Another wonderful video-thank you Virginia! As with the beeswax block, I reviewed it a few times, made my first beeswax candle ever for our Honey Show competition at the Chattahoochee Mtn Fair in September and I placed 2nd-Woohoo! Highly recommended!
Hi Virginia, I have never made a beeswax candle and although I've been to presentations from you at GBA and MABA on this topic, it was wonderful to watch your video and refresh my memory as I prepare to try this for the first time! Thanks so much. Linda T
Love your video and the explanation of how to make bees wax candles. I have tried to research to find how the candles should look burning and I can find nothing for square or pillar candles. Can you please give advise or do a video showing how the candles should look like while burning? Are they supposed to drip or run off the sides? Any advice is appreciated.
For metal candle molds especially metal taper molds, do you need to use mold release spray? Also how do you prevent bubbles forming in and on the surface of candles.
wonderful tutorial! i have watched your how to video several times, as it is my favorite one on making beeswax candles. i would like to ask a couple of questions, though. sometimes my candles spit across the top- if i am making them in mason jars or small clay pots. and also, some of my silicone molds will get small holes in the bottom as they cool. any ideas as to why these two things happen, and what i can do to prevent this? thank you in advance for your help!
Hello Bea, Regarding the splitting of top in pouring mason jars, I find that when you pour into this type of container does not have any flexibility, it will split. As far as the small holes in the bottom of wax in a silicone mold, you may be pouring it too fast, pouring a candle like you would pour a beer, from the side and slowly will help the mold fill completely. Thanks for you questions.
Excellent presentation. 2 small things: I wouldn't recommend storing your winning ribbons over the stove. And, the website referred to is called E T S Y, not E S T Y. A-1 tutorial!

I have some beautiful vintage wooden molds. Would I be able to pour hot beeswax into them?
Great video! I noticed your taper candle molds in the background, could you tell me where you got the wooden holder for them?

Thank you, I can see you're a winner. Thank you for showing us how to make the candles, great job
THANK YOU for sharing your precious time, talent, knowledge, and skills with all of us so we may learn! Hugs & Blessings 2U!
This is great info!! I just have one question... How long do you wait for the beeswax candles to cool? 24hrs? Overnight?
Awesome. But tell more about wick sizes for each mold would help
Excellent!!! And thank you for showing and teaching everyone!!! Mike
Where can I get the form used to flute the taper bases?? I appreciate your help!

i should say that the WAX in the silicone molds will get small holes in them as they cool, to be more precise.
Excellent tutorial. Thank you!!

If the wax is too hot the PETE plastic will shink. So the plastic coke botlle will then be a disaster. Thanks for vid.
