@@EclipseBotanica 🙏🙏❤️🇨🇦🕯. Thank you ! I watched a lot of videos, I found yours more helpful. I’m so happy I found you. I have bought candles from stores, the wax always melt in the middle and sink in the middle, with lots of wax around it, then it burns with a black burn inside. Then it’s hard to relight the candle again then the wick wouldn’t lit. It’s annoying. I still have jar candles I can’t use. Such a waste. I never knew how to remove the wax out of the jar. It’s so burnt. Needs to be thrown out

Hello - thank you so much for your informative videos / by far the best information for beginners - I am testing the waters to Make my own candles and your videos have so much helpful information. however One topic I’d like to research before trying candles is the fragrance oils. Could you recommend dog friendly scents and which suppliers carry those scents. I love a home that smells good however I have my 2 yr old boxer mix baby girl and I would like to make them safe for her as well. What would you recommend for pet owners looking for safe oils that will not harm pets ? Thank you so much

Such amazing tips for all new candle business beginners to learn. I’m in the candle Industry and have two locations for business, one in Ireland and one in the uk. We make a lot of candles here in our shops, in the beginning it was very difficult to find what type of wax to use, we tried so so many but eventually sat on the right one and we are using that one since. Best of luck to all new beginners 🕯️❤️

hey Sarah, nice job. Just to add some clarification/info on the Vybar. The other Vybar you were referring to is called Vybar 103 and is for higher melt point waxes. However, there is also a 3rd vyrbar called Vybar 343 and it protects the mottling in mottling waxes for makers that like the mottled effect. Otherwise, other vybars will remove the mottling. hope that helps. :)

I use aluminum foil for the rare containers I don't have lids for during the curing process if I'm not able to a plastic dust cover. Plus when I use those plastic dust, I place a piece of tape over the hole to seal in the fragrance during the curing process. If I know ahead of time the candle is being shipped, I just shrink wrap it.

Hi there my problem it’s not the my candles doesn’t have a a hot trow, my problem is the right wick. Sometimes it get the full melt pool and when I lit it again. It’s doesn’t reach the full melt pool or the wick it’s flicking a lot. Omg it’s almost a 1 yr in August and still not happy not there yet 😢

My wax (which is a soy - it's that "Freedom Soy Wax" or something that Amazon has - & yes, I know I shouldn't have bought it there, but, I did, so I'm going to use it up & then maybe switch to a blend) bag says to heat to 160 degrees to add the FO. That sounds kind of low, to me, should I mix it when it's a bit hotter, or will that cause problems? I've made some test candles, but never any that have the full fragrance load I plan to use, because I'm super broke & really can't afford to dump a bunch of materials into tests, but I did use FO in my tests, just less. I think I finally have the right wicks for my two different containers, & I'm about to make my first real batch that I plan to sell, & am going to a craft fair in like 3 days, so I really hope I don't screw anything up, so I wanted to ask about that before I do it lol. Also - I love your style, definitely subscribing.
