Hello! When the wax recommendations for candles and wax melts are unavailable/out of stock, what others do you recommend to use?

How do you put warning labels inside individual/single tart melts? First off them squares are pretty small to begin with to darn small sometimes to add a label on top of so how do you add a warning labels to'em?

try BW-921. Its a soy blend that has no frosting and great scent throw.

Hello I have a question how much oz of fragrance do you put it for tart wax and what is the best temperature to put it in the container tart wax, thanks again.

Hello! Thanks for this! What would be a medium amount for starting a line with tarts & candless. Thank you.

@MemoryBoxCandleCo

It’s very subjective! I would say you would want at least 4-5 different scents and have 8-10 made for each scent. That’s on the lower end but a good starting point and then you can add more scents from there!

Daft question how do you measure the wax. For the melts. Do u melt an let it set. In the melt to get the weight then re melt to add the fragrance ?

When do you add the fragrance? My wax says to melt it to 185 and then pour at 160. Thanks

Could you use the TW-30 for scoopers also?

Hi do you have any other suggestions for tart wax because none of the sites you proposed ships to Canada and i just cannot find wax made for tarts on the websites I know . either i dont know what to look for or they dont specify if its meant for tarts, thanks

Hey Erica, I ❤️ your videos!! Question for you: when you make wax tarts to give as samples. Do you recycle your clamshells after you have taken out the cubes? Or do you just use new ones? When I try to take out my cubes, my clamshell is a bit dented. But also don’t want to keep using new clamshells if I am giving them away as samples. Thank you!

Hi Erica! Love your videos! So I live in Miami and it’s always been a dream of mine to start my own candle company. The problem is there are ZERO candle supply companies in my area.

Hi! That can be really tough. I really recommend doing a couple of things: Do tons and tons of research, and do a test order on 10+ candle suppliers to see who has the cheapest shipping to your zip code. You can also go in the Facebook group “DIY candle making beginner to advanced” and search that group to see if anyone from Florida says where they get their wax from :)
