Wade you are heaven scent (lol) for me. I was all over the candle world, testing fragrance oils, wicks, jars and went crazy the 1st year. Now I’m in the second year and your advice to step back, breathe and reset was the best advice I heard. I slowed down and restarted and now, my candles are burning great, minimal soot and I’ve made a lot of progress, all because of you. Thanks and keep up the wonderful work.
Your candle math formula is the best! And should be learned by anyone attempting to make a candle. Its a crucial step in knowing how much wax and fo to use in your candle! Wade is the best teacher and makes it understandable. Im so glad I found Wade and his videos when I began researching the process in 2019. I watched all his videoa and took notes. Reqatched when I didnt grasp something. Ordered some supplies and when I pouredmy 1st candle itwas near perfect! No wax wasted, great ht and ct! Wade's videos and teaching saved me money, no wasted supplies, and reduced the stress when first starting out in the world of candle making! Im forever grateful to Wade! Thank you Wade for all that you do! Youre a blessing for sure! ❤
I’m recently divorced, 40 years old, and looking to reinvent myself. I’ve always wanted to do this craft, and learn the art form. This is a great help. Thank you so much.
Wade, your videos are so informative! I’ve been making and selling candles for only 5 months and have learned a ton from you. Still do… 🤷🏽♀ Thanks a bunch!
I really appreciate your videos! When things become too complicated my brain just zones out. You explain things in a way that is approachable and knowledgeable. Thank you!
I’m so thankful I found your channel , I’ve been struggling finding the right wick for my jar and wax and I’m looking into your website now , I feel more encouraged
I’m a CDN wick user but recently switched up my wax blend and decided to try Premiere wicks. Man they are awesome! Thank you for how fast you get them in the mail too!
Love your videos, Wade! I don't even make candles, but I take your business advice and apply it to my handmade business. Thanks so much for being a sane voice amist all the click bait!
Thank you so much for all your videos; I'm hooked! I just retired from the Navy and I am into crafting. I kind of also want to get into a small business mindset instead of just doing this as a hobby. That may be my next chapter of life. 😜😎 I live here in Tennessee and it seems to be a saturated market; which is holding me back. 😱 Thank you for all your information!!
Just to note, candle dyes may change the peformance of your candle. I steer clear of mica as Ive read it may clog the wick and cause problems with he wick burning properly.
I started seven months ago and this video illustrates everything I should have considered/followed 😂 Candles are now great but scent throw is still an issue. I have gone for woodwicks now. Great to have you back x
Thank you Wade. Always enjoy watching your videos. I make soap but so much of your content translates. Especially testing and feedback. And MOST especially your business building videos. Whatever the content, I always watch and appreciate your genuineness.❤
I have coconut wax and soy wax from Hobby Lobby. I haven't made any candles yet. I wanted to test out the different waxes, and so I got tin jars and mason jars to practice on.. your advice of picking the jar you'd want to initially use makes sense.
Thank you very much for this. I’ve been in the testing stage for a few months and settled on two types of vessels and a handful of scents to begin. With the new vessels I’ve noticed what you describe as bumps or cracks so I appreciate the guidance on adjusting pour temp. Thank you for all of your continued advice.
I just subscribed to your channel. All I want to do with my candles is to reuse the wax from candles I previously used. So, I purchased a beginner’s candle kit. I just wanted to combined the different wax . However, this inspires me to try to make candles. Please, help me. I would really appreciate it. Thank you so much ❤
Hello Wade, I haven’t tried candling making yet, but I have purchased wicks and scents. I have quite a few pillar candles that I would like to turn into jar candles. I have been saving jars.
You havent been making very many videos lately. Ive seen like everything you have 5 times.... can we get some more lol i love your videos and personality and intellect thank you
I'm glad I ran into your youtube channel.. Learning a lot about making the candles to make customers happy.. I just go and buy a candle's. I don't even news any. Flaws... I just started making candles this weekend. Four I have foster kittens and raising money for..
Thank you for all of your videos! I’m moving to the USA next year and I’m trying to do some testing right now in the U.K. for when I can move and open my candle business! I feel like I’ll be starting over again when I move to the USA and have to start testing all over again with different products but I’m thankful for all of your advice and love watching your videos!
I've been interested in making candles in ceramic jars. As in coffee mugs type jars. Have you any expirence with this? Do you think the jars would get too hot on the outside?
Love all your content, tips, knowledge which are very helpful for someone like me who recently opened an Etsy store 2 weeks ago, YAYYY 🎉 You were the second I watched after Jasmine from Blk sunflower episode on UpFlip. I can't wait to learn and grow and be as successful as you guys.... slowly but steady💪
It would be nice to have a video on packaging, labels, I'm in Canada, but to know where you recommend customizing boxes, is it worth it, label qualities, textured labels, etc. Jars... do you prefer clear or amber... how do you know which scents to bring in... where do you market research what your customers want... candle science explains scents by state, but we have none of this in Canada. Love your videos.
That's by far the best channel I found on the topi!! Thank you for making all of these information for free :) Will definitely get a consultation with you at some point
Hello, So many videos about candle making that it gets scary and I can't decide!! My passion is to get into the candle making business, so is it fair to say I can definitely follow you!!? Do you have another video for starters using your products. I plan to purchase my products from your store.
I always enjoy watching your videos, I've been waiting for your new video, ever since they stole your equipment. How can I send you my product to review?
Hi , I’m interested in candle making I was disappointed because of some problems I had faced. but finally I found special Channel, May you please add Arabic subtitles if you can, I’ll be grateful
I am considering getting into candle making business, but i have some concerns, to me candle purchase is a personal thing it is based on how one feels when they smell a good candle. How do i market my candles if it an online business and they can't be smelled. Don't know if i have the wrong concept. I am from the Caribbean.
I just watched your videos for beginners. I'm interested to know if you ever blend fragrances. I mean, if I purchase a fragrance from you and it already has a title, wouldn't I have to reference that if I sold it? Thanks Annette
What are some ideas about your soy wax (464) pulls away from the wick a little once it sets up. The tops look good but I don't like what it looks like around the wicks (740). How do I fix this issue?
I have soooooo many different waxes …. Wanted to do soy but soy is not giving me hot throw, so went on to coconut apricot blend and on and on and on. By watching your videos I think im using the wrong wicks. I’m using eco wicks and getting NO HOT THROW at all. Nothing but burning candle smell. Think the eco wicks burn to hot. So here I go down the rabbit hole again, going to order the cdn sample pack from your site. Wish me luck.
Hi every one. New candle maker. Like Wade sayed, do your research. I am trying to find some type of information on wicks, data, specification difference between paper, cotton, zinc, which type burning higher temperature for same size. Good point and bad point. Thanks for your advice
Can I reuse the same jars for testing? After burning then (filling up halfway) can I clean them out and reuse or does that affect the outcome? Thank you for all your advice. Its beens so helpful.
I enjoyed and appreciated your video. However another video I watched of yours you heat the jars and you didn't mention that in this video. How important is that? I do have problems with bubbles and am frustrated with that issue. What do you think?
Stumbled upon your video while I was doing research to start my candle business/hustle😂 but I'm doing it from Beijing. Have an idea, if your interested I could help you source & import your materials from China to improve your margins n what not.
Great video! When conducing wick size testing is it necessary to let my candles cure if I am not focused on the hot throw just yet? I would like to know how the different wick sizes performs with that particular FO or does the curing process affect the results? Thank you
Hi, I want to learn to make candles for own purposes. Can I use the used candle containers? I need to get the wicks that are not turning black smoke when burn please
Hey Wade! I made a test candle from your recommendations using Problend 600 & premier wicks & it turned out perfect..I’d like to use my straight sided jelly jars that are 2” diameter.. what wick in the premier do you recommend?
Wade I have a question about container lids. I bought the Pewter Daisy lids off of CS. I didn't think about this earlier but I realized the lids have big holes as part of their design. I'm wondering if the candles with this kind of lid won't need any other structure to block the candle from being exposed to air? Like can I just leave the candles with hole-y lid and nothing else? The dust and stuff won't cause issue?
Hello Wade. Thank you for the tremendous amount of quality content and education your are providing for everyone. This might be in one of your videos I haven't seen yet. How do you calculate your net contents of the candle for sale to follow the Fair Packaging and Labeling guidelines?
I guess I should have waited to ask this question after the video instead of during, lol. You answered that question towards the end in labeling. Thank you.
I’ve been just using a premium soy wax. I have gotten some 464 soy wax and ECO candle wicks. I use the 16 ounce and 1 ounce fragrance oils formula. My containers are 8oz glass jars with lids and 8 oz tins with lids . How often should I test my candles and do I need to keep a log but for just one formula. My melting pot is just a regular melting pot so I don’t make much at one time . Just getting started .
Gosh, this sounds harder than I thought! I’m only interested in learning how to make candles for my friends & family. I personally like the looks of the square jars but as a beginner would a round one be easier? I’m sorta feeling nervous now!
I can’t find the video where you’re in your kitchen making a few candle for order and was short a couple. Think it was blue spruce. Help me find it please.
Good morning 😊 I have been testing Palm wax and was wondering if you have ever used it. Here's my issue, it appears that when my pillar candle is ready the bottom always has a big gap that you can't see until you try removing it from the mold, then it just crumbles when I push it out😢 Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated ❤ Thank you
What is ya'lls feedback on fragrance oils from The Candle Makers Store? I've bought and used fragrances from Lone Star Candle, Candle Science, and the Flaming Candles. All are great but looking for something with a heavier scent. I am doing IGI 4627 blended with some PB 600 with Premier 745 wicks with 10% fragrance and still not getting the CT and HT I get from the smell of my Dude Candle. The scent throw on his Pina Colada is epic! Any help would be appreciated. Just ordered some CD10 wicks to test next. The smoke of the Premier wick is pretty bad in the beginning.
I’ve noticed that you use a infrared laser thermometer. Is there a specific one you use? I have one but I’ve noticed that the temp is a few degrees off from what an actual thermometer shows.
He shows mica powder in this video. You could use mica powders and colorants to get the effect you want. I'm no expert but I'm betting he got a video on using mica in candies.
I am a new candle maker and formed my business so I can do things the right way. You are my go to person. When I’m watching your videos I tell the entire family “ I’m going to school so no one is allowed to disturb me” ..!! Thank you professor you rock..
I was pointed to come here 😅
Brand new that's great to hear
Just a quick note ... If you're in the UK (and most of Europe) you can't sell candles that have been made up of more than one preexisting fragrance oil without it going through lab tests and have the stamp of approval. Rules on this are far more relaxed in the US.
Thanks for the info!
true that...I'm in the Netherlands, same rules apply here as well
Hi, do you mean that I can't mix different fragrance oils to make one candle?
@@JAG994 not in the UK or EU, unless you pay for the new mix to be ratified by the EU which costs ££££. In the US, there doesn't seem to be any consideration about the consequences of mixing oils.

How did I get to your website? To order wicks
Blacktiebarn.com :)
Great video, thank you! Can I add a small amount of glitter to the top of my candle and if so, what type do you recommend?
I wouldn't, because it is a fire hazard. For the safest candle, only a wick/clip, wax and fragrance should be inside the vessel.
He shows mica powder in this video. You could use mica powders and colorants to get the effect you want. I'm no expert but I'm betting he got a video on using mica in candies.
