Your candle is perfect
Thank you very much 😊
@PurchaseReviews keep uploading
Thank you for sharing!!
@@patriziaforletta4748 You are welcome, thank you for watching and commenting, much appreciated 😊
Thank you for the great video. I have never used Stearic Acid in my wax mix. What are the benefits please? Do you only use this when making candles in tins? The wax I normally use is Rapeseed & Coconut for my vessels and the same blend but for melts and small tea lights. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your comment, and for watching. Yes, Stearic acid is an essential ingredient in candle making that no one ever seems to talk about. Here is a list of the benefits of using vegetable stearic acid in soy candles.
Hardening Agent:
Stearic acid helps to increase the hardness and stability of candles, making them less likely to bend or deform at room temperature.
Opacity:
Stearic acid can enhance the opacity of candles, resulting in a more solid and opaque appearance.
Scent Throw:
When used in scented candles, stearic acid can help improve the scent throw, allowing the fragrance to disperse more effectively and fill the surrounding space with aroma.
Smooth Texture:
Stearic acid contributes to a smoother texture in candles, reducing the likelihood of surface imperfections or air bubbles.
Reduced Shrinkage:
Adding stearic acid to candle formulations can help reduce shrinkage during the cooling process, resulting in a more uniform and consistent final product.
Longer Burn Time:
Stearic acid can help prolong the burn time of candles by slowing down the rate at which the wax melts, leading to a more efficient and longer-lasting burn.
Hope this info helps.
What is the recommended ratio of wax to stearic acid?
15 grams of stearic acid to 770 grams of wax. I’ve never make concrete wax candles, so I couldn’t tell you what wax works the best for those. Thanks
@@PurchaseReviews thank you so much 😊
@riffatriaz8417 you are welcome 😊
What wax would you recommend for concrete containers?
Did you swap your wax brand or do you just use a different wax for the tins? Your other video used Ecosoya CB Advanced
Gday @steveclarke7
I am still using Eco-soy for the glasses, and Coco-soy for the tins. The Eco-soy doesn’t work well in tins. No matter what size wick you use they just don’t burn properly, and leave a lot of wax behind. On the other hand, the Coco-soy wax has issues with adhesion when working with glass. These are the two types of candles I make, and I couldn’t be more happy. I’ve tried almost all the waxes and all the wicks. Took a long time to finally figure it all out. In the candle videos no one ever seems to mention anything about stearic acid or UV stabilizer. These ingredients are a must. Thanks for your question, hope that helps.
@@PurchaseReviews Extremely helpful! I live in Australia as well and stumbling across your videos a few months ago was a blessing. I bought the eco-soy wax and stearic acid based off your older video and its worked great! Saw your new video and thought maybe you had changed your mind after further testing. Really appreciate the thorough explanations you give in both your videos and comments. Saves me a lot of time getting to skip the long frustrating testing phase I'm sure you went through to reach your conclusions.
No worries, I know exactly what you mean. They test and test and test, and still the candles are crap. It’s like with the epoxy tumblers I was making, they skip or completely miss crucial steps, or don’t give the right info. Really glad that the videos help.
I read your comment wrong, thought you were taking about the videos you were watching. Sorry about that. Yep, the testing was definitely the most time consuming part.
@@PurchaseReviews No worries.......and yes, I watched more videos than I can count but most just didn't seem to answer everything that a beginner needed. As soon as i found your video, I saved it to refer back to later. Finding your video was like finding a needle in a hay stack.
Hey what is the span of expiry of these candles? 6 months?
Up to two years if stored properly. I keep mine stored in a cool dry room. They are also kept in airtight containers. Thanks
@@PurchaseReviews Thank you 😇 That was helpful 🙏🏼
Hi I try to make canddle with soy wax it's my first time. After burn canddle became like popcorn . What is the reason please tell mr
Sounds like you got candle frosting. It’s typically caused by the crystallization of natural waxes, especially soy wax, during the cooling process. It's a common occurrence and doesn't affect the quality or performance of the candle.
To prevent candle frosting, you can try these following tips:
* Use additives: Adding additives like stearic acid or vybar to your candle wax can help reduce frosting.
* Heat control: Ensure your wax is not overheated during the melting process. Overheating can contribute to frosting. Follow the manufacturer's recommended temperature guidelines.
* Cooling process: Allow your candles to cool slowly and evenly at room temperature. Rapid cooling can exacerbate frosting.
* Container choice: Opt for opaque or colored containers to minimize the visibility of frosting.
* Temperature control: Store your finished candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and fluctuations in temperature, as extreme temperatures can cause frosting.
* Proper wick selection: Using the appropriate wick size for your candle can help ensure an even burn, which may reduce frosting.
Hope this helps..
Thank you so much . Great help 🙏
You mention adding 80mL scent per the liter but mention 80%. Do you mean 8% scent instead of 80%?
Yes, sorry I should have clarified that. The 80mls = the same as 8% scent.
did you put sealer on you metal cans?
Do you mean like a film wrap to keep dust out? If that’s what you mean, then no. I usually box them up and sell in orders of around 30 -40. I’ll only use some bubble wrap to protect the tins from denting, and that’s about it.
@@PurchaseReviews sealer from the rust
@jonystube oh ok, no I don’t, the tins I use are made from aluminium, so they don’t rust.
