There’s so many multi millionaires that only sell candles if you can manage to be successful in selling candles you’re pretty much set for life

Had a friend once who made candles and i have great ideas so thanks in advance my friend. ❤

Thanks Wade! just what we were looking for!

Thank you for sharing. It was very informative.

The most difficult aspect of candle making is finding the right wick. It can be so frustrating to test many brands, their recommended sizes and the sizes above and below, yet still not be able to find a wick that works as it should.

Hi there Wade great overview!! Well I did it I got my kit and follow their directions.. so I do have a question …. On their directions it was stated 1 pound of wax would make 3 jars I got in the kit well…. I measured 1 lb and as it was melting I thought this isn’t enough for one jar.. I added two more lbs and only got two jars.. 🤷‍♀️ it is Soy wax in chip form it didn’t say what kind of soy wax though.. I’m going back to view your video on the formula about measuring of wax before I make more .. you are right I’m addicted.. can’t wait to make more.. waiting a few days before lighting the two I made to see they burn etc…can you say testing?😜as always thanks so much for sharing your wealth of information!!!

Hey wade. Hope all is well.. let me start by saying that I'm huge fan of your channel because you put out great contents and it helps quite well so I always watched your videos a lot. Here is question. When using dye in my candles, should I wick up one step just to compensate for the the dye? Also, I use ( IGI 6006 wax ) with your premier 765 wick in 3" jar and 760 in 2" 7oz jar. I normally use 4-6 drops of dye in the wax . I realized that I have mushrooms build up in about 1.5-2 hours. But the hot throw is good using these size wicks. This IGI 6006 is better than straight paraffin wax because it doesn't give that smoke as paraffin wax gives, so I'm happy using it in my candles. It also gives good colors and little to no sinkhole in a single pour.

Love your videos, Wade! Question for you... how are you doing white in your black labels? Is it white ink and are you printing yourself? Labels seem to be a bottleneck for me these last few months.

@BlackTieBarn

2 жыл бұрын

Nah that's hard to do yourself. I use a print lab to actually print them. My suggestion is to get samples from various print companies. Then find a style you like and base your design around that. :)

Thank you for your video. My question is where can I buy the jars that you are showing in your video please?

If your candle is not over-priced and is made well, they should sell. Perhaps not as quickly given the current economic situation in many countries, but people still do like the odd treat every now and then. :)

What is a good dye to use? Everything I have tried so far fades when it solidifies. I use 6006. TIA

@BlackTieBarn

2 жыл бұрын

Wax is opaque so it will of course be a lot lighter when added and cooked in wax. That's normal. Uh can try using more dye but it's only going to get so vibrant because the dye is mixed with wax. I've had good luck with dyes from candle science and natures garden.

hello. Quick question. What i the additive yo use in your candles? I use a soy/veggie blend. Thank you
