Making Many Different Soy Wax Melts - Frosting issues!
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
In this video, I'm making lots of differently fragranced Wax Melts!
With Multiple colours. Using Soy Golden Wax 494. I got some frosting, as you will see in the video. Not sure what I did wrong, but thinking maybe I poured them too hot. If you can help, please let me know in the comments section.
The EcoSoy I used to use was frosting free every time, however, they ceased trading.
Hope You enjoy!

I absolutely love your videos! Please never stop. I was look on the websites you linked in the description and was wondering which one you used to purchase a FO to make the Acqua Di Parma scent? I have been trying to find an oil for this scent for so long.🥰
This is such a lovely video. Thank you so much. It inspired me to make my own wax melts. Im just starting my candle business and man is it A LOT to keep up with! Thank you for your video! Oh also, I wanted to tell you that it helps a lot of you make a small 'slit' on the backside of the labels. Be careful you dont cut through the whole paper though. Keep up the great videos!
Hey Karen! Ya know I love watching the whole process from start to finish and you delivered! They look good enough to eat, like some specialty chocolate bars! LOL ; ) The labels are just gorgeous with the foil paper. Have a super day...Big ((Hugs)) and Love from Texas!! xoxoxo : )

Karen, hello from Canada. Love your creative videos. You certainly are a very talented lady. I am learning a lot from you. A lot of times as you are filling up the moulds I think "Oh!NO it is going to overflow and boy are you a perfectionaist. Real treat to watch, very relaxing. In this covid ridden worl you are indeed a breath of fresh air. When you speak you remind me of my friend Avril Wilkinson who lives in the UK in Nottingham. Your accent is similar to that of hers. I hope to look you up when i come to UK next to visit my daughter and family in Chelsea/Fulham. Great stuff Karen. Thank you. You make things look so easy. IN reality it is not that easy. Lot to learn

Sweet 2 Eat Baking Not going to lie it’s of grave concern to leave the house so I basically don’t the only time I do leave the house is for Drs appointments only and I don’t sit in the allocated waiting room I ask to be placed elsewhere and the the Drs staff always accommodates me. But yes we are extremely careful at all times. My husband is very good he always washes his hands when he comes home from work takes his work clothes off stays away from me until he showers as he likes to play with dog for awhile hubby also does all the shopping again he disinfects when he goes into the shop and out and again always washes his hands thoroughly before he comes near me. I am very fortunate to have a wonderful husband who understands my situation very well. We don’t have visitors and we don’t go anywhere lol. Wow ten years is a very long time to be on suppressants I feel for you. This is the second time I’ve been on them I had a relapse last January the first time I was on them for 2and a half years this time ten months so far. Look after yourself stay home if you can it’s hard I know but with this virus we don’t have a choice it will kill me if I get it I’m a bronchial asthmatic to boot so yeh we are extremely on guard at all times it’s a case of have to lol. Take care of yourself. 😊
i love the mould and the package that looks like chocolate. really awesome as usual. i never tried candels or melts. I think candles are not quite easy.
Love them!!!
Very satisfying video...♥️😊

Hi i am new to wax melt making,what an exciting journey to be on,i love watching your videos,very informative Regarding the FO though,i am a little confused,i have seen many saying to measure your FO in grams and NOT mls,as all oils have different density,so 10mls can be different to 10g,and have heard that this can alter your CLP which can be a problem,aa y advice appreciated x
Very very classy wrapping label!! 👍 💕
Loved this video, can you tell me what molds you used please xx many thankyous xxx
They look great Karen. Do u need to cure a few days before wrapping them? Also Karen wheredou purchase those molds. Thanks Henrietta
I love your labels, do you make them yourself on the label website? What size are those ones that you are using for wrapping around the wax bars?
Hello! I love your videos! I want to start making wax melts so I have ordered soy wax off amazon (it is only 2kg but i am just starting. And I got a thermometer for the cooking, soap and candle dyes. And I also got pure essential oils however, I am wondering if it is ok to use essential oils and if 10ml is enough to make a decent amount. Thank you.

Hi, love your video’s, could you tell me if your labels here have CLP legal jargon at the bottom? If so could you tell me what it says please?
TIP - this wax has terrible frosting issues for everybody that uses it. This wax LOVES hot silicone moulds, heat up your SILICONE mould for a 30 second intervals in the microwave, just before you pour the wax into the mould. But I now use a different wax EcoSoya Melt: (getting your hands on it is not easy though) suppliesforcandles.co.uk/product/ecosoya-melt-

So eco soya doesn’t frost or i still have to heat up the mould? I’m still learning about this frosting thing and it’s ruining my embeds 😫
Just found you earlier this evening. Before you applied the sticker wrap with the name of the scent on it what did you wrap around the wax bar to keep the scent enclosed inside? Thanks for some awesome videos! 😇

Soy wax is prone to frosting its 100% normal and will happen even if you take a heat gun and skim the tops itll come back. Its a sign that you are using 100% true soy wax and customers typically don't care. Even larger candle companies who use soy cannot avoid frosting. Mixing the soy with paraffin or coconut blend eliminates frosting.

Hi Karen, I'm loving your videos! I wonder if you can offer me any help? I have just started making wax melts and I am having a few problems. I am using the same wax, golden wax 494 and also the same moulds from siliconemoulds.com. The problem I am am having is my melts are sticking in the moulds, I am leaving them for around 3 hours beforen removing them but sometimes the break up or stick inside the mould. Also, do you wash your moulds inbetween uses, I have been and wondered if this was the problem. Many thanks X
