You are so right that palm wax is very unforgiving! The one additional thing I do before pouring at 200F is to take my heat gun and heat the inside and outside of the container so that hot wax is going into a warm/hot container. I've found the starburst and feathering come out even more detailed.
Omg!! Thank you so so so much for this!! I have been testing palm wax for days trying to find the perfect wooden wick. Thanks so much for sharing your insulation tips as well!! Your videos are insanely helpful.
Amazing! These are beautiful! I'm so happy you share like you do. Thank you for making simple candle videos that help everyone, and show that it isn't impossible to get awesome results!
This are beautiful candles.. I'm gonna have to try and make these once I get soy under my belt !! Thank you Tim for detailing how to make amazing candles !!
Hi Tin i have started using palm wax just recently my question is i use the metal tins with the metal pins , my question is my last 2 times i made candles i have had trouble with 1of them not coming out of container .Any suggestions as to how to release from the mould Thank you by the way i have learned more from your videos than anywhere else here in Australia
Thanks Tim! I’ve often wondered about Palm Wax. Beautiful candles! Glad you and your wife made it back safe and had a wonderful time. My sister and her husband just came back from Vegas and said pretty much the same thing.
Wonderful job explaining the process, as always. Have a question, can you mix the 2 different types of palm wax? Wonder what the crystal pattern would look like.
This is the first time I have seen one of your video's, very good information. The candles are just beautiful, what really caught my eye was your wick holders, would you mind sharing where you purchased those? My wicks are all over the place. Thank you.
What is that double heater you are using? My stovetop with the double boiler method struggles to get to 180 degrees so I'm interested in that double hot plate thing you've got... great video ...might try the palm wax, as I love the look!!!
I also use what he is using to heat up my wax. Thank you for the video going to try out the palm wax myself when I get my order in. After watching this video very excited to try my hand at it :)
Beautiful. Tutorial request; I have some soy candles that heat throw great... Making them exactly the same way, I have others that you can only smell if you are right next to them. Why, and how do I correct this problem???
What hot plate do you use? I am trying to decide. I see several chandlers using a hot plate without using double boiler. I use C-3 and feather palm. Any help will be appreciated.
I have read about people needing to flip the candle after the top sets up, to cut down on air pockets. Have you had a problem like this working with palm containers wax? Thanks in advance, I just subscribed.
Off topic... I was wondering if you could do a segment on candle tins. I saw on Candlescience web site that some of the reviews mention that certain fragrance has a chemical reaction with the tins making a rusty look to the wax. I did see that it only had an effect on certain fragrance and I didnt know if it was all tins or just the tins from Candle Science. I would rather use tins vs glass for obvious reasons plus Candle Science is relatively close to my and not a big deal to do a local pickup saving on shipping cost. Thanks you sir. Reggie P.
Now I'm really confused. I've been playing around with palm wax for awhile trying to get it wick. I was always told you need to poke relief holes or do something to get the air pockets out, but you didnt do that. Why? I would love to see them lit
@Vanessa I share your confusion! I've heard so many different mixed reviews on Palm Wax, it makes me nervous to try it. I have heard about the need to poke relief holes with it, while many Palm Wax Candle Makers don't show this. I spoke with 1 Candle Maker who uses Palm Wax, she says that she never gets any air pockets in her Palm Wax Candles. She said that the slower the Palm Wax cools, the less chance of an air pocket forming. But I haven't been able to find any information out there to verify this claim. It seems very risky going about doing it this way, unless I know for a fact that it's true.
We stopped ordering Palm Wax due to the palm forest have been distroyed by the greed of people. Too bad too because palm wax was my favorite to work with and the finished product was safe and beautiful. Sigh
Hi! just found you channel and it helps me a lot! I am starting with palm wax for candles. I have a question, though, what would be the reason that my candles crack every time I use it and put it out? I mean, when I pour the wax for the first time when dried there it's always a crack on the hard wax! I thought 'Ok, maybe I poured too fast or too hot', but then, if I light it up and hours later I put out the candle, when it dries there's the crack again! I thought it was just for the first pour, but now I think it might be the color? am I missing an additive? Thank you!
Hi Tim thank you for this video in just bought some palm wax to test!! 🤞. Quick question where can I find the wick/holder tops you are using ? I would love to get some of those. Thank you😁
Hi, I think this question is going to be a year late, but I'm still hoping you are gonna respond. So my question is, I noticed that you didn't use the double boiler method, and does just putting the pourer directly on the heat source work the same?
Same process, you would just need a bigger box or container. Actually the more candles you had in there, the more heat it would hold in and the longer it would take to cool, which would actually be better.
I just found you and I'm so glad I did. I have Palm wax number 3 and I also have the stuff that's called bright. I've had this Palm wax for quite a while and I'm too scared to make candles but I'm so excited to do it. I may be bothering you with some questions. I hope you won't mind. Thank you so much for sharing 😀
you can go very high with the fragrance load with palm wax..you can go up to 20% if you want too, but that's nuts.. I do feel it needs at least 12% to throw decent though
Hello! I'm learning how to make palm wax candles. Maybe I can ask you for some advice? What flashing point would you recommend me to use fragrance oils for a good scent? Palm wax has a high melting point. What would you recommend to me? You may know some good online courses where you go about making scented candles. I would like to produce quality palm wax scented candles.
@Rich Candle Flash Points don't have anything to do with making a Candle. You want to mix your Fragrance Oil at around 200*F when making Palm Wax Candles.
Khione as far as i know, flash point has something to do with making candles. If you pour the fragrance at 200F candle while the fragrance flash point lets say it's arounf 170F, then some of the fragrance will evaporate and the scent will be less strong
Thanks for the video. But how would you do this if you wanted to pour a large production of candles? Like if I wanted to pour 30 or more a day? How would you go about insulating and pouring?
You are so right that palm wax is very unforgiving! The one additional thing I do before pouring at 200F is to take my heat gun and heat the inside and outside of the container so that hot wax is going into a warm/hot container. I've found the starburst and feathering come out even more detailed.
This is one of the most pocket friendly video I've seen. From insulation to covering, you didn't ask us to buy any fancy equipment. Thank you!
You are the best teacher! Thanks ,so much for sharing that. What beautiful candles!
Thank You :)
Super!👍 Thank you for making simple candle videos that help everyone 🙂
Omg!! Thank you so so so much for this!! I have been testing palm wax for days trying to find the perfect wooden wick. Thanks so much for sharing your insulation tips as well!! Your videos are insanely helpful.

Thank you Tim for demonstrating the Palm Wax.....spreading the love of Palm Wax😍
Thank you, Glad you enjoyed!
So pretty. Now you got me wanting to use palm wax. Love your videos.
Great explanation about the palm wax. They are beautiful!
Thanks for watching!
That insulation method is an amazing tip, beeswax benefits from being cooled slow too.
Wow!! Yes I did enjoy the video and the way you explained the whole process.. 👍🏻 Great job Tim!
Very nice love the crystallization
Thank you, Glad you enjoyed!
Thanks!!! Learned a bunch !!!

I might have to give that a try! Honestly never occurred to me to mix the two lol
Hiya just wondering as you didnt mention how much liquid scent did you add into each candle? Btw these are amaze x
He said 6%
This is the first time I have seen one of your video's, very good information. The candles are just beautiful, what really caught my eye was your wick holders, would you mind sharing where you purchased those? My wicks are all over the place. Thank you.

Thank you I was wondering also
Any stove top burner will work great, I prefer the sealed burner rather than the coil burner because they are a lot easier to clean.

@@TimberRidgeGifts so no need to double boil is it? Just straight on the stainless steel jug?
I also use what he is using to heat up my wax. Thank you for the video going to try out the palm wax myself when I get my order in. After watching this video very excited to try my hand at it :)
New subscriber! Many thanks, Tim! Q: Have you ever used plastic molds for palm wax? Is the cooling process same? Does the candle come out easy?
Beautiful.
Tutorial request; I have some soy candles that heat throw great... Making them exactly the same way, I have others that you can only smell if you are right next to them. Why, and how do I correct this problem???
Great information!!!
Thank You :)
Thank you Tim.
Thank You :)
Beautiful! Did you burn these candles, Tim? And if so, how did they burn with the eco wicks?
What hot plate do you use? I am trying to decide. I see several chandlers using a hot plate without using double boiler. I use C-3 and feather palm. Any help will be appreciated.

thanks for the video!!
where can I find wick holders like that?
New subscriber!! Havent explored yet not sure if you mentioned it Tim but would you ever have a tutorial on using beeswax?
Definitely on my to-do list
i dont know about the look but the scent sounds amazing
Thank You :)

Hello Great Teacher Tim!
At what temperature we shall add fragrance oil in palm wax?
Hi! just found you channel and it helps me a lot! I am starting with palm wax for candles.

i bout a homemade palm wax small pillar candle from etsy how do u do a palm wax pillar candle i dont like jar candles?
Do you mix anything with the palm wax? Besides color and scent
Did these Wicks well with the candles when you burned them? I have the same size container and I'm having a hard time trying to find the right wick.
Hi Tim thank you for this video in just bought some palm wax to test!! 🤞. Quick question where can I find the wick/holder tops you are using ? I would love to get some of those. Thank you😁
So is it the wax or the dyes that create that affect??
Thank you ! I wasn't taught to isolate them
Is cosmetic mica acceptable?
I bought 10 pounds of palm wax because it looked cool. Didn't realize it was gonna be so tricky! (i'm still a beginner)
Hey, I work with Palm wax and had few questions. How can I get in touch with you? I can’t find your Facebook group. Thanks
Hey love your video... My homework is actually a palm wax candle.... Question can I mix 2 colours to marble the starburst wax?
Hi, I think this question is going to be a year late, but I'm still hoping you are gonna respond. So my question is, I noticed that you didn't use the double boiler method, and does just putting the pourer directly on the heat source work the same?
How would you cover a batch of candles like 12?
Same process, you would just need a bigger box or container. Actually the more candles you had in there, the more heat it would hold in and the longer it would take to cool, which would actually be better.
I just found you and I'm so glad I did. I have Palm wax number 3 and I also have the stuff that's called bright.

you can go very high with the fragrance load with palm wax..you can go up to 20% if you want too, but that's nuts.. I do feel it needs at least 12% to throw decent though
