THANK YOU! This is the best pillar candle making content ive literally ever seen! I’ve heard of all of these tips before but I feel like makers are never honest about the pillar candlemaking struggles!
Bless your heart ❤ this was such an informative video ! Thank you 😊
This was a great video, thanks for sharing your knowledge and I will definitely get much use from your info. I will not be selling candles, but I still want the best candles to give as gifts
Thank you !! Love this video! And you are the cutest ❤🤗 can’t wait to start making sculptural candles soon 🙏🏻
Thanks you 🥰
Thank you for all the information you have shared!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for these tips, Marion!
😊 you’re welcome!
You are fabulous. Thank you for your channel. I was laughing when you said about buy the wrong wax & the candles being crap. I did this & added mica powder which clogged my wicks & failed my candles. I have quite a few unlite candles vessel's to strip out & start again. It's a Journey right ✅️
I'm loving it 😍
Thank you 😊
It is a journey and you’ll keep learning! It is a craft that takes passion to keep you going!
Thank you so much 🙏🏼🙏🏼
You are so welcome
Thank you so much for sharing ❤
Its already 2 months and im still just trying 😁
I see so many people sharing them work and when i try ,everything is coming out bad😔 i feel that i started what is maybe not for me .
And its big investment too😅
How and where do you find pillar candle wicks, everywhere i look there are very bad, small wicks wich burn horribly?
This is very useful tips that save alot time and money 😊 one request from my side is make one video of proper temperatures of melting ,mixing ,and pourning🎉 how much time we need to give a candle to set?
Thanks, unfortunately temperatures are unique to each wax and the candle maker environment (room temperature). So it is impossible to provide good advice on this I’m afraid except, you need to test.
Hi! Thanks for all the tips already! Can I ask what you think about waiting time before burning your self made candle? When you demould your candle, how long would you wait until you burn it? Looking forward for your answer
Hello,
It depends on your wax curing time.
But I would say at least 48h.
Thanks!
❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much for your very informative videos, much appreciated! Before I buy one, may I ask, what is important in a hot gun?
I use it to warm my moulds, fix sink holes and to smooth the top of the my container candle
@@GlowedCandles Merci, Marion. Can I buy any hot gun (minimum watt, temperature range?)?
How can i heat my mold on the second pour when iam doing multicolor candle ?
Should you warm your containers as well if you are making container candles?
Depends on your wax really.
Some yes, some no. It’s all trial and error with candles.
What is your recommendation for best room temperature for pouring wax into the molds ? 🙏🏻
Depends on your wax and your pouring temperature. Usually wax doesn’t like the cold so the warmer the better but 18 - 20 degrees is what I aim for
@@GlowedCandles thank you 🙏🏻
May i know how peony candles are burned. I feel the botton most wax will be left without burning
If i pour too cold then i will have bubbles, but if i will pour to high temperature, does it make some problems? Thank you for your answers. Not many people wants to share💯💥❤
it can yes, mainly sink holes and frosting
Can you share your temperatures please? No matter what temp i use is still bad 🤧
Can i ask where do you buy your moulds? I know they sell in Australia but they expensive. I have from aliexpres but quality is not very good
Sorry for so many questions 🙈🤗
I get mine from Aliexpress, you need to try several stores some are great quality!
So how do you clean your molds? :)

What should I add to wax that candle burns longer
Nothing. Burn rate is based on your fragrance load and wick size. If it burns too fast your wick may be too big.
another way to look for the wax?
I can't find it as pillar wax
No.. there is two types container and pillar. You really need pillar was for those.
I used heat gun.after tissue. After i washed with dish soap. And still has find very thin layer of wax😬
Then you didn’t melt all the wax with the heat gun
When my kerasoy melts its reaches minimum 85 C.
I dont understand how you can melt all wax till 75 C. Very interesting 🤔 does it depents on how big heat im using? I use medium.
I bought pillar candles course, and i see that i knew almost everything already. But still millions of questions 😅
Most of youtubers say to pour FO at 75. And pour at 65-70.
In the course she said to add FO at 65. And pour at 60.
Temperature is so important but people saying different numbers. Who to believe 🤔
Do you mean that it doesn’t melt until it reaches 85 degrees Celsius?? Kerasoy melt point is 60 degrees!?!
When i make my candle i have 22 house temp. Then i preheat moulds. And i pour qt 65. And i use aliuminium foil to keep it worm. And i tap moulds. And guess what....i still have bubbles and frosting 😬🤧
Where did you buy your wax from? Because from what you are saying I would challenge that.
@@GlowedCandles i bought after your recommendations. From livermoor. Kerasoy
Unfortunately in Serbia we only have one supplier for pillar soy wax 😭
Frosting is my biggest enemy 😂
Ah frosting the candle maker nemesis!
