Allen,
You save us so much trial and error! Thank you for not gatekeeping information. You're great.
Big love from Midland, Michigan!
Glad you enjoyed this one! Thanks for your kind words 😊
Ughh the wood wicks! I have already perfected my candles with cotton wicks, but the wooden wick curiosity took over. I have been testing for months and the consistency of the batches and the way they burn is killing me. I’m ready to throw my hands up and go back to my beloved CDN’s. The wood wicks definitely bring a different luxury aesthetic and vibe, but gosh darn! (Flips table) Love this channel thanks for sharing❤
A topic that would be interesting would be the aspects of what bees wax does for your candles. I’d imagine it would slow down the melt pool but does it do anything for HT or CT? Does it affect the color of your wax when it burns?
Great idea!! I feel like I could share a good amount on this topic. I’ll add this one to my list.
Allen thank you for sharing candle making tips with us, as a newbie I appreciate your experience and value your input.
Love & Light~Namaste
Glad this one was helpful to you!
All the sipping and all the chat!!!!!!!!❤❤❤
Glad you enjoyed this one! Thanks for your kind words 😊
Thank you Allen! STILL in major testing mode, almost 6 months now and the darned wicks!😵💫😵💫😱😵💫 Wooden wicks are so fun but it is a challenge overall, so I decided to only have a few candles with them. Love your idea that adding some mica might help keep the hot flame/burning be reduced to a better level! This gives me some hope that I can go back and try a small amount of mica with my wooden wicks and see if that does the trick! Tend to be a perfectionist so by now I’ve gone through over 70lbs of wax and hoping my major testing phase will produce ideal candles soon.🤪😅
Thanks again for great insight and your honesty on how candle making is definitely not an easy endeavor. 💖
You’ve got this! Hang in there.
Thank you! 😅💖

I love your regular videos & your Patreon
Glad you like them!
Hey I just found you and your videos and I love that you are so open with everyone about the trials, your recipes, etc. since you are self employed what are you using for like your payroll/accounting type side. Sorry if you have did a video on this before but I just found you today and you have a lot of videos that I’ve been watching.
Thanks for your comment Rachel. I’ll consider making a video on this in the future.
Hi Allen,,love your videos. I watched one of your tin one and it really inspired me to start making them in my business.
Glad you enjoyed this one! Thanks for your kind words 😊

Love this candid talk. Please film more
Glad you enjoyed this one! Thanks for your kind words 😊
I love your videos Allen. Please share how you add mica to your candles. Does it make the wax look opalescent?
Hi there! I’ll consider making a video on this in the future. Thanks for the suggestion!
They certainly are divas - and paired with beeswax, you have the super diva!
Ha ha ha!! Could not agree more.
Hello Allen! I am new to your channel. I have seen maybe 4 or 5 of your videos. I have to say, I love this style/format from you. It's very real, and natural. Like sitting down and listening to a friend talk about their passion. Thank you! I look forward to more of this style from you. Have a great day! ~Tami

Hi from Puerto Rico
Hi 👋🏼!
Haha! You need a straw! 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
I double my wood wicks.
❤
love your videos!! I'm new to candlemaking, but really set on wooden wicks because I love the crackle! I got some crackling wooden wicks from makesy but I was thinking maybe the ultimate wood wicks are better quality? But I'm not sure they crackle....do you have experience using those?
I do not have personal experience with those but I am curious about them!
Love you vids but recently when you name all your patreons is very annoying, hope you can find another way, thanks 🫶
Glad you enjoy my videos! You can absolutely just click off on that part if it bothers you. 👍🏼
@@earthglow yeah what happens is that I usually play your videos while working or washing dishes so I just put automatic play, thanks anyways 👍
