I am just embarking on my candle making journey and planning for a launch in 5 months time. I love how thorough your videos are. The suggestion to read reviews on fragrance oils was priceless. Thank you!!!
New candle maker…… I really appreciate you sharing your video and experience with candle making. You are right, most TH-camrs want to keep a lids on CT/HT secrets or want to charge for information. I figured most would be common sense or findable though research…. Learning do’s and don’t’s from established pro candle makers. Just appreciate the information 😊
I don’t think I can advise you to use a hand lender , due to the fact it would create bubbles. Perhaps it’s better to stick with a slow stir by hand. 👍🏼😊
What great news! Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge with me, is that I am having a difficult time with the finishing of my candles, I always get the rough finish on top, I am using the 464, and the fragrance from candle science, thank you again
Thank you and you are very welcome. Unfortunately that is one of the downsides of 464... just make sure you are pouring at the recommended pour temp... and after they cool you may need to use a heat gun to smooth the tops. Honestly that's one of the reasons why I switched to coconut soy C6
You can use either, but if you use aa container that does not have a lid I would recommend using candle dust covers. Dust covers are sold on amazon in various sizes. Hope this helps.
Wow! Amazing video!!🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 Thank you for sharing all your knowledge- I’m a newbie and have just made my first 6 candles.. You have a new subscriber now! Keep your info coming, I love it! Thank you! ❤
I use Coconut Soy Wax C6 which is a natural was I do not use wax that contains paraffin., or a blend of any kind that contains paraffin due to its toxicity.
Thank you for reminding me in another video to heat the jars. I like you am using same wax and clear jars. Wax adhesion is very important to me. I have been nearly 100% since implementing your suggestion to heat my jars. I also put them in an aluminum foil tray with lid to further slow down the cooling process. Thanks!
Essential oils are all natural and don't contain any synthetic components. Fragrance Oils contain some synthetic components, but can also contain essential oils.
I love this. I use GW464 when reading reviews would the coconut soy wax be the same? Like if you posted a review would I be able to go by that review although my wax isn't the coconut wax or should I look for only soy wax specific reviews? (hope that made sense lol)
Yes... your comment makes perfect sense...LOL. GW464 is a Soy wax with a soy based additive and is not the same as Coconut Soy. Check my videos, I have a review of the Coconut Soy wax that I use. Hope this was helpful.
My candle has no throw. I use the Apricot creme from makes. I don't get 🎉a full melt pool it only burns in the middle and the sides isn't melting. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. My fragrances comes Candle science. I want to start making candles but it's becoming very frustrating not to do it.
Go to candlescience.com and check your wick size… make sure you burn 1 hour for every inch of width .. then try one of the fragrances I mentioned in the video. Let me know how it goes. 👍🏼❤️
Hi and thank you for this video! So, I make candles as a hobby. There’s a few scents that I’m playing with that say for instance if I use a CDN-3 the candle tunnels but the HT is amazing. If I wick up to a CDN-4 the candle no longer tunnels but the HT is gone. Have you experienced this?
I wish I could for this vessel. It’s a Nova vessel from Dream Vessels. I am beating myself up over it LOL 😂 candle making is truly a science. I’ve lowered the FO% to 3% and increased it up to 10% and still the same results.
@@MisterWhatWhat Have you tried a different type of Wick? Have you checked what wick is recommended … you can check the wick guide on candlescience.com. And did you allow the candle to burn the first time it was lit… for at least 2-4 hours?
@@wilcandles Oh yeah all of my candles cure for a minimum of 3-weeks. I use No. 7 wax from 16/17, they recommend CDN wicks because they burn cooler. I’ve dabbled with CD, ECO, LCS, LX, HPSP, and HTP wicks with these scents and it is driving me crazy. I believe I’m at the point of just tossing these scents. I’m the type of person that likes to fix things and it can be a curse and a blessing at the same time.
@@MisterWhatWhat Hmm... changing fragrances is def an option. One last thing.. see if you can find someone on TH-cam using the same fragrance in a similar candle vessel ... and hopefully they mention what wick they are using. Good Luck... keep me posted.

So glad you are here ❤️ and you are very welcome.
I always let my candles cure for 3 weeks minimum. The longer the cure, the better the HT and CT. Thanks for the video.
Binge watching your videos! I usually never leave comments but you are a great inspiration! Thank you, my new mentor😊Please don’t stop making videos!
Aww❤️ Thank you so much Nicole. Comments like that, make my Day! 🌸

What temp would you recommend to pour 464?
Very helpful!!! Thank you and many many blessings to you and your family!!
Thank you and same to you ❤️
Does using a hand blender to stir mess with the fragrance

Love the trees on that backsplash! Thanks!
This was very informative and helpful. Thank you.
For soy wax cure,which container we used, with lid or without lid?
You can use either, but if you use aa container that does not have a lid I would recommend using candle dust covers. Dust covers are sold on amazon in various sizes. Hope this helps.
Wow! Amazing video!!🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

Hello mam
what type of wax do you use ?
parasoy wax gives strong hot throw?
I use Coconut Soy Wax C6 which is a natural was I do not use wax that contains paraffin., or a blend of any kind that contains paraffin due to its toxicity.
thank you for you great information 😊

@@wilcandles You do a very nice job on your videos and I enjoy watching you and learn lots!!! You are one of my favorites.
@@corgimama4988 Awww… thank you so much! ❤️
I am new and I love watching your videos thanks
Thanks so much.. and welcome to my channel
Good info and great common sense (sooo0 needed)
Yes Indeed! 👍🏼❤️😀 And Thank You!
Thank you so much for the information. I will try the coconut soy. I'm missing the mark with soy 646 frosting each and every time.
You are very welcome. Try warning your jars before pouring your wax, let me know if that helps. I warm my jars in the oven @ 150F… warm… not hot.
Amazing
Thank you
Great video! Definitely great points to consider especially for newbies such as myself. 😊
Thanks so much Sonya.
I’m about to be your favorite fan
Best Compliment Ever!! 😊♥
What is the difference between using fragrance oil and essential oils for making candles??
Essential oils are all natural and don't contain any synthetic components. Fragrance Oils contain some synthetic components, but can also contain essential oils.
Nice

You are very welcome ❤️. Yes, I have experienced this before. If the width of your candle jar allows… I double wick using a smaller size wick.
