Hey everyone. First of all, thanks for watching. Secondly.... to save you all time, I'm well aware of my mispronounciation of "Petrichor". 🤣 I recently watched something and had someone say it that way and it accidentally stuck. Lol. Anyway... thanks so much for being here!
No one's perfect 😜 you're doing just fine. I have a question though, you had said that you were having issues with your wick holders. The link below your video I believe is a different product than what you're using in this video. I need what you're using to sort of "lock" the wick because recently mine have been "bending/bowing" during cure 😬 Please help me out 🥺
@@sherit8594 The ones i am using in this video are 12 years old and that company went out of business about 6 years ago. I did like them... but the new ones I use now i like better. Fast to use and hold the wick great. They may "look" like the typical wick holder but they are not. They have this gradual "v" that holds the wick very well. and they fit the jars perfectly. The ones in the video you have to get lucky if they fit well or not. Lol. But anyway, the reason I dont like those in the video as... the place is gone. You might be able to find randomly online but not sure where.
@@BlackTieBarn 😫 Ugh...the hunt is officially on! I clicked the link and watched their video on "How to" and realized they don't lock. That's when I knew they weren't the same. Alright, I really appreciate your response and I'll keep you posted if I can find some similar ☺️ Enjoy the rest of your day!
@@sherit8594 I am not sure what you mean by "lock" but i can tell you the ones i use now lock/hold the wick just as good as these. I wouldn't choose anything that was a downgrade. And I've tried probably 3 dozen kinds this year. Lol. but i also understand we also have something specific we are looking for. Hope you find something similar and right size
@@BlackTieBarn time stamp 11:24 you twist the wick then snap it into place. I've been doing this "candle making" since 1997. Just wish I would have held on to what worked best as opposed to ditching for something I thought was better.
I have recently decided to try my hand at candle making as a side job. I am still in the investigating/learning stage (haven't even tried my first candle yet😳). I just wanted to say how amazing your videos are!!! I realize how much work goes into them and I value having them to guide me in the process. These are so well made and easy to follow....better than ANY other tutorial videos that I have ever watched! No joke. I am watching all of your vids before I jump, but I feel a lot more confident with your shared knowledge base behind me! I just wanted you to know how appreciative I am that you take the time and effort to make these. ❤❤❤ Rachel H
Hello Mayra! I am about to start testing too and part of me is excited, but I feel I am more anxious and nervous. How do you get over your jitters and just get started??
I love this video simply because I got to lol every time you said petricker. We love how real you are Wade. I love finding new info and tips from all your videos but it also confirms when I'm doing things properly when I see you doing thing similar to my process. Thanks for this!
That is Johnsen from Suzhou Camett factory mainly for All kinds of jars( Frosted white, matte black, amber jar with Wood lids, metal lids or bamboo lids, Logo also can be done it ) We Camett factory own Very good packing on jar, NO breaks of shipped your door! UPS will delivery your door then!
I LOVE your videos!! As a newbie I so appreciate all the knowledge you share. I’m based in the UK and I have a love/hate relationship with any US makers as you have access to so many more gorgeous sounding fragrances and dyes that we just don’t have access to over here lol
Thank you so much for sharing this new company. After looking at their website I will definitely order my tin cans from now on. Also, I loved the labels as they do make it extremely helpful.?Again, thank you so, so much!
👋🏾 HELLO! Watching all your videos & taking in all the knowledge. Hopefully I will become a, PROFESSIONAL CANDLE MAKER ENTREPRENEUR LIKE U. THANK YOU FOR SHARING. 🥰
That was fun Watching you make the candles and experimenting with the dye colors I thought that one came out really good the rose kind of colored one that turned out really nice the color
Always loved candles. Three days into brainstorming about making my own candles. This video pretty much Solidified it. I’m doing it lol. Nice video man! Love the white candle. The blue coloring came out perfectly.
Love your videos. All those options look great. I'm thiinking of starting a candle business this year. Scary but exciting and I have been binge watching your videos in hopes of starting soon. I did a one day class a year ago and I recently bought a candle makjng kit from Hearth and Harbor. Wish me luck
Perfect Timing! I just received 10 cases of these tins today…And I actually used the Honey Bourbon scent from Little Bee today…I will try your wick suggestion tomorrow but I actually have double wicked with CDN on a few testers. This was a perfect video, it really helps to see someone actually make the candle from start to finish.
Thanks for the video, the tins are really nice. I was looking at that particular blue at candle science, it was nice to see it in wax. Always helpful as usual.
Hi wade, from Jamaica here and I'm really loving your videos, awesome experimentation. These did turn out so good. I've learnt the most from your videos and just wanted to say thank u!!!! Did u do a video on labeling?
The "hand poured in Mississippi" on the Petrichor label at 25:15 just kept pulling my focus. But in a later shot, it looks like it was corrected. The tins looked good...great work on the improvisational candles.
Lol yah i noticed that too, but it wasn't that it was a mistake. It's just a template that you edit the parts you want and I just hadn't gotten to it yet. Some parts I sped up or cut through to keep the video a decent length. So probably Judy left that part out.
Really appreciate your videos. Loved the small pot you used! it's perfect for testing. I was given lots of bees wax from a beekeeper I knew. Naturally sweet smelling, but I have struggled with wicks. I also use tins because they're not as weighty as glass and they stack perfectly. I have tested a variety of waxes to blend with the bees wax, using the 4oz and the 16oz tins. Still not completely satisfied with the results. Hope you try bees wax on some of your videos. You're a rare gem!
Thanks so much. I don't use much beeswax particularly on its own. It's good for blending though. You will definitely need larger hotter burning wicks for beeswax. Try CD or square braid wicks
@@BlackTieBarn Yes! Thank you. I am using the CD wicks and currently trying to find the right blend with my beeswax. Guess it's testing, testing. Lol! Appreciate your response. I ordered my small pot. Love your videos!
I like the tins and was especially interested in how you measured scents for a small volume of wax. Those bottles are not very forgiving because I vhave spilled fragrance while measuring. Recently made 12 6 Oz lavender candles when I intended to make 10. Current wicks on hand is eco -10 and eco - 12 which both are good for using with 464 soy wax. Planning on selling the candles as a craft until I can get enough to start labeling. I purchased a calligraphy pen just for fun to try and customize my labels.
That wax came out super smooth! Nice. Question: tips for cleaning aparatus? I made a blue candle, and when i made a few white candles after they came out gray because i clearly hadnt cleaned them properly. Its put me off making color candles, unless i buy kit just to use for a specific color. A video on thos would be amazing.
Yah eating them first is super important. I do have a few videos on using color as well. If you navigate to my channel, click view channel, and then the video section you will see them. :)
Hi, first thank you for the video. I wanted to know where you got the labels for the tins. I having problems finding them. Did you say they are 1 x 8? Thank you in advance. Gina
With the woden wicks. I tend to use two together, not just the one ad that is what I've got told and works well. I have not tried using just the one wick. Do you think it would make much difference to use one single wick?
What wick would you recommend using the pro blend 600 no dye. And what size wood wick worked for you in this video. I just want you to know that there was a point I just wanted to give up and throw the towel in. I then started watching you and I felt like I could do it, you made me feel like I could do it… And now I’ve been doing it for about two months. ❤thank you
Aww thanks, I appreciate hearing that. But that's all you. Glad things are going better. As far as what wick to use... what jar are you using. Along with wax they are the most important factors
I’m using the 8 oz tin jars. the pro blend 600 and IGI 4627. I know you can’t be exact but maybe a starting place for me for both waxes using the tin jars. 🙌🏼💙
And noooo! And I had watched so many videos and researched for days and days. I had become so into it it took up every single part of my day. I was DONE! I had done thrown four notebooks down on my desk in these notebooks have so much information but nothing was making sense to me. And then got on TH-cam and a specific video of yours popped up…me and my OCD (legit diagnosed) wouldn’t let me pass this video. There’s not many people that want to share or be helpful. The whole time I wasn’t looking for someone to do all the work for me because I understand the amount of work that goes into this but you gave me a starting point. a very good starting point. I purchased what I needed. I did have to go up a wicked size maybe once or twice, I left them cure for 2 weeks. I lit these bad boys up… and after a few minutes I thought this smell OK very nice and then a few more minutes I realized I just created a candle that I would purchase over and over again. I just made these candles that I am beyond excited more than proud to gift someone. So yes this was you… Maybe a little me but this was you!!! ♥️
Hello. I have been making candles since last year and so far I have sold them over 100 candles😊 but now I want to change something like I was using eco wicks so now I want to try cotton wicks for 3.5 inch tins like of fancy tins. So do you recommend cotton wicks for 3.5 inch diameter. Please reply soon. Also do you think double wicks works better for 3.5inch or one wicks is good too. I’m doing both single and double wicks in same tins.
3.5" diameter is a tough size. If single wicking is proving tough, definitely ty double wick. Eco put cotton is fine. Depends on wax and your preference. And I do my best to respond when I can. Always super busy but I'm usually quite responsive
@@BlackTieBarn also I wanted to ask how long does it take get melt pool of 3.5 diameter with double wicks? So I can tell customer how long to light the candle till they can blow it off. Thanks I’ll really appreciate if you reply soon
Love the labels, if don't mind me asking what size label is it and from what company you purchase the labels. I used Oliicraft tins. Thank you for the video 🙂
Hey!! I use the CandleScience round 8ox tin which shows to be 3.125" across.. IGI 6006 wax, 8oz fragrance load, brown die. I have REALLY struggled getting a good Hot Throw. my test customers say they can't really smell it. Trying to hone in the wicking.. I have gone up as far as ECO10 which is probably over wicked. I have some LX22 and LX24's. Have HTP's and Zinc Cores.. Any suggestions on a direction for wicking in this size tin and IGI6006 wax?
I love those tins! I actually already have a case of them that I bought from Amazon. I will definitely get more from here. One question; did the labels go all the way around the tin?
Hi again, can I ask what label sheen you used? Got a little overwhelmed trying to pick one from online labels. Wanting something with a nice classic finish. Thanks so much for all you do for the rest of us :)
These tins come with their own templates for canva that you receive when purchasing the tins. If you want any other label design in canva just search candles or something. :)
If my vessel is 8oz and I know it will hold 7.5oz, should my calculations be based on the 7.5ozs?. Also, where's the best place to learn about wood wick sizing? I'd like to learn more about how the number system works. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this awesome video. I just have a quick question about the labels. What label material did you use. It has that nice sheen to it. Also, if printing labels yourself, what type of printer do you recommend? I have perfected my candles but I can’t seem to get the labels to look the way I want because of the material I’m printing on I guess. They just don’t look sleek and professional. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Hi, I love your channel and willingness to help us newbies! I am finding it hard to wick these tins with Makesy Coco Apricot Creme wax. Could you give me a good place to start with a single wick type and size? The cotton 91 suggested on the website is not big enough. Thank you!
Hi thanks for responding the wax is 464 the wick I have it burn to much I think cause sometimes my jar be burned at the top an I know that’s not how it’s SUPOSE to be lol
Thanks for the great content. Are those labels ones you've designed yourself in Canva? I have Canva Pro but have never seen any in that style/size when I search for candle labels. Thanks! Carrie.
Question: Wade how many pouring pitchers do you use when making your candles and I've seen in other videos that you just wipe them clean with a papertowel. When I try and do this I feel like some of my FO residue gets left behind. Any suggestions on how to clean in between FO's or do you just use separate pitchers? Thank you in advance for your response. Great video as always.
Hi Debra, sorry I missed this before. Some comments just get buried. I just clean the hot wax out, use heat gun to reheat if necessary. And occasionally use alcohol or mineral oil if I think it needs a bit more cleaning. But you are often going to still smell a bit of the prevous scent, it doesn't transfer though. Give it a good wipe down hot and you are fine.
Those came out nice. I didn't quite catch the product you used for the color, and I didn't see it listed in the description. And how long did you wait until testing the candles?
Candle science liquid dyes. Although there are lots of good dyes. I tested these the next day. Again, though, keep in mind these were to try out the tins more than anything. It would take longer to dial in the right wick type/size etc.

Thanks Betty. Yes, I think premier 750,755 or 760 are great for honey tea Bourbon in this tin with pb600. The petrichor definitely needs wicked up
I wish they were available in the UK too.
Yeah for sure

Use a wood skewer, Thermometer, spoon, anything to hold over and pour the FO down. It will prevent it from spilling all over
very nnice
thankyou
I would personally have gone with Seafoam Green color for the Sea Salt one in the white tins. What do you think?
I would probably agree. I think any shade of blue or green would be good choice
Hello sir.... I need more info on make tin/glass labels... please help. Do you make your labels on canvas
Some yes. But the test I design in photoshop. But it's up to you
Where did you get the white wood wicks? Also excellent video. I have those tins and really like them.
Hi. New to your channel and love it. What wax melter are you using in this video. Thanks
Smaller one is a soylite Presto pout emeith spout. The other is a digital boil

great tutorial as always, unfortunately for me none of the tins or fragrances are available to Australia. appreciate your work, and information 👏👏
Ah, bummer!!
How does the proportion vary if using essential oil vs fragrance oil?
Candles are beautiful... love the mocha color!! Where do you get your liquid Dyes? Is is best to use liquid dye or wax chips for candle making?
I use mostly liquid dye from candle science and natures garden. Good options.
I love these tins,,,who is your supplier? Thank you!
Hi, first thank you for the video. I wanted to know where you got the labels for the tins. I having problems finding them. Did you say they are 1 x 8? Thank you in advance. Gina
Try onlinelables.com I just happened to have had 1x8 on me but that isn't the only size that will work. :)

With the woden wicks. I tend to use two together, not just the one ad that is what I've got told and works well. I have not tried using just the one wick. Do you think it would make much difference to use one single wick?
How do you guarantee a burn on your wood wicks? Ive read that you have to soak them. Many people say they don’t.
I've never soaked them really but long story short is there is no way to guarantee it with wood wicks. No two wood wicks are exactly the same
Hermoso

And I do my best to respond when I can. Always super busy but I'm usually quite responsive
@@BlackTieBarn okay, my wax is soy wax don’t know number and I use both eco wicks and cotton wicks, yesterday only I was trying for the cotton wicks
@@BlackTieBarn also I wanted to ask how long does it take get melt pool of 3.5 diameter with double wicks? So I can tell customer how long to light the candle till they can blow it off. Thanks I’ll really appreciate if you reply soon
Love the labels, if don't mind me asking what size label is it and from what company you purchase the labels. I used Oliicraft tins. Thank you for the video 🙂
Mine were a bit smaller than the por8vded template. But I believe mine were 1" x 8.5" from online labels. :)
Hey!! I use the CandleScience round 8ox tin which shows to be 3.125" across.. IGI 6006 wax, 8oz fragrance load, brown die. I have REALLY struggled getting a good Hot Throw. my test customers say they can't really smell it. Trying to hone in the wicking.. I have gone up as far as ECO10 which is probably over wicked. I have some LX22 and LX24's. Have HTP's and Zinc Cores.. Any suggestions on a direction for wicking in this size tin and IGI6006 wax?
Where did u buy the tins from
Should be in description with a link a checkout code. :)
@@BlackTieBarn oh ok thanks Wade. I appreciate your videos.
I love those tins! I actually already have a case of them that I bought from Amazon. I will definitely get more from here. One question; did the labels go all the way around the tin?
It depends. Mine didn't because the ones I jaf were a bit shorter. I imagine the ones the templates are designed for would wrap most or all the way.
Hi again, can I ask what label sheen you used? Got a little overwhelmed trying to pick one from online labels. Wanting something with a nice classic finish. Thanks so much for all you do for the rest of us :)
it depends on the look you are going for. I like high quality matte but i have a metaalic sheen on some as well.
How long do you burn for a full melt pool ?
I see 2 hours to 4 hours. What do you recommend?
Can u use that wax for wax melts also
It's too soft. Try pro blend 650 instead
Loved the video, one question where do you get those sized labels and what type of printer do you use? Keep up the great work.
Thanks! Online labels and just a basic Brother color laser printer
You mentioned that you used Canva for your labels. I habe canva and I can't find it. What do I put in the search box?
These tins come with their own templates for canva that you receive when purchasing the tins. If you want any other label design in canva just search candles or something. :)
@@BlackTieBarn U right, I thought that was what you said. Having a blond moment thanks
Help, my wick stickers all came up when I poured my wax in the 8oz tins. This has never happened. Any suggestions, please.
If my vessel is 8oz and I know it will hold 7.5oz, should my calculations be based on the 7.5ozs?. Also, where's the best place to learn about wood wick sizing? I'd like to learn more about how the number system works. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this awesome video. I just have a quick question about the labels. What label material did you use. It has that nice sheen to it. Also, if printing labels yourself, what type of printer do you recommend? I have perfected my candles but I can’t seem to get the labels to look the way I want because of the material I’m printing on I guess. They just don’t look sleek and professional. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Hi, I love your channel and willingness to help us newbies! I am finding it hard to wick these tins with Makesy Coco Apricot Creme wax. Could you give me a good place to start with a single wick type and size? The cotton 91 suggested on the website is not big enough. Thank you!
What size wick do you use in a 9oz jar ?
For which wax. Wax is the biggest factor of wicks
Hi thanks for responding the wax is 464 the wick I have it burn to much I think cause sometimes my jar be burned at the top an I know that’s not how it’s SUPOSE to be lol
The wax is 464 jar is 9oz
Thanks for the great content. Are those labels ones you've designed yourself in Canva? I have Canva Pro but have never seen any in that style/size when I search for candle labels. Thanks! Carrie.
Nope.... I show in the video that they are templates provided by oliicraft when you purchase the tins. They give several well done templates. :)
@@BlackTieBarn ah got it! thanks so much for your swift response. Have a great day!
Wade I'm unfamiliar with the fragrance and there's no link to bees? Fragrance company, can u send me a link?
Little Bees Scents. :)
Hi, what is the name of the company where I can purchase the tin cans for my candle business?
Olii craft. Link on the video description. :)
Is the mocha close to CS's bronze lids by any chance? It's hard to tell online and I've been looking where.
Close but not the same. These are more of a fancy mocha than a bronze that I have used. But close.
❤❤❤❤
Question: Wade how many pouring pitchers do you use when making your candles and I've seen in other videos that you just wipe them clean with a papertowel. When I try and do this I feel like some of my FO residue gets left behind. Any suggestions on how to clean in between FO's or do you just use separate pitchers? Thank you in advance for your response. Great video as always.
Hi Debra, sorry I missed this before. Some comments just get buried. I just clean the hot wax out, use heat gun to reheat if necessary. And occasionally use alcohol or mineral oil if I think it needs a bit more cleaning. But you are often going to still smell a bit of the prevous scent, it doesn't transfer though. Give it a good wipe down hot and you are fine.
Those came out nice. I didn't quite catch the product you used for the color, and I didn't see it listed in the description. And how long did you wait until testing the candles?
Candle science liquid dyes. Although there are lots of good dyes. I tested these the next day. Again, though, keep in mind these were to try out the tins more than anything. It would take longer to dial in the right wick type/size etc.
@@BlackTieBarn Thank you very much for posting this and responding to my questions. I really appreciate it.
