We don’t use the same wax or vessels but I love that you’re so transparent to other candle makers. Too many people are secretive as if it’s going to change someone’s brand 🖤
I’ve had SOO many people ask me if I’m worried about giving out so much information. I always respond with nope! It doesn’t matter how much information I give out, NO ONE will be able to take my brand away from me ❤️
@@MemoryBoxCandleCo And not everyone is you :) One of a kind!
Completely agree! I built my business and teaching channel all based on transparency! Just like Erica, I get asked all the time why I would give away information. And why i give so many details. Well, It's a big world... Plenty of business to go around. Plus... I just like helping others. And so does Erica. 😁
I agree
@@BlackTieBarn Thank you, you guys are amazing!
Without this formula I don't know how I would have gotten this far. I have never used any other method. Thank you because I don't know how I would survive any other way. Thanks Erica!
Ahh Yayy I’m so glad it works for you! Thank you so much for watching!!
What percentage do you suggest of fragrance if your wax only takes up to 6%? It says it could take a higher fragrance load with a blend? I use nature C3.
I would do 6%, and if you want to add more I would do so very carefully and only by a little bit and do lots of testing. Using too much FO than your wax can hold can cause a lot of issues. Or you could play around with blends as it suggests!
Ok.. thank you!
This lady knows what she is talking about and I’m only on my second video. New subbie here! 🤩
When I first watched your "candle math" video I literally thought I was going to CRY! Then I calmed down and watched it again and I was like, "Ooohhhhh....I get it!" Now it's pretty easy! Thanks!
Ahhh well I’m so so glad you get it now! That’s huge! ☺️❤️
Nice job Erica. The tins look great! Love the color theme (obviously). 😁
Hey thanks! 😁
Watchung from the UK....Love your honesty and the help you are giving us all, thankyou (who on earth is giving you a thumbs down ? How rude !!)
Hi Erika, very nice burning candle! No drastic flame, no flickering, just beautiful! I always use wooden wicks in my tins. I think you were smart to go with two small wicks verses one large wick. It really keeps your sides nice and burnt down correctly. I bet you get a very nice hot throw from these little beauties!
Jill
Thank you!
Hello, beginner here Thank you so much for the information. I have been watching your videos all week and getting my materials ready to start my journey. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I love your black matte tins ! I have similar , but with a gold rim . They are pricey but the quality is worth it . I love how you are so open and honest and have tried and true methods .... I'm terrible at math and actually determine how many ounces my candles are by having a boiling pot that has the inside listed ( 200 ml 300 600 etc so I know when I make my 9.5 oz candles the melted soy will say *roughly* 300ml in my boiling pot . Also I've seen some candle makers marketing their candles by BURN TIME not by ounces which I think is brilliant.
Érica you are so sweet and sincere. Thanks so much for showing us how to make candles and be so precise. I work full time and i barely have time to experiment. You help out a lot. It’s so hard to try to balance both. I’m hoping that I can successful as you. I’m trying 😔
Thank you so much for watching, you can do it! ❤️
My 6oz Candles arrived today! Seamless shipping, super quick! Made my mailbox smell amazing too!
Oh yayyy! Thank you so much for purchasing! ☺️💜
@@MemoryBoxCandleCo haven’t been disappointed yet! So far tried The DJ, Autumn Air, Vinyasa Flow and Malibu Coffee Shop.
I recently started making candles and decided to try a wax blend with soy and tw30 😊 I am using a different soy than you, but this video helped me know I am on the right track 💛 Thanks so much!!
Awesome!! ☺️
Oh wow thank you so much for the video a week ago I was just Struggling with making my 6oz tins 😇
This was very helpful. I am starting off with 8oz tin candles with 6 oz fill for my new business. Thanks for the information!!
Thank you so much Erica! You're so sweet and generous sharing all the info..
I just ordered 8oz tins to make my 6oz candles and I am so excited! Thank you so much for this tutorial 😊
Yayyy you are so welcome! Thank you so much for watching! ❤️
Erikca you're so helpful! I'm trying to start out of South Korea and I love how transparent you are! You're literally an angel! 화이팅!!!!
Thank you so much for the formula! ❤
This is helping so many people! I did have a question though, since TW-30 has a fragrance load of up to 18%, how would you figure out the max fragrance load for your blend? Thank you so much!
eco 1?......two eco 4's barely got to a full melt pool after 2h for me, using same tin, i am so confused!
With every video I watchby you, you pursuade me more and more to get back into candle making 😂
Is possible to use one wick in this container with out using 2 wicks ? I tried 1 wick but I don’t get a full melt pool I feel like 2 wicks is too much for this container 😯
Thankyou for the demonstration and informative video.
I enjoy watching your videos.
As usual your videos are awesome. Thank you for being so kind and for always helping out with your tips. God bless you 🙏🏼❤️
Just want to say, you’re amazing!! Your videos are so very helpful 🙌😭🙏
You are the best! ❤
Thank you! So clear and perfect!!!
Thank you so much, Erica! You rock!
Just ordered Eco 1 to try, we can't get them here in Canada such a pain but I really wanted to try cause my test with 2 eco 2 was to hot. Thanks for your wonderful helpful videos.
My comment has nothing to do with candle making. Your face is such a breath of fresh air. PS I am a straight female.
Wow how sweet is this comment! Thank you so much! ❤️
Thank you for sharing! Love your candles (I’ve bought a couple)! Question: is there a reason why you use two separate scales instead using one for both wax and FO?
I am not sure why Erica does it, but I use a smaller gram scale for my fo be sue I feel like with measuring such a small amount, it is more accurate 🙂
I feel that the smaller scale is more accurate (even though the larger scale can measure in 1.0 grams, I just feel like it’s not as quick to show me the weight) ❤️
I love all of your videos. You are one of the few ladies that inspired me to join the candle making business. I wanted to know how long is the cure time. I remember one of the video your cure time isn’t as long as the other ladies due to your blend? I don’t want to wait 2 weeks for it to cure. I love candles.
Thank you so much for this video. I been had my supplies but the math was holding me back 😩🙌🏾🥰
I should’ve watched this video before I just made my candle 🤦🏾♀️ thanks for the explanation
No worries! Keep experimenting! My way is not the only way ❤️
@@MemoryBoxCandleCo thank you
Very informative, thank you for this
another great video - thanks for sharing your tips - very helpful.
Thank you so much Erica for share with us your wonderful videos!! Really I love it! ♥️
Thank you so much for watching! ❤️
thank you so much for another fab video. xx
very very helpful, thank you so much. By the way i Love your name
Net weight refers to the total weight of the net contents inside the jar (not including the jar weight) so net weight is the combined weight of the wax and FO
I'm not really having much luck with my smaller jars or my small tins, I seem to have a nice burn however I'm not getting any hot throw at 8% FO. I'm using Parasoy wax with a SV400 wick (I know this isn't going to mean anything to you Erica lol, I don't think they are sold in the US). Maybe I'll try going up a bit with my FO level, if that doesn't work then maybe I'll try some 464 or C3 and see that helps, all I know is it's very frustrating after I've just cracked my 30CL jars and got them smelling nice, I was hoping I could just transfer the formula and change the wick but despite getting a nice flame, that's all I'm getting.
Thank you 😊
Love this ! Thank you so much for sharing ❣️
Thank you for watching! ☺️
Great video! I learned a lot.
What’s size labels do you use for the 8oz tins?
Hello, I love your vlog so much good information. Keep up the good work. May I ask what size labels you use I want to try side labels to give a different look? I normally use 2inch glossy white on the top.
Thank you for sharing with us❤️
Thank you for watching! 💜
Hi Erica, I'm about to start my own candle business with my girlfriend and you've been a great help to us in clearing up some doubts. However, there is a doubt to which we are not clearly clarified. What is the importance of measuring the temperature of the wax?
Hope you can help us.
Thanks and keep the good work.
I can't wait to smell your candles 😍
Hi, first thing first your videos are really helpful. Thank you.
I have a question regarding eco 1. Could I use 2 Eco 2 in the same tin?
Thank you so much for making these videos! They help me so much!! I have one question, they sell fragrance oil in ml in my country, so how do I know how much i need to buy because I’m not sure how much gram 1 ml is. :)
That is what I have a problem with when it comes to making candles. The math/science part of how much wax to fo. They should have a cheat sheet for this.
Right? I still have no clue how to multiply 100% LOL
If you go to the App store type in candle wax calculator. I believe there are YT videos showing how to use them as well. 🙂
Thank you .x
Nice . I will review and review this video
Hey, Erica! Thanks for the tips! Question, what temperature is best to add in the fragrance oils and pouring?
How long should I wait to let settle down the candle ?
Thank you for sharing
can you do a video explaining label requirements TIA
Very cool love ur vids!!!
Hi Ericka! This is a great video, thank you for your thorough explanation. :) Question: the wick that you cut, do you reuse it for other tin jars? Like add the metal holder to the cut wick and use it so you're not just throwing that away? I'm debating getting super long wicks and doing that with the excess I cut off.
You can same them and use them for wickless testing too! ❤️
Hi Ericka! I wonder that should I let the candle "rest" in a few day before buring or I can burn it right after it cool? Thank you for your amazing video
I leave my candles to set for a week minimum :)
A lot of people let their candles cure for 1-2 weeks!
great video Erica! I’ve learned so much about candle making & the science behind it thru your videos. quick question, at what temp do you pour your fragrance oil? i’ve watched some vids where ppl use “the lower the better” method.. but im trying to figure out which is more effective? i’m using natural soy wax
185ish! It needs to be hot so that it can bind with the oil ❤️
May i ask how your candles look after the 1st burn? I also do a mix and everything is smooth and nice. But after the burn it looks so bumpy.
I love it!! I see that you still have not put the handles on your presto pot!! Lol
Nope 😂
Thank you miss mam beautiful. 🥰
I love your videos! I have a question though. You have pretty basic wax shapes so I'm guessing creating a mold for them isn't a huge deal. What if I want to make really weird shapes like bodies etc, that are NOT on the market tho (so I can't buy a mold model from shein for example), how can I create my own mold model? Do I 3d print it? Or...? Thank you in advance.
Hi Erica, may I know,when the right time to mix the FO into the wax? Thanks before.
Where do you get your tins from?
Thank you for all your amazing knowledge :)
What is the temp you add the fragrance oil and what is your pouring temp?
always add in FO above 185 (usually around 195ish) and we actually don't check pour temp! Just fix FO for about 30 seconds and pour!
You are very good 👍
Hi Erica, Erika here with a ? Did you add fo at 185 degrees
Hi Erica, what wicks you recommend for VERY shallow tins - 3 inch diameter, but very shallow?
I would probably recommend two wicks! Depending on the type of wax, use two wicks in the smallest series size you choose
Hi Erica, Do you have to melt the waxes in two different pots or can you melt them together? Thanks
Hi Erica! I love your channel and what are doing for beginner candle makers like me. It's been great learning from you..please keep doing what you are doing🥰 Question, do you always blend the tart wax with soy waxes? and if not when should it be done?
Thank you so much for watching :)
And this is a very hard question. I know that not all tart waxes are able to be blended with container wax and used in candles. I would refer to the supplier of your tart wax to see if it can be used in candles.
Every single thing I’ve ever done has just been from experimenting and trying things out. You NEVER know unless you try! That’s always my advice- if you are wondering if something will “work” try it! That’s the only way to know ❤️
@@MemoryBoxCandleCo Okay. I'll try it and see. Thanks for replying!
Hi Erica, I use the same type of tins and I find that FO which has vanillin will lead to wax discolouration. How do you mitigate this problem?
Would appreciate your feedback here.
Omg ! I just started making candles and soon will become a business and your videos are sooo freaking helpful , I have been watching them daily . I do have a question what temperature did you pour your oil into the wax ? How did you know you didnt go pass the flashpoint ?
Thank you in advance !
Yayy I’m so glad!! And I pour in my FO around 180-190 no matter what oil I’m using! Flash points don’t have anything to do about when you need to add the FO to your wax :)
Check out my video on flash points!
th-cam.com/video/1L_f79W_88k/w-d-xo.html
@@MemoryBoxCandleCo I just watched it and i feel like i just had a huge realization because thats what i been doing wrong , paying attention to the flashpoints so crazy !! THANK YOU SO MUCH , i dont want to ask for too much but i feel like it will really help if you would do a video on Hot Throw if you can .
Thanks for being amazing !
At what temperature do you pour the wax?
LOVE LOVE LOVE your videos! Can we use Soy10 on its own for the tin candles? Also, any thoughts on nature wax C-3?
Thank you!! And I blend my soy 10 with a harder wax, I’m even adding in a little bit of beeswax!
And not sure, I’ve never tried it ☺️
Hi there. I am using C3 and loving it so far.
Erica, you are amazing. Your videos are inspiring. I’m running into a problem with rough top after burning. I’m using soy wax. We’re using the same wax. Soy. How do you combat this?
Thank you! ❤️
&You’re experiencing rough tops after burning using soy 10 wax?
Memory Box Candle Co
My mistake it’s 464 wax from CandleScience. CalCandle is always sold out. 464 gives me rough tops after burning. Do you have another recommendation for wax from either company?
Can you please post the link for the wick holders?
Hi do you mind telling me what wicks you use for your black jars ??
I’ve always used a different formula and have had issues, definitely changing to this one.
(I have been doing this to get 10% FOL 170x0.1=17g FO 170-17=153g wax) thank you so much for your guidance to the whole candle maker community and sharing your own business formulas, it really helps all of us ♥️♥️
My boyfriends mom and I have been trying to make candles but we haven’t had luck with the fragrance coming through. I’ve tried this formula and I could smell the fragrance in the unlit candle but once it was burning I couldn’t smell anything. Could this be because of the quality of fragrance oil I’m using? Right now we’ve just been testing it out with FO we got at hobby lobby but I’m not sure if it’s that we’re not using a quality oil or if it could be something else. 🖤🖤
Tysm your videos have been so helpful and inspiring 🥰
There are MANY factors that can contribute to HT. However, I would definitely try using FO’s from either candlescience or the flaming candle. Hobby lobby fragrances are the best quality. However that’s just one piece of the puzzle. What wax, wicks, jar diameter size are you using?
What other wicks would you recommend as the eco 1 you have listed above seems to be out of stock. Would a double wick CD-8 be too hot?
I use the CD wicks and double wicking with CD-8 in a 3 inch diameter tin will be WAY too hot for the soy wax I use. Depending on which wax you use (I use Golden 464) then you will need to use CD-4 or smaller for a double wick on a 3 inch container.
Hi, question. Do I need to wait for the wax to cool down before pouring the fragrance oil? Because here in the phippines, (based on the tutorial that I watched) They melt the wax at 180 F, Pour the Fragrance oil at 140 F then pour it to the vessel at 100 F. I hope you can reply :) Thank yoi!
Hey I'm interested in making candles but would like to start off with the tin jars any advice?
Do you guys still buy the wax from the same supplier or have you found new wax suppliers?
what wax formula are you currently using? how much bees wax do you u add? TIA
Hey Erica! Thanks so much for this video! Quick question, do you do the container and tart wax blend for just your tins or is it also for your larger vessels as well? If so, is it the same percentages as you mentioned in this video 32% + 68% or something a bit different?
I do a 50/50 blend for my larger containers! ❤️ (I’m also experimenting with adding 5% beeswax)
Any issues with rusting? Ive seen some people say with some oils you get rusting.
If I want to do 8% fo then I should divide by 108%?
I wanna have a business like yours for my college. :)
Is it more beneficial to use grams over ounces?
Hi, i want to ask, fill weight / net weight is a liquid wax in a jar?
and if you used soy 444 it works the same for me?
Thank you for this great video! Where do you purchase the Soy 10 Wax and do you find it has a better HT than Soy 464?
I've tried both and soy 10 had a much better hot throw for me. Also a much prettier, less cratering wax.
After you poured it in the jar, where did you put jar? Should I freeze it in the freezer or in the fridge? And thank you so much
No no definitely don’t do that. You have to leave it to solidify at room temperature for the next 3-5 hours at least
@@MemoryBoxCandleCo Thank you so much 🤍
Do also add beeswax to your blend?
so i just did 155 x 6 and came up with 930g of wax. becuase i am making 6 candles and they are 8oz is that correct
Yay 💙
Where are you getting the fill weight (170g) from?
Is this the formula you use also for the bigger candles as well?!? I missed out on the soy 10 restock :/
Why do you have to used 2kinds of wax im confused will you expalin to me
