Apply lotion on the body of the mold and remove with ease you’re welcome 😊

Great candles but how do they burn? I only like candles when they burn up clean en don't like it when there is wax left. That is why I don't make this type of candles, only makes candles in glass and test them really well to burn up with a minimum of wax left.

Pillar or paraffin wax are great to make imbeds as they are stronger waxes

Okay I can find both of this wax, it’s to blend the wax right? I have the list of ingredients and it’s say to get the soy wax nature c 3, palm wax,paraffin, SHP gel wax, beeswax, pillar blend wax.

Hello guys, how can I know, how much essential oil to pour in? I doing from eye, and my candles have no smell 🙄.

@sherivegasartist Год назад

Depending on the type of wax you are using depends on the amount of fragrance or essential oils you can add in. Most soy wax can be anywhere from 6 to 12% fragrances load ratio to the amount of wax you are using. You do need to measure this out. 😊

@DucksAhoy Год назад

you should be using a scale as fragrance load must be specific

Frosting is cause by the different temperatures in the wax when setting. I pour at a lower temperature to help prevent this

Yes I do find it to be firm then container soy wax. You can also add a bit of white bees wax into soy if you need it to be firmer still.

@CynthiaWildes 5 месяцев назад

I just did learn from listening to you that I need to get Piller Soy Wax - makes it easier to demold and it dries harder than the container soy wax. The Soy wax I purchased said it was for both - though I did feel that it is pretty soft and very greasy or wet feeling. How do you stop that? That's what happened to my first one. It sweated in the bubble wrap I had put it in. So I left it out. Your thoughts?

Thank you for the detailed information on your video. I do have a question about wicks. I am new to candle making and starting with pillar candles. I am using American Soy Wax for pillar candles and I am stuck in regards to the wicks that I should use to test my candles. Do the wicks have to be specific to the branding of the wax or I can get the 100% cotton rolled up wick from any candle company? I understand the wick will vary depending on the mould but do you have a recommendation of which wicks to start with ? Thanks
