I'm launching my business today and honestly, I couldn't have done it without you. And also your wicks LOL
Thanks Kathleen and good luck!
How is the business?
Just what I needed. Length and general Information was perfect. Thank you Sir.
You're welcome
Thanks Wade! just what we were looking for!
Thank you, love the concise crash course approach!
I love how your videos are so concise. I used to make candles and it took time for the learning curve. I did love it. Thanks. ❤
Had a friend once who made candles and i have great ideas so thanks in advance my friend. ❤
Your vlogs are so informative. I have learned so much from you. thank you so much
Thanks Cheryl!
Making candles for a living just crossed my mind and i stumbled across your video.
candles and torch been around forever. if the electricity go out people use candles
There’s so many multi millionaires that only sell candles if you can manage to be successful in selling candles you’re pretty much set for life
Well done! Wonderful overview, concise, and to the point.
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed!
Thank you for sharing. It was very informative.
Thank you so much! Very grateful 🙏
Np problem
absolutely, great content!
Ty!
As always, awesome
Thanks Laurie!
Thank you so much I’m forever grateful for your info ! 🥰🙏🥳
No problem
Great video! Thanks!!
Thanks!
Wow thanku so so much
Im just a normal dude that loves colognes, but after spraying colognes in my room (because i have too many i dont use) im interested in making my own fragrances through candles maybe my own fragrances, this video really helped me out, thank you
New subscriber, amazing
The most difficult aspect of candle making is finding the right wick. It can be so frustrating to test many brands, their recommended sizes and the sizes above and below, yet still not be able to find a wick that works as it should.
I agree. Wicking is the most frustrating for sure
Use "twine"
You can make your own!
What brand would you recommend?
And what soak in wax?@@avomitousmass
thank you 🙂
No problem!
Your thumbnail for the ‘All About Wicks’ video always cracks me up! 😂 Thanks Wade!
And bring back Alan!!!!!!
🤣 thanks
Lol. You like Alan I take it
@@BlackTieBarn Absolutely!!!!
رائع جداً جداً جداً شكراً لك و تحياتي لك من سورية من دمشق الياسمين لك ❤
😁
Awesomeeee
Ty!
very helpful
Great overview in a small amount of time! :)
Thanks Don. It was fun
@@BlackTieBarn Welcome to my world lol. It's a blast watching all your videos!:) Even in little bitty living spaces 😂😂
Thanks
Hey wade. Hope all is well.. let me start by saying that I'm huge fan of your channel because you put out great contents and it helps quite well so I always watched your videos a lot. Here is question. When using dye in my candles, should I wick up one step just to compensate for the the dye? Also, I use ( IGI 6006 wax ) with your premier 765 wick in 3" jar and 760 in 2" 7oz jar. I normally use 4-6 drops of dye in the wax . I realized that I have mushrooms build up in about 1.5-2 hours. But the hot throw is good using these size wicks.
This IGI 6006 is better than straight paraffin wax because it doesn't give that smoke as paraffin wax gives, so I'm happy using it in my candles. It also gives good colors and little to no sinkhole in a single pour.
Hi there Wade great overview!! Well I did it I got my kit and follow their directions.. so I do have a question …. On their directions it was stated 1 pound of wax would make 3 jars I got in the kit well…. I measured 1 lb and as it was melting I thought this isn’t enough for one jar.. I added two more lbs and only got two jars.. 🤷♀️ it is Soy wax in chip form it didn’t say what kind of soy wax though.. I’m going back to view your video on the formula about measuring of wax before I make more .. you are right I’m addicted.. can’t wait to make more.. waiting a few days before lighting the two I made to see they burn etc…can you say testing?😜as always thanks so much for sharing your wealth of information!!!
Love your videos, Wade! Question for you... how are you doing white in your black labels? Is it white ink and are you printing yourself? Labels seem to be a bottleneck for me these last few months.
Nah that's hard to do yourself. I use a print lab to actually print them. My suggestion is to get samples from various print companies. Then find a style you like and base your design around that. :)
Amazing video thank you. My lady is starting up her own business and making candles but we are hitting a small problem with the wax. It continues to crack on top and inside. Is there any tips to fix this problem?
When pouring the wax, make sure there’s no air or when it sets it’ll go all funny!
My wooden wicks burn out & the candles don't burn down. What do I do to improve this.
would like to know if you ever did a review on acu soy#10 soy wax xant seem to find one thanks
Not yet. But plan to
Thank you for your video. My question is where can I buy the jars that you are showing in your video please?
I use several but I think you are referring to 9oz pr medium straight sided jars. Candle science the flaming candle, system bottling, etc.
@@BlackTieBarn Thank you very much. Hopely they shipped to the Netherlands!🤗
i appreciate your videos. Most of them cover the candle making part but can you make a video for those of us who would like to know how you do the marketing? for your website, using google seo, etc.. I dont live in the US but it would help me alot to get started. And where are most of your sales from? online website? spotify, etsy, facebook, retailers.
Thank you. I can try but it's really not my strongest point. Lol. I like to bring in others to help with those kind of videos. Most my sales are website and wholesale/private label clients.
What is a good dye to use? Everything I have tried so far fades when it solidifies. I use 6006. TIA
Wax is opaque so it will of course be a lot lighter when added and cooked in wax. That's normal. Uh can try using more dye but it's only going to get so vibrant because the dye is mixed with wax. I've had good luck with dyes from candle science and natures garden.
Hi Wade!!! What’s the color stabilizer do you used?
Just uv inhibitor
If you using plastic container how can you pour the wax
Where can I order the centering tool you use in the video? Thank you!
The one in the video was from csndle science. But I've started using a new one I love from a small business. Us they have matching wick clips that are amazing. Here is a link. Lots of color options too and great price!
nordencandlesupply.com?sca_ref=1972485.DlZFh8FQu5
hello. Quick question. What i the additive yo use in your candles? I use a soy/veggie blend. Thank you
Only two o have really used are UV inhibitor if coloring your candles (optional) and vybar for certain wCes, nut usually not needed either.
@@BlackTieBarn Thank you
This video was perfectly timed with the break in the Johnny Depp trial...............was that planned?
Nope. Lol
Thank you! Good video as usual! Is it a good time to start selling candles? or wait until the economy gets a bit better? Are people buying?
If your candle is not over-priced and is made well, they should sell. Perhaps not as quickly given the current economic situation in many countries, but people still do like the odd treat every now and then. :)
@@amandag5072 Thank you for your response Amanda! it helps me in making my decision :-)
I wouldn't wait on external factors to be ideal. They never will be. Besides if you can get started now.. it just gets easier. ;)
Hi,let's say what if you buy a candle dye in my case a liquid dye[from a candle making supplier] and when you ad it in your wax.... the wax starts to boil.What can I do?
Wax shouldn't boil. If that's happening I would lower temp or stop using that dye. Never seen thst happen
@@BlackTieBarn Thank you.Kind as always
Hi,
Can you share the website shown for all the jars please
The website shown in this video was candlescience.com but there are TONS of options
I want to get resources for it
Hi, Black Tie Barn my name Antonio i live in Australia sorry if late I would like to know when measuring Ounces or Grams as well as Mls are they the same all over the world or do they change from place to place again for disturbing you I Apologise for the time difference, Hoping you help me
The measurements are the same. But different areas of the world use different scales or units of measurement. For example, oz vs grams. But grams are grams.
Hello brother I'm dying here to start up my candle business please do you organize classes for people who are willing to learn and start up a candle business?
Not yet. But working on it. :)
Hi , what’s the best place to buy jars ? Thanks
There really isn't a best place. So many good ones all over. To save on shipping, finding something local is the best option.
Can you please send me a couple of places to start ? I can't find where to buy black jars or clear jars really . Thanks
@@BlackTieBarn can you send me a couple of suppliers to find jars ? Thanks
@@liamshahine240 Sure. Candle Science, Lonestar, Natures Garden, Flaming Candle, SKS Bottling, Fillmore Container, Makesy, 1617, Amazon, etc.
@@liamshahine8557 Candle Science, Lonestar, Natures Garden, Flaming Candle, SKS Bottling, Fillmore Container, Makesy, 1617, Amazon, etc.
Did you add your dye to your candle jar?
Nope. To the melted wax before putting the candles. :)
@@BlackTieBarn oh! 😂 I was like well that's different, haha. I had to go back and look again lol.
I want to make a candle for myself, one little candle, but I don't know if there's any wax alternative that I could possibly have at home, I can't but anything right now😢
I'm having trouble with my candle making I keep getting Frost all over the candle what am I doing wrong
Nothing. Sounds like you are using soy wax which is a characteristics of soy. You blend in other waxes to help
Thanks for responding to my question I figured out what I was doing wrong I watched one of your videos how to make candles I had to temperature wrong
Why mot use regular cotton threads?
I'm not an expert but I've used the wrong wicks and got more of a flamethrower than a candle.
What happened to the testing step!!!!
Other than that is was on target.
Lol. Yah this was on overview on how to make one. Not product development, testing, sounds, etc. Just the basic steps of making one. Testing is after making. And I have a ton of videos talking about testing, lol. Probably mention it too much... if that's even possibly. Lol
Oh.. I was hoping i could do it with candles, perfume and hemp.
That looked like Peak candle dye.
Nope. Candle.scienxe
I am going to start and I feel like peoples try to triple or quadruple their money by charging to much. Small 5$, med 7$ and larg 10$. Stay tuned.
Fragrance oil is soooo addictive 🥴🤣😩
🤣🤣 yep
