You can also just use a dropper. And you can actually just cut up card stock into strips. You can then write your blend on the strip (ie: 2 drops lemon, 1 drop grapefruit). Your drops become your parts.
Always professional, extremely informative, educational, inspirational. Thank you so much for your generous wisdom sharing. You are definitely setting a great example of how to make the world a better place through helping others. Mucho Gracias
Thank you very much! I am so tired of spending hundreds of dollars on candles from Yankee or BBW or Goose Creek. If there is one thing I don't scrimp on its fragrance for the home. Its what defines a home. Your home promotes your personality. I would love to make my own candles and be happy with the price, for the mere fact that I am making the scent . Thank you Love your channel.
@@StandleyHandcrafted and you're going to be my number one mentor. And guide. Will keep watching your videos to learn more and be better informed before diving in.
Putting the strips into a jar is a great idea. I can go a bit nose blind, but this would help capture and amplify the scents. I'm a soapmaker, but blending scents is the same in both worlds.
you don't make them up ahead of time you have a recipe so you may have determined you add 33% scent A 50% scent B and 17% scent C so when you go to mix each batch when your making that blend you would take the scent A and 33% the scent B and add the 50% and the scent C and add the 17 and if you keep to those ratios you will get a consistent scent every time i suppose you could make it and store it ahead of time if its a scent you regularly use but i generally never have i mix as i need
I have just started and watch every one of your posts, I am in the UK so I cannot buy the FO’s you talk about but I love all the little tips and advice you give so thank you….. Made my first 4 candles last week, super smells and not so super smells but learning so thank you again.
Thank you for your help. This is a great idea. I'm barely getting my supplies to make candles for the first time. Trying to hopefully make quality candles and see what happens?? And your videos are really easy 'learn how to'.
Once you’ve created a custom scent, can you simply premix your ratio and keep on hand in a separate container? Or are you best to mix fresh into your wax?
Hello! I am going to be launching a candle workshop in my boutique! I was going to use the same vessel for everyone - and wick tested all combinations. I will have some "recipes" of suggestions they will receive during the workshop, basically blending suggestions. My question is - if someone wants to blend two fragrances I have not tested, and they both tested on their own with a CD18 wick, would I set them up with a CD 18 wick when blending the two, or can consistency change with blending? Question 2. How long do you leave strips in jars to smell the combos, and how soon in between can new fragrance strips be added to smell new combo? I was also going to have some coffee beans for sniffing in between - thoughts on that? Thank you and I look forward to your answers! Lisa
I've seen people talk about how you have to create new SDS sheets or how if you don't know the science behind it, it can be dangerous. Are either of those true?
i know when it comes to synthetic fragrance oil u can literally mix in over 15 - 20 ingredients in a bottle but ive noticed thats not the case with essential oils the scents get really unpleasant after just about 6 why is that?
They are cooling at an awkeard rate.either poke a hole all the way in and then use a heat gun to melt the top thus filling in the hole or insulate them while cooling down...like cover with a thick blanket
