I LOVE your videos! I played around years ago, back in the “hippie” days, making candles in all sorts of containers that I would find around the house or at thrift stores. Every candle was a hit or miss experience, but it was a whole lot of fun. Now, nearly 50 years later, I’ve decided to indulge in this pastime again, only this time I have KZread, Amazon, etc., at my disposal, so I’m approaching it in an entirely different way! I enjoy the science of it, the record keeping, and the challenge of dealing with so many variables. I’ve watched many, MANY videos about candle making and I always refer back to yours! The content is always clear and helpful, but I think it’s your personal style that captures and holds my interest. THANK YOU for your help!!

Hi Wade I make soy wax candles only as a hobby.

A few things you can try. But you basically want to slow down how quickly it cools. You can preheat your jars a bit, pour a tad hotter. And cover your candles so they cool more slowly. Also, sometimes it helps to poke holes around the wick as it starts to firm up. Then hit it with heat gun to fill back in. :)

Hi Wade, I love your videos and watch them constantly. I’ve just branched into using wood wicks and I noticed after it solidified one of my candles moved to 1 side.

HI- can you share your conversion from liquid volume fill in a 9 oz tumbler - assuming you are filling to 8 oz - if you are doing 4 candles you need 24.3 oz wax to do 32 oz of liquid wax fill? are you accommodating for fragrance?

@BlackTieBarn

2 жыл бұрын

hi Holly. sorry for late reply. Among so many comments across all platforms, occasionally a couple are missed at first. But... I dont concern myself with converting from liquid to weight. I just start by filling a jar (to whatever fill level I want) and finding the net weight (difference between that filled jar and an empty jar. So, for example the jars you mentioned above are really about 10.5oz jars (by volume). But my fill by weight is about 9oz. Let's assume a 9% fragrance load. So 4 candles would look like this: 9 x 4 = 36 total oz 36 / 1.09 = ~33oz (this is the wax amount) 36 - 33 = 3oz ( this is the FO amount) *The 1.09 is the division of the FO percentrage. If you wanted to use 8% then it would be divided by 1.08 Or, if 10% it would be divided by 1.10

Optional. Helps keep colors from fading as quickly due to UV light exposure

Great videos! Thank you. I’ve a couple of questions. I noticed you poured the wax over your wooden wick. Does that matter? Also, you mention poking a hole and a second pour. How soon after the first pour do you do the second pour? I’ve hear that the second pour should be at least 10 degrees hotter than the first pour. Are you doing that? Thank you!!

Hey Susan! Yes I pour over intentionally. Intentional. The rest of the wick is covered in wax too (because it's in the wax obviously). So I do this so the wick is consistent throughout. In my experience this has always worked better. :) Regarding picking relief holes. I don't have to do it on all waxes or all jars. But when I do, I poke them when around 3/4 solidified. Then second pour or heat gun the top to fill in. Temperature is flexible but I try for around the same temp as usual. If the wax is more solidified, then you'd want to pour a tad hotter so it binds together more smoothly. But if you do it while the first wax is still warm you have more wiggle room with temp.

Question Mr BLK TIE how did you make your recipe 🗃️ and your deciding the oz or weight for your oils with Wax? Is it algebra / geometry or just experience PERIOD?

Yes. Lol. All waxes have a max load they can handle. And suppliers will generally have a starting recommendation. U usually start around 8% Oil and adjust ad needed. Check out my recipes video.:)

Can I use wooden wicks in pillar/votive candles?
