  • We all know the important of a strong scented candle. Hot throw is king in the world of candles. But what makes a strong scented candle, or... what affects how well we smell a candle? What should a candle maker focus on to improve hot throw?

    Now this is hands down the best advise and I wish it was out there sooner... Choose good quality fragrances but choose the ones you like, NO OVERTHINKING... Your buyers will dictate which one you'll keep in your candle line anyways... Embrace your results as lessons and keep moving forward. Put your product in people's hands because you will be surprised at the amount of thigs we worry about and people don't even notice. Do use the feedback and slowly improve over time.
    Great job as always Wade!

      👍So true more isn’t always better. Some scent oils are not good even though they’re sold for candles. One big candle we made had lots of scent oil but it just made the candle wax burn up quicker in a kind of tunnel down the center. We make them just for us but it’s so disappointing.

    3. Type of wax
    4. Fragrance oil quality
    5. Fragrance load, recommend size of the room.

    7. Process consistency
    8. Cure time.

    It took me years to understand that candle making isn’t just melting and pouring.
    There are a myriad of variables to consider.

    Thank you so much! I learned so much from this video! I've been making and selling candles for several years and I knew most of what you said. But, the WAY you said several things really resonated with me. For instance - when you said the diameter/size of the jar would impact scent throw... That is so obvious but was a duhh moment for me. Historically I've only offered one size jar (12 oz status jar) but I'm currently experimenting with 4 oz tins and the 9 oz straight sided. I'm excited to share the tips about location/environment along with proper sized candles. Thank you!

    I can’t remember how many waxes I went through over the years of learning how to pour a candle I would buy. Each one was better than the one before. I’ve finally found the perfect wax that is luxurious, so very easy to work with, economical and the supplier is close to my state. I’ve found GEMS of FO from several suppliers, however I only have a few fragrances that are not blends. I LOVE blending fragrances and I will probably have fragrances that won’t smell like other chandlers candles. I absolutely document the percentages and fragrances of each oil I use. I perform four different tests which take place over a two week period and learn something from each test and note anything that stands out. Thank you for taking the time to record this video, Wade! This is a great video too!

Anyway I'm hearing so much about testing the different components, but I don't want to end up with a bunch of candles that I won't use. Like my soap making journey and I have so much in our personal use stash i'm planning to put some in the blessing boxes in town. Anyway back to candles. I want to use pint size mason jars ( I've saved because not suitable for canning) and soy wax. Should I just make one candle with each sample wick until I get the melt pool right? Then one for each fragrance once I have the wick right? I would like to figure out a game plan instead of making a bunch and having them not be useable. Thanks

    Hi Wade, great video.. couple questions if u don’t mind.. what size jar would say you should start double wicking at? Also, my husband and I use soy wax for our candles and I’ve noticed some have a great hot throw others not so much I’m wondering if we should switch waxes? Any suggestions?? Thanks again!!

    • @BlackTieBarn
      @BlackTieBarn  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Soy is more picky on oils, true. But it's up to you if you'd rather try more oils or deal with switching waxes. Totally up to you. Switching waxes can be a pain though so if it's mostly working well, I wouldn't want to change.
      Double wicking... usually around 3.25" or so

I’ve tested all my fragrances before selling, and for some reason I have fragrances that seemed to have disappeared after curing. They also haven’t been on my shelf that long either. Im stressing out about that. How do I recover from that situation?

    Thank you, Wade, for the great video! My question probably is silly, but what is YOUR favorite wax and types of wicks that go with it? Also, what are your thoughts on blending waxes as it seem to be a “thing” these days?

    • @BlackTieBarn
      @BlackTieBarn  2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      No problem. I really don't have a favorite wax. I know that seems hard to believe but its true. There are things I like and dislike about each. The ones I currently use the most of are problend 600 and igi 6006 if thst helps. Wicks.... it depends on the jar. For pb600, many work wellbut I mostly use premier 700 and eco. For 6006 in jars nder 2.75" I use premier 700 or htp usually. Jars over that....Definitely double wick. 6006 can be tricky to wick

    Hi wade! I Found your video and I can’t seem to figure out this issue I’m having with my scent throw. I made a batch a few months ago with 8% fragrance oil load, the scent throw was great! I just made another tester this week of the exact same candle, same fragrance oil but I did 9% load, same process, jar, wick all of it! And my tester has no scent throw. After going through everything the only thing I can think of is my fragrance oil might have expired? So my question is would an expired fragrance oil have no scent throw?

    • @BlackTieBarn
      @BlackTieBarn  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Bethany. That is strange and I've experienced it too. I doubt the oil expired unless it was several years old. And that usually wouldn't cause no throw. Most likely just a rancid type smell. But.. its possible.
      Usually it's one the of the following:
      The supplier or Manufacturer changed the oil. For example, I've had oils become much worse after it was re-engineered. A few candle science oils I stopped using after they were reformulated to the new "clean scent" branding. The throw wasn't there anymore. So it's worth asking them.
      It can also be changes in the wax if your having issues with multiple scents. It can also be your process. Did anything else change? Temp add FO at, or anything else?

    This was my first time using parasoy and I was excited it would have a strong CT

    Hi Wade,
    Today is day one for me on my Candle Making journey. Just one thing is confusing me from everything I've seen, listened to and read today - scents.
    I totally agree the scent is probably the most important aspect, so my question is which to use, Essential Oils or Fragrance Oils? I hear you mention Fragrance Oils, but never Essential Oils. I live in the UK and every web site I've looked at for Scents seems to be all about Essential Oils, so maybe its a USA versus UK thing, I'm not sure. So any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks, Adrian.

    • @BlackTieBarn
      @BlackTieBarn  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Welcome to the party! :) Definitely fragrance oils. The are designed to be used for this purpose, Better performance, and safe when used correctly. Essential oils are meant to be used in very small amounts, can be very toxic and flammable and not near as strong in candles. You can use them, but typically better sparingly

    • @sallieb6435
      @sallieb6435 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      HiAdrian , you have to be careful with EO as they are highly flammable, if you overload and they seep out they can catch fire. Use fragrance oil specially designed for wax ... try Luxury candle supply in UK , their quality is top shelf

    What are the guidelines for jar size vs room size? Is there anything out there, ie mathematical formula, that states "this diameter sized jar or larger works best for this sized room."

    • @BlackTieBarn
      @BlackTieBarn  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Not really because everyone uses different materials and have different opinions on what is good HT. I just aim for a pleasant smell and strength. I wouldn't use a large 3 wick csndle in small room or bathroom. That's just over powering. But a small 2" diameter candle I wouldn't put in ny kitchen or rec room area because I'll hardly smell it. It's very subjective obviously. It's hard to say a certain size per room though because a wqx like 4627 will be stronger in a 2" jar than most soys in a 3" jar for example

    The cold throw of one of my expensive candles has significantly diminished. I have tried wiping the top of the candle to remove any ‘skin’ that has developed, but found no improvement.
    Can I please ask, if I warm the candle so all the wax liquifies, will this redistribute the fragrance and increase its cold throw?

    • @BlackTieBarn
      @BlackTieBarn  ปีที่แล้ว

      Well there are tons of waxes that HOLD a ton of fragrance But arn't necessarily great at throwing the fragrance. . Paraffin and Parasoy blends will usually be best with hot trow. Start simple and you can tweak and improve as you go. For example, try problend 600 or IGI 6006 with Premier 700 wicks: blacktiebarn.com/collections/wicks
