Thank you so much for reviewing my candles!!! I was so nervous and didn’t know what to expect because I’m still in testing face. Very grateful for kind words 🙏
@@mariahcrites534 of course, I’m using the zinc core size 51-32-18 and if it’s to big the next size down is 44-36-18 and 44-24-18 I like them all, they work great with most of my oils, minus the mushrooming 😩
I wish you were in my kitchen helping me with my candle making process!!! I really appreciate all your help and I hope very soon to be able to send you my candles for review.
Beautiful candle. You are so awesome for this! I can't wait to send you one of mine. You are so thorough with your information/reviews. Thanks so much!
Hello Wade !! Thank you 😊 so much for reviewing my candles, I’m so excited 😆 !!! I didn’t know what to expect because I still have a long way to go . Just want to say thank you for your kind words and liking my “limousine in Hollywood “ candle 🤣🤣🤣❤️
i was wondering since you said to ask you a question if i had one. i want to go with bees wax with coconut. should i also have another wax that is natural and clean burning tyvm
Holy cow! I was the first like!?!?! Nice job, Wade. You're an awesome inspiration. I've been testing for months and going to all the legal stuff. It's exciting!
Zinc core wicks are super underrated. They burn cooler which makes for a more efficient burn cycle. I'm inclined to think that wicks like premier wicks and other wicks with a cotton core are so popular because they are so forgiving. It's not hard to dial it in when they burn so hot they rarely get mushrooming. It's easy to pat yourself on the back when the wick burns like the sun and wax and fo funnels up the wick so fast and burns so hot, but really it's overkill. Zinc takes more finesse and easily one of the harder wicks to work with but, in my experience, the best. I use an all natural beeswax and coconut blend by the way.
Great video! Do you think the Amber Noir is from CS too? I'm surprised it's so good at 6006. I have been using it on 464 wax and it has a very weak HT but is still a customer favorite
@@BlackTieBarn Thank you! I think CS's Amber Noir smells identical to Voluspa's Baltic Amber, which smells great but doesn't have a good HT either. In case you're wondering, Voluspa uses a coconut wax blend. So I guess, I must accept that it is a weak fragrance lol
I have trouble learning what wicks are what when trying to order wicks.. What are WI 767 Wicks? Are they apart of Premiere wick series? I feel like I need a course on learning all these wicks lol…
Yes WI and Premier are the same. Just go by different names from supplier and manufacturers. Most wicks have consistent names. This is an exception. :)
Well I had thought about sending you 1 of mine to review but I'm to ashamed to after seeing these candles. These are beautiful. Mine looks horrible compared to these lol! Very beautiful!
Oh don't be. I'll be reviewing candles of all sorts. Beginners and those who've been making a long time. We all start from the same place. It's how we learn. :)
Well I use the 8oz jelly jars so mine aren't as elegant as I would like them to be but I will get there 1 day. I have only been in this business 14 months ago I'm still a newbie lol. But I also make dessert wax melts (looks like donuts n cupcakes) and I design those better than candles lol.
You did it all by yourself and you should be proud of it!!! We all have different ideas, different approach , different vision for our brand, you worked hard to create them and you should show them of to the world!!!
This makes me want to send you my scented rapeseed candles from Belgium, too :-D But it would be such a hassle to ship across the ocean, and you have some many candle makers on your continent, that I'll hold off. Enjoying your videos!
Yep. Little combustion process. Lots going on with airflow, fuel consumption, etc. A little is fine and normal. If it's so much that it's wafting smoke and soot all over... not good
hello, new subscriber here. i was wondering if you ever tried wooden wicks that were not from the wooden wic company. due to cost i was wondering if the wooden wics on amazon will work ? thanks for your time
I have but to be honest.... its a touch area. Whether we like it or not, The Wooden Wick Co has a patent in the U.S. on wooden wicks now so most of what you are buying is actually made by them. OR.... you can get in a sticky situation potentially. So personally... when I'm using wooden wicks, I just go to the source now. Not ideal, but its the world we live in currently. Lol. By the way, thanks for subbing and being here! :) 😀
@@BlackTieBarn no problem! thank you for all your information you give. looking forward to more videos. could i bother you one more time? if im testing wicks using wickless method, how long after pour do i have to wait untill i can add my first wick and start testing?
@@Jtrevino349 Of course, no bother! As far as wickless testing you would want to wait like you want a standard candle to start testing. You can add wick whenever you want, but Id test the same time after pouring you would a regular candle. Depends on the wax, but anywhere between a couple days and up to a week or 2. But... I'm not a fan of wickless testing for several reasons. Ill link a video below where I talk about this. It doesn't mean you can't, just not something I generally recommend. Hope it helps! th-cam.com/video/Nw5c5wej6cw/w-d-xo.html
I wish I would have seen this video a month ago! I have been testing and testing and testing and can not find the right wick for my vessel of a similar size. This definitely gave me some pointers that I haven't heard yet!
Anyone in need of C-6 wax or hemp soy? I bought some for testing but have found the wax for my line and i’ll have no choice but to toss them if no one wants them. Lmk if interested!
Lol sorry man. I have some shorter but I hear ya. I just get into it so I keep going sometimes. I like info and details. 🤣😂 I find most are shorter but full of fluff which irritates me. Mine are more like courses. 😁🤣😅
Thanks. I will definitely work on some being more concise! Some are going to be longer and not a whole I can do (if there is a lot to cover)... but I can definitely improve many by shortening them a bit. I just hate leaving stuff out and just leafs to more questions and people asking why I didn't cover this or cover that. 🤣 Thanks for the feedback man!
Thank you so much for reviewing my candles!!! I was so nervous and didn’t know what to expect because I’m still in testing face. Very grateful for kind words 🙏
No problem! :)
Can I ask what size wick you used? Been struggling to find a good wick for my vessel with 6006

I get mine from Aztec and The Flaming Candle
@@anwaarcandleco5054 good to know. Thank you so much! Your candles are beautiful!!

Haha! I wish I could. Would be fun!
The jars and the branding look amazing. Thanks for sharing Wade!
Of course!
Thank you so much for your kind words ❤️
Absolutely love these videos, awesome job!!!!
Thanks! I appreciate that!

You are so welcome!
I'm so glad you said that about the zinc wicks they have been band since the early 70s
Only led has been bad (for good reason) Not zinc though. They are fine and still very popular
Super informative! You sure know your wicks. Thanks.
No problem!
I love your videos and very informative too.
I love Zinc wicks and Premier too in 6006. My CT is not always the best using zinc. Thanks so much Wade
Np! Thanks Tawana!

It IS exciting! Thanks for being here and the feedback! :)
Another great video, as always. But did I miss what wicks were used? Or should I say what were Wade’s educated guesses on what wicks were used?!
Honestly can't remember. I'd have to go back and look

It was definitely the lesser of the two HT. I was fine but I agree overall Amber noir is pretty week in general.
Hi, this is a custom blend , mix of a few different oils from CS, not the original Amber Noir scent that they carry. I always loved that name
@@anwaarcandleco5054 OK, now I understand, your candles look great and there is nothing better than creating your own fragrances!
@@BlackTieBarn Thank you! I think CS's Amber Noir smells identical to Voluspa's Baltic Amber, which smells great but doesn't have a good HT either. In case you're wondering, Voluspa uses a coconut wax blend. So I guess, I must accept that it is a weak fragrance lol
@@Aroma-xk1mt thank you so much 😊
Today I experienced some fragrance leakage from the small candle I made!!! 😩😩😩 first thought was I can’t send wade that one!! ✨
😆 it happens
What a helpful video!!!!

Why do candle flames flicker a bit? Is that normal?
Yep. Little combustion process. Lots going on with airflow, fuel consumption, etc. A little is fine and normal. If it's so much that it's wafting smoke and soot all over... not good
@@BlackTieBarn thank you for your help! It just flickers , no sooting or smoke. :)

Hi there, how do I send you my candles and wax melts? I’m launching on 06/27 and would love an honest review!
Hi! Congrats. Shoot me an email to youtube@blacktiebarn.com :)
@@BlackTieBarn thank you, will do!
I cannot wait until I'm able to send you a PR kit my friend :)
Me too ! :)

Happy to help Mariah! The starting out and testing phase is certainly time consuming and can get frustrating sometimes
can i send you some of my candles for review
Responded to your other one. :)
@@BlackTieBarn ok thanks
Yeah, sorry that's what I meant lead wicks have been banned since the '70s
Oh, yes sir!

I love the jars where did they get those black jars if you can tell me. Thank you I watch you all the time. Im learning alot from you. 💓
I am not sure unfortunately. Try Aztec maybe? Hopefully they will see your comment though. :)
I love your videos but I want to say, I never really finish them because they are too long. Maybe I’m ADHD. Lol
