God bless you

Thank you for your wonderful down to earth demo ....love the the no nonsense approach....with great results. From UK .

First video regarding making a coconut wax candle. Thank you.

Coconut oil is amazing. The refined oil i'd definitely use for making scented candles and lanterns Or a 2:1 mixer for longer brighter flame

This is exactly what I was looking for ty tons of people have veg. Oil or olive oil videos but I generally only have coconut oil ty 😊

your lady; you're a doll. Made me smile all through your video. I think I will find an ole lantern and use that. Thank you for your video and I do hope you fix that table with the oil.

Very small tea lights. hehe. I am not sure it matters about the tempeture if you do not add anything to it. I have started to make my own tea lights using Coco nut wax blend. Using a large pot with a little bit of water in.let it simmer and then I put my thick glass container with a handle in. Keeping an eye on it and stir regular.When it all has melted.I pore it in to my 8 hour tin candle holders I saved from an old tea light. Thanks for the video.I will try that to.

🥰I never Knew this before today - thank you so much. xo

Cool video! I've also started making candles and showcasing it on KZread.😍

Trying this with the kids... seems like a good science project. Thank You!

Way cool! Tell me how they like it!

This helped soooo much in my research. I guess beeswax would make the wax stronger or is there another way to make them stronger.

Very helpful video!!!

IDK. I think that I would probably choose the refined oil for the fact that it is a brighter flame. Although the unrefined burned longer it gave out much less light and it is a little bit more expensive than the refined. I think cost/usage wise it would be pretty close to a wash.

very valid point, I didn't think of it from that perspective. and if you make a larger candle using a small mason jar and twine (or something like that) it should last for a while since the tealight version burned for almost 2 hours!

+MyHomesteadingProject I was happy with how the experiment turned out!

Interesting experiment! I used to make soy candles, which were fun to make, so I just might have to try this!

it was fun an easy! I had seen were people tried using olive oil or cisco to see how well it would burn for an emergency candle, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to try coconut oil!

thank you for that good information .

interestingly enough I tried out extra virgin coconut oil to make candles a few days ago and they burned for just over 4 hours.

thanks!

Great video!

Maybe make one bigger that will fit a Sterno stove. That way you can heat food when you don't have power.

the wick is longer, thats why the flame was bigger..

To be honest, I would say you could evenly match the performance by changing the wick size to the volatility.

how does a bit bigger candles burn? seems like the wick will just fall into the candle and drown if it was taller.

Watchtiiiime 😂

All I did scoop oil into jar w wick.light done, tge shea moisture 100% oil made 4 beauty byt the kitchen stuff same cheaper same grade , the beauty 1 but really no differe I love smell i have 1 burning now mines white 100% Virgin,

Dear You use coconut oil or coconut wax ? As I know, coconut oil show the liquid form, not the solid at room temperature. Hope to see your reply soon

I used coconut oil. It liquefies at 76°F, until then it's in a solid form. I use it all the time in homemade lotion bars and absolutely love it.
