Thank you very good video please can you do a video on recycling candles where the wick has burnt out

Your candles look perfect. I am considering my options to replace my income as a nurse ( as are just about all of my nurse friends recently) I was doubting how I could figure out how to make my candles less "homemade". Your thoughtful solutions are as simple as they are genius. Well done Sir.

Thanks for watching, hopefully you found this little tutorial helpful!

Just wanted to say thank you! Using foil around the candles totally works - it keeps them from cooling off too quickly and thus forming sinkholes near the wick. I will also add this idea: be sure to use the shiny side of the tin foil against the surface of the candle. This will do an even better job of maintaining the candle's warmth for a longer period of time. You may have already mentioned this, but if you did, I missed it. :) I'm also glad that you mentioned the proper temperatures for adding the fragrance oil and for pouring - that's helpful for newbies, too, because it makes a big difference. Anyway, thanks again!

I tested out this method because I've been frustrated by all the uneven surfaces I've been getting with the 464 wax. I wrapped the vessels in foil and put them in the roasting pan and covered it, and it worked! So happy for having such an easy solution to a vexing problem. Many thanks!

Wow, I have to tell you, I am extremely impressed! I too use Candle Science but I stopped making candles about a year ago (for a few reasons) and thought I would start making them again since I have thousands of dollars in scents, wicks, jars, etc. It is so funny, I have nearly the same equipment that you do, LOL! I assume the reason for the foil is to help the jar maintain a certain level of warmth which is what contributes greatly to the finished (flawless) candle? This video was excellent, thank you so, so much! You've inspired me to start again. 😊👍
