Thanks so much! :)

This! We need to take breaks to reset and refocus! I forget to do that! It’s so necessary! Glad u got away for a bit! Excited for the new vessels! Please come back and show us! 🫶🏼🫶🏼

I can’t imagine making even one video! Breaks are super important. Glad you got to go on a vacation. No need to reply! 😀

y como siempre gracias por compartir

It's so important to refresh! YASSSS 🙌💫

Lol, I’m watching this video 3/9 and it’s a gorgeous day (down the street from you) and so excited for spring. 😍. Been catching up on your videos.

Oh really!? Yes, the weather has been beautiful the last couple of days! So looking forward to Spring :)

Hello! I have been watching your videos for probably the last month. The thought of candle making literally just fell into my lap. I wasn’t necessarily looking for it. Actually I was YouTubing how to make a concrete counter top and then stumbled upon your videos. I became interested and just couldn’t stop watching haha. I started looking into a lot of candle making things and it got a bit overwhelming, so I decided to take a break from looking at things. Well the next day I went for a run in the morning and I had tripped and fell straight to the ground lol. I was a little discouraged but also laughing at myself. Anyway, that same day that I tripped I went to go check out your channel. I was stunned when toward the end of your video you said “I tripped and fell while on a jog”. Instantly I became teary. As crazy as it sounds I think it was confirmation from the Lord for me to continue pursuing this candle making. So far I have made a few concrete jars, come up with a name for a potential business, and have started testing candles. I really appreciate all of what you put on here. Know that I believe in the Lord and I believe he is placing you right where you need to be. Your content is amazing!

Also I want to add that the same day that I tripped and fell was the same day that you had posted your video…which is also why I was so stunned

Oh my goodness! I truly believe in signs such as that! I'm so glad you stumbled upon my videos. Thank you for the kind message. I hope you are enjoying the process and wish you nothing but the best!

I was in a totally rut too. It’s helpful to hear you explain why it’s not a bad thing. Thank you

I would love to see you testing out those jars. And I considered trying the olive oil wax, so that would be great to see as well.

Congrats on the large candle order - that is so cool! What also caught my attention was the wax curing - I have some custys that can be a bit impatient and it's nice to know something like that exist. I still use the sponge to add sealer to my vessel cause it's kind of relaxing and not so messy 🙈

I’m curious about doing different jars, especially glass. I make tins. I’ve made glass, but never tried to sell them. I’ve been wanting to make different ones too. Can’t leave things alone! Haha.

Right! That is totally me. My mind is constantly bouncing around with ideas lol!

When you pour vessels in the winter do you have a heater in your room? Does it take longer to cure during the colder season? I’m in NY and winter gets brutal up here I’ll be pouring in the garage should I use a heater? Sorry soo many questions

@calafiacandleco

I’m in Southern California and our winters are pretty mild. I do pour in my house though, so I have control over the temperature. That’s a great question. You may want to look into some type of heater if it’s going to be really cold in the garage.

HI-I follow your video every time and thank you for your sharing experience. I have a question.I use titanium for making withe cement but when i mixed it with correct percent .The cement"s color didnt change .Could you please tell me what i have to do .Thankyou

Thanks for watching! Hmm.. how much are you adding? When making my vessels, I add 3g of TD to 850g of Cement-All and I can see a nice difference in the color.

Could you please tell me when you mix grey cement with Titanium it changed to white color .If yes please let me know which supply you prepare and how many percent mix it and even your pigment Best truly . @@calafiacandleco

Can you show the bottom of the aqua vessel?

Out of interest does the preserver/sealer enhance the colors in the concrete at all or does it dry back down?

Hey stranger! Glad you're feeling more like yourself 🙌💗

What do you charge for large orders? How you calculate what to charge for big orders ? Thank you !

@calafiacandleco

8 ай бұрын

It depends on what kind of order it is. For wholesale, I charge half of the retail price. For other large orders where they aren't intending to sell my products in a store or anything like that, I charge full price. If it's a large bulk order, I would also consider giving a small discount off the total price (like 5%).

Why did I not think of the Tupperware containers to store molds😅
