The flash point is referring to the point at which it would combust when exposed to a flame. The fragrance does not “ burn off” unless the wax was boiling hot. Many people are misinformed on what flash point actually is. In most candle videos I have seen, people speak to flash point incorrectly.
Out of all the tutorials I’ve watched, I’m drawn back to yours! You are very clear and patient, thank you so much!
Chaunika Smith thank you!
You have become my personal tutor.... I am learning so much from you. Thank you....
You may know this by now but I just recently found out the flashpoint on the bottle has nothing to do with the temp of the wax. That’s just the temp in which the fragrance combusts when exposed to an open flame. Jeff Stanley & a few others have videos on this if you want to check them out! Ive thought the exact same thing you did for years now.
The Bubble Bakery yep, you are exactly right!
True but it still makes sense to not put your fragrance in when the wax is super hot so not to accelerate evaporation.
@@KathyM That has nothing to do with why my comment was mentioned. I simply stated what the real meaning of flashpoint is. & even stated I only mentioned it because I myself didn’t know for a while. I never said she should ignore heat all together. Not once.
Wax melts were one of the first things I made when I started making home and body products. I to make my wax melts much stronger than the 5% usual for candles and one of my favourite toppers are small gemstone beads and give the elastic to those that buy many to make a bracelet or necklace or gem chips and also mica, glitter or sugar pearls and tiny shells on one of the beachy Fragrances. Yours look so pretty
Tanya Bonnett they are so fun to make!
Do you have a video on how to make wax brittle? I love how you make the process so easy and don’t go too fast!! ❤️
I'm so glad that I'm not the only one with drummers in my house lol. Love the tutorial...I'm new to wax melts so this is very helpful.
Lacy Johnson occasionally we get the drummers in the background, lol!! I’m glad you found the tutorial helpful!
I was bopping along to the drums in the background lol
Love natures Garden! So happy I only live an hour away and have been lucky enough to meet the amazing ladies that work there! They are a wealth of knowledge ❤️ Love your videos
Carrie Smith that is awesome!
Been looking for a wax melt video for so long now... Thanks
Kaedian Miller you are welcome!
Did you come up with the 20% ratio just by trial and error? Or how did you get that number?
I truly love these cute wax melts, such wonderful ideas you have!
I love your videos so much and they are so helpful and you inspire me to start my own business love you! :)
Zaden Spencer thank you so much for watching!! Keep me posted on your projects!
@@SunshineSoapandCandleCompany i definitely will!
@@SunshineSoapandCandleCompany im so happy that you responded you are such a role model for me!
I'm having problems with my wax melts smelling very strong. I bought 1oz fragrance oil samples from Natures Garden and pillar of bliss wax from them. I used a 1 oz bottle and 8 oz of wax for the tarts. They smell good if I bend down to tart warmer but I definitely don't smell it when I walk in the room. Also after several days I noticed an oily substance on the inside lid (not on the wax melts ). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
AWSOME JOB AND I HAVE LEARN ALOT
So many questions, legitimate questions.. left unanswered.
Not much point in me asking them again then.
those are very pretty i bet they smell wonderful and your video music is so Calming and relaxing thanks for sharing.
marcia mccrorey thank you!
Love, love, love this tutorial! TFS!
Hi! Your candle making video inspired me to make my own scented candle business. Thank you for sharing your experience.
I know that you use Joy wax. Have you tried making wax melts using Joy wax? Thank you.
Ana Manrique thank you! No, joy wax is too soft for wax melts
Thank you for the reply. I appreciate it very much.
Thank you for this fantastic video!
Great video as always!
Question please? Is there a time to use color blocks vs drops?
Or are drops ok for all/most applications. Thank you again! -Momo
Where is the video of the crime brûlée ones? That’s my favorite
Where did u buy your thermometer gun?
Thank you so much for your videos. Do you cure your melts at all & if so how long? Thanks 😁
Good afternoon I really enjoyed your video it’s very detailed of you don’t mind me asking what kind scale is that
I love to make wax melts.
Brand new to wax melts. But I love the idea of having a STRONG wax melt! Can you tell me-on FO from WSP/C.C. they don't list any info about whether they can be used in candles, right. But they do have a flash point listed on the bottles. Does that mean they are wax safe?
Sorry-newbie.
Thank you love to know how to make these
If you meld them at the end, can you use them again when they become cold and hard?
Thank for sharing x
sugar can burn though ? we are not allowed to add sugar strands in the uk because of this.
You’re right shame …Nor can we add 20% unfortunately lol but it would smell beautiful if we could
Do you recommend curing your clamshells for two weeks for the best hot scent throw or do you notice no difference fresh vs waiting
I am curious is that the same sprinkles you use for cake? Thank you,😍
Can you use just any sprinkles for the top?? Or do they have to be a certain kind?? 😊
Who makes the temperature gun you use?
It's a digital thermometer and I bought mine at home depot..
Have you ever tried Problend 650?
How long do you let them cool before its ok to close the clamshells and move them?
Hello!! How long does the fragrance last? ty
I use essential oils in my soaps and lotions. Is it okay to use essential oils in the wax melts?
Can you use any tart and melt wax for the recipe that you’re doing.
How long does your wax melts last? Per cube?
How long can you smell your wax melt after you place in your warmer?
In the Uk (and Europe I believe) we cannot add more than 10% of FO
That’s right. I’m glad we have some regulations here. I can’t even conceive using more than 10% because the scent would be far too strong. Even for soap making, many American makers add WAY more FO than is necessary or should be allowed.
How much oil should I add. And is it okwy to use soy wax
What's the amount of wax for one container of wax melts
Why not break the break before taking it out of the cla¹m shells
Ty so much for this tutorial. I am just beginning my soap/wax melt journey. Can I use the same scents for both soap and wax? Also do you have any idea how long the scent will last in a melter if left on 24/7
You have to make sure they are skin safe but yes
Some candle fragrances cannot be used in soap making. As the previous commenter said, make sure the fragrance says skin safe. Or sometimes they will just say it can be uses in soap making.
What type of scale did you use in the video?
Are those wax sprinkles?
i can barely smell a cold throw is that normal?
Hey did you dad up liking it.
I'm confused on the curing time. In the video you only only cured your melts for 3 days??? When I looked up soy paraffin mix it mentions 7 to 10 days. Would the shorter time be because of size of melts vs. candle???
She seems to take liberties. I’ve never heard of anyone using 20% FO either.
Hi a little confused here. You state that you are adding 5.6 oz of fragrance to 1lb .75 oz of wax at 20% load. Am I mishearing this? 20% would be more like 3.35 oz of fragrance. Am I doing the math wrong?
1.75 lbs is equivalent to 28 ounces of wax, so you would take 28 times 0.20 which is the total percentage load and it comes to 5.60
Thank you. I have a question I am ordering some Joy wax, wicks and fragrance to refill the containers I have, they are 4 inches wide I would like 2 wicks, CD 14 is standard for one wick, should I do the CD 12 or CD 10 ?
Cori Eddings I am not really sure...if it were me I would try two CD 7 wicks first
I have never made and have never used clamshell melts until yesterday lol... how do you take them out 😫. Like take the whole thing out or piece by piece?
Jasmine Steele lol! Take a look at the end of this video, I demonstrated it! But yes you take the whole thing out and break off chunks
Sunshine Soap and Candle Company lol yes I just got through the whole video lol spoke too soon!
hello Sunshine Soap and Candle Company... i really really need your help...how do i compute how much essential oil needed if i try to make a 1000g of soy wax? please help...thank you!
Since pillar bliss soy wax is no longer which should you used?
Hi there, I would reach out to Nature's Garden about when it will be back in stock. I am sure it is just sold out at the moment. I will be experimenting soon with another wax type soon.
Does 1.75 read 1:7.5 on a scale?
Do you let your tarts cure?
Sorry. Just getting to the end of the video
Can I use pillar of bliss for silicone wax molds?
Janelle, I use pillar of bliss with silicone molds without any problem!
@@whitesagemarket110 how much FO
@@daphneyjeanpierre2754 20 percent
Where can I order the max and oils to make my own?
Candle science is a great website to order from but you do have to pay shipping
