omg I Love this Video! I'm new to the candle world and I use 464 soy wax and I honestly don't want to give up on it because I feel I'm so close to my measurements and steps to a beautifully smelling candle. I made one Tobacco Caramel candle and let it cure for 2 weeks and it smells so good! your video is so much motivation!!
Yes I just ordered some problends, im inpatient lol...but I've used 464 and no complaints...just wanna play around and extend my line with some good ol pillars!
For use inside our house we can only use beeswax or soy because of soot irritation. We get lots of mixed blend paraffin candles for the patio cause they are wonderful outside & help keep bugs away.
Okay so we are just now starting out and I've tested some FO's that do not put off a scent so we are going to try letting a tester cure for 2 weeks and see. The scent is so lovely and we definitely would want to include it in our lineup. Thanks for your video!
Hi there, thank you for sharing your knowledge. I am just starting out and wanted to know where would be the best place to purchase my wax and scents? I was purchasing from Amazon and while the scents were amazing, I was not smelling it in the candle when I test. Now I know I need to let the candle cure, thank you for that info.
Im new to candle making, I've made about 100 candles and still can't get a good cold or hot throw. I started with 646 soy which was too difficult l changed to 6006 Para soy. Unfortunately l haven't had to much success with this wax either. I spent a great deal of money on materials and watch numerous video but feel just as lost now as when l first began. I'm melting to 185° and adding FO at as close to 185° as l can possibly get. I stir for nearly 90 sec to get a good mix, and l pour around 150° - 160°. I get the same results every time. A very light cold throw and a slim to none hot throw. I'm gonna take your advice and get my fragrances from Flaming Candle in stead of Candle science. I pray that that helps my fragrances but in the mean time to you have any advice. If so l would be very Thankful and appreciative.
I’m actually editing a video today over my testing phase with problend 600 from flaming candle. I do for all waxes I do heat up to 190-200 and I do add the fo around 190 and I pour at 175-180. Cure two weeks. Ive never used 6006
Your video is definitely helpful I made sure to hit subscribe! Do you have any insight on using fragrance oils vs essentials and can they be blended? Thank you
Hi, thank you for subscribing. You can mix both, I personally don't use bth therefore I wouldn't know how to navigate that part. Using essential oils only is not recommended as essential oils are too soft for the wax and you will not get the HT your candles need.
Not yet! I actually don't use dye so I don't think I can be of help. I don't like dye as I 've had two candles not perform good and actually catch fire during testing phase with dye.
I am a new beginner at this candle making. I use soy wax and cotton wicks. Once my wax reach the hot throw, I pour in my fragrance oil. Stir for 2mins... I let the candles cure over night before burning to test them out and no smell of the fragrance at all. Help, any more tips on what I should do besides switch up the wax
Hot throw is how the candle smells when its burning. For soy candles u need to let it cure for 2 weeks to test the hot throw. Switching Waxes don't make ur candle smell better. It's all about the wick. To choose a wick is based on the diameter of ur jar, and the wax ur using. I suggest doing more research before giving up. You'll figure it out but it takes time and patience.
@@lisetterivera3982hi ur information is very helpful… I have problems with my candles….my family and friends really like my candles but some of them are saying the candles doesn’t diffuse… now I’m using soy wax but don’t know the brand name as it is local and I’m using essential oil and fragrance but very careful…. So what is the problem with my candles and I let them cure 5 days to 2 weeks … it is because of wicks?
@@JROUTT07 okay thankyou! Also do u have any idea how to list the candle price? Like how much I should charge it for like example jar then wick and do we also have to mention oil but no clue as I’m randomly selling at different prices without even mention what im listing…
I'm starting on the road to candle making and I'm wondering what is the option for getting started supply wise? I've done the starter kits, now just wondering what a list would be to start testing and prepping for being able to start selling my 1st Candles.
Hi thank you for sharing! I use Pro600 for years from TFC I for me is one of the best in the blend group, I believe me I had try them all to be honest I haven’t try The wax from California Candle so I can make a review I should try it but the shipping will kill me I’m in Florida Thank you!!!
Hi!! I wanted to start making candles as a hobby. I’ve seen candle makers that measure the wax out when it’s in liquid form. Especially when they have those huge wax melters. Should I measure it in solid form or would you say liquid form is fine too? Also if I measure 1lb of wax and want 10% fragrance..is that about 1.6 oz? Sorry for all of the questions :(. I’m really confused….thank you so much!!
Hi, I am a newbie to candle making and having such a difficult time with the cold throw. I think I need some major help. Lol. Loved your video. Great information. Thank you. Judy
464 is a good wax. I would make sure to heat to 190-195 and add FO then. Pour your wax b/w 175-180. Make sure you are using the right type and size wick.
Hi! Thanx for sharing your info. I ordered 4 fragrances from Midwest. They smell really weak, so I have not tried. Does it smell stronger once added to wax? I an using 6006. Thanx!
@@Eyeamsandee sooo I had them on the shelf for awhile, I just resmelled them, they do smell stronger than I remember, thanx for mentioning them. Now I'll try. Lol
I’m new to making candles. So I’m a little bit confused. If I’m using soy wax 464 and using fragrance oil and the candle size is an 18oz what kind of wicks and size do you recommend? Help I’m lost? Any other recommendations you have for someone that is very new to this candle making?
You mentioned percentage with fragrances. What are you referring to when you say percentage of fragrance. Say I have a 4oz or 8oz soy wax candle how did you determine the amount of fragrance to use on each candle?
depending on the wax that you use it will tell you what is the max fo% that your wax will take. For example most waxes you shouldn't add more than 10% fo oil to your candles. My wax holds 10-12% but depending on the fo I add b/w 8-10%
Candle curing is the process of continuous hardening of wax to disperse fragrance oils evenly throughout the blend. Different wax and fragrance oil combinations may require more or less time to achieve an optimal state
@@Eyeamsandeemy bad. I use igi6006 and find the Eco works well with some of my fragrances while LX is working for others. Though I recently realized I may need to reduce FO. I'm new to all this. Lol
If I’m using soy wax what type of wax do u suggest. Also if I’m using the soy/veggie wax what type of wick do you recommend. Do you ever used wooden wicks?
Hello Gorgeous,thank you so much for everything you do for us , Please can you share the link of the fragrances you use or recommend please , thank you 🙏🏽
Hi I am very new to candle making and need some please. I am gonna try problend 600. Jar size 4oz, what size and type of wick do I use? Also at what temp. do I add the fragrance. What does 10% mean in ounces? Thanks in advance. Love your videos! 😇😊
I’m definitely having trouble getting a strong hot throw from my wax melts I’ve tried so many times but still can’t get it down! I use the soy tart wax from California candle supply
@@Eyeamsandee I melt the wax to 175 , pour my fragrance oil in and then wait for it do go down to 135 . I used 15,16 and 17% fragrance oil but barely any smell. Maybe I need it to cure more ? I waited about 3 days before trying it out or maybe it can be what I’m making them in ? I use silicone molds
Try this and tell me how it goes: heat up to 190 add your fragrance oil then pour at 170. I use a 15% fo. For this tart wax the hotter the more the fragrance oil bonds with wax.

All my videos will teach you
Hi Ma’am, how long do I let my soy coconut wax cure Ma? I’m a beginner & I made some candles & none gave a strong HT
Hi, 2 weeks
I’m new to making candles. So I’m a little bit confused. If I’m using soy wax 464 and using fragrance oil and the candle size is an 18oz what kind of wicks and size do you recommend? Help I’m lost? Any other recommendations you have for someone that is very new to this candle making?
I would see what the supplier that sold you the wax recommends. Your wick will be determined by your wax type and diameter of your candle jar.
Your wick will depend on the type of wax and the diameter of your jar.
Love this what do you think about 444 wax
I've never tried it but I will soon and make a video.
You mentioned percentage with fragrances. What are you referring to when you say percentage of fragrance.

Can i know the correct temperature to mix essential oil to pareffing wax ,
I don’t know, I don’t use paraffin wax. Sorry
what is the best wick to use for the tw30 wax? and for the 6006 wax?
I only use TW30 for wax melts
I didn't understand the cure part...wht do u mean by that
Allow the candle to sit for two weeks before lighting it or selling it.
What soy wax do you recommend from The Flaming Candle?
I like their problend
@@Eyeamsandee thank you!!!
What temp should you add essential oils at?
I don’t use essential oils as essential oils will not give you the ht your candles need. They aren’t as concentrated.
What does cure the candle mean?
Candle curing is the process of continuous hardening of wax to disperse fragrance oils evenly throughout the blend. Different wax and fragrance oil combinations may require more or less time to achieve an optimal state
what wick do you like for the problend 600?
I like the CD it burned very nice
Thank you

190
I can't get a storg scent please help me please
Do you test wicks less do?
no, only wax melts for fragrance

Hmm can you elaborate
@@Eyeamsandeemy bad. I use igi6006 and find the Eco works well with some of my fragrances while LX is working for others. Though I recently realized I may need to reduce FO. I'm new to all this. Lol
How much fo are you using?
@@Eyeamsandee was 9%. I've adjusted my recipes and plan to make candles with 7% FO this weekend.

It all depends on what type of results you are getting.

What are the best wick and it’s size to use
Wicks will always be determined by your type of wax and the size of wick will be determined by the diameter of your vessel.
I’ve watched a few of your videos and I really wanna ty you soooo much for sharing you knowledge with us who wants to learn. Ty ty ty
If I’m using soy wax what type of wax do u suggest.

Hi I am very new to candle making and need some please. I am gonna try problend 600. Jar size 4oz, what size and type of wick do I use? Also at what temp. do I add the fragrance. What does 10% mean in ounces? Thanks in advance. Love your videos! 😇😊
I’m definitely having trouble getting a strong hot throw from my wax melts I’ve tried so many times but still can’t get it down! I use the soy tart wax from California candle supply
Can you walk me through your process? I use the tw30 also and I’ve never had issues with the scent.
@@Eyeamsandee I melt the wax to 175 , pour my fragrance oil in and then wait for it do go down to 135 . I used 15,16 and 17% fragrance oil but barely any smell. Maybe I need it to cure more ? I waited about 3 days before trying it out or maybe it can be what I’m making them in ? I use silicone molds
Try this and tell me how it goes:
heat up to 190 add your fragrance oil then pour at 170. I use a 15% fo. For this tart wax the hotter the more the fragrance oil bonds with wax.
*The hotter the better
@@Eyeamsandee ok will definitely try it out thank you so much 💕
