance oil of choice.
@@jessicamenchaca4970 I do recommend to opt for a wax warmer equipped with a 35 watt bulb or a warmer that is stronger for melting beeswax melts. The higher melting point of beeswax requires a warmer with higher temp capabilities for optimal performance. :) I also recommend adding no more than 2 cubes at a time to melters.
I just received your melts. I love them!
YEAH!!!! so glad that you love them! Thank you!!!!
Thanks for sharing. You're instructions were very informative and helpful.
You’re very welcome!
This is incredible
Thank you!
How much fragrance oil was used? The reading on the scale?
Thanks
For my melts I use a 12% Fragrance percentage
@ Thank you.
What machine is that melting the wax?
It’s the ToAuto melter. I purchased it off Amazon. They have a couple different sizes. 😀

It can depend on how full the tank is with wax but for me generally 30 min to 1 hour and the wax is melted!
Is there no need to add coconut oil? I would prefer 100% beeswax melts but I thought I had to add Coconut oil.
I never add coconut oil, just 100% beeswax and fragrance oil. 😀
Thank you for this!! Because I am so allergic to coconut!! I wasn't really sure WHY or what the point was pf coconut oil if you use fragrance oil??
Can it be 100% beeswax ?

@WildHarvestCandleCompany Awesome , do you know if they will be difficult to melt etc?

@@WildHarvestCandleCompany oh ok ! Thank you so much ❤️

Can i mix beeswax and soy for melts ? Like if somone wanted to melt them on a lower heat warmer? Would it work?
