I love these candles! The designs are amazing 👏 👏👏💜
so comprehensive like always!
i keep watching this and everytime i learn more
Thank you for these tips, I used soy wax with silicone body molds
I recommend using a thick needle to thread the wick. Even the platic ones for lil like canvas knit work perfect! That's what I use.
Beautiful !!! Thanks for sharing !
Thanks for your tips, many things I learn from this clip.
Hi! Great video, thank you for sharing. Is it absolutely necessary to double-boil soy wax? I've been using a hot plate to melt it and it works but what is the difference between double-boil and melting it on a hot plate?
It will be interesting to see how you demold the 3D pear candle. Its really hard to do it without any damages with this mold
Hi, thanks for the video. Do we need to grease a mold before pouring wax? Which oil is the best option?
Very helpful, thank you!
Thank you for the detailed information on your video. I do have a question about wicks. I am new to candle making and starting with pillar candles. I am using American Soy Wax for pillar candles and I am stuck in regards to the wicks that I should use to test my candles. Do the wicks have to be specific to the branding of the wax or I can get the 100% cotton rolled up wick from any candle company? I understand the wick will vary depending on the mould but do you have a recommendation of which wicks to start with ? Thanks
So good 😊 Thank you!
Thanks for sharing, i got really useful tips. What type of wax did you use?
HI Sheri, Very pretty candles thanks for sharing Lin ❤️

How would you choose wick? Would you go for the biggest diameter of mould?
Do you use just reel of cotton wax? I'm starting to try moulds currently use CDN wicks in my jar candles
Amazing videos so informative
HI - just starting with candle makig. Have made container wax and now want to try pillar wax. Firstly I need to know where you get the variety of silicon moulds you show. Thanks
Awesome video!
Hello what is the wicks called? I have pillar candles and someone ask me to fix it but I don’t the wicks for the pillar candles. Will eco wicks or cotton wicks works for pillar candles?
Hi! how many hours does the palm leaf candle last? what wick do you use please? thanks and congratulations
Hi Sheri what did you put on the top of the whole. Is plasticine, playdo? Thank you.
Hi Sheri can I use paraffin wax for pillar candles (silicon moulds) I can't get soywax for pillar wax...only soft wax for container is available where I live. Thanks.
Really cool thanks
What are the little round silver pieces for at the bottom of the wick and are they required?

Hello. how do you determine the wick size for different kinds of mold?
Which soy wax is best for pillar moulds please 😊
Any tip for frosting ?
Thank you for sharing
Hm I can see ‘frosting’ on the candles, I have the same issues even though I’ve tried different melting and room temperature. Can we somehow get rid of the frosting at the first point ?
What is the burn time for the body shape candles?
Apply lotion on the body of the mold and remove with ease you’re welcome 😊

Is the soy pillar wax skin safe? I know that pure soy wax is skin safe, but I am curious to know if the soy pillar wax is also skin safe as it's a wax blend.

If your pillars moulds are very large then you will need to go for cord wick and cut it to the right length.

Hi Sheri! I currently use kerosoy 4120 and find my pillar candles can be a bit soft and does soften up a bit in the sun. Do you find the pillar blend quite firm when the candles are ready to be demoulded? Thank you!

Great candles but how do they burn? I only like candles when they burn up clean en don't like it when there is wax left. That is why I don't make this type of candles, only makes candles in glass and test them really well to burn up with a minimum of wax left.
