Hey all. Here to clarify and fact check myself. After using the marigold color much more it is clear that is there version of orange. It took a good amount to get an orange color but bare in mind you can anyways blend in some red and yellow to get different shades. Thanks for tuning in!!!
Thanks Olivia. And that is okay, it's still pretty new as far as youtube channels go. :) Feel free to share it as much as you want though. :) I appreciate the kind feedback!
Wade, wow an Eco dye, that is pretty cool! The colors are really pretty for sure. Thanks for keeping us updated. I've been busy formulating a new skin care product, so sometimes I miss new things. Thank you for reminding me I occassionally have to pop my head up and see what's new! Have a great week! Jill
Just a little. Htps always would mushroom a tad for me if not sized perfectly. Noticing the same with the new ones. Maybe a tough more but hard to tell
Thanks so much for this video and being so honest about it. Most definitely going to order. Can you please make a black candle and shade the about of drops used? 🙏🏽
Wade I rubber band the pipette to the bottle. This is what I do with my EO's. Less waste. But I would like the waste of the color when having to use a pipette. Do you have any opinions on using micas in wax melts?
This is not related to this video but am new to candle making. As an experience candle maker yourself I was researching names for my candle company I did came up with 1. Fragrance to fire 2. Desire flames 3. Luzzianne Jubilee, which is both My name and my Daughter. What do u think ?. Thanks
It's in the video a bit.... just that are made with renewable materials, no parables and phthalate, etc. When I reference eco r eco friendly... that was more to explain how wooden wick markets them. They mostly focus on eco friendly products when possible. Thst being said the plastic Pipettes they come with are not. Lol
I just used liquid candle dye for the first time and I noticed it was not dissolving but clumped like oil in water. It tinted the wax but not the desired color. I added it with the FO at 185 degrees, starting out with just one drop and ending up adding 8 hoping to get a darker color and that's when I notice it clumping. Is it because I used paraffin wax or the wax is old? New to this and it's discouraging not to get a deep dark color. I also had to watch to make sure the clumped dye did not drop into the candle. It was only a 4 oz candle and I thought one drop would suffice. What could be the problem...htvront candle dye was the brand...what could I be doing wrong? Thank in advance for any advice you can offer.
I may have to see what you mean. But I've never seen clumping from dye. Paraffin needs to be worked with at highest Temps tough as it cools quickly. And add it before FO if you have to. Not together. Heat to 200 or so. Add dye... blend well. Then add GO between 18 and 195. Where is your wax from and what specific kind? And where are the dyes from?
Do these have that smell of shoe polish like other liquid dyes? The wax color bricks i tried just smells like crayon to me, but the liquid black of another brand...i feel hypersensitive to that shoe polish smell.
Sometimes yes. It's normal with anything that concentrated. But if you use the typical amounts you won't detect any of that in the finished candles (with good quality dyes)
Thank you! I don't know if you've done this video yet I guess I could have asked it in group I would love to know how they make those candle wax color blocks the kinds where you just need a little tiny bit to color wax how to reverse engineer those if you know that would be golden
I have a question. I make both white and colored candles in the same fragrance. I noticed that when using the same scent the color candles seem to hold or make the candle a stronger scent. Is it just me or is this some kind of chemical reaction that the dyes have with then wax/fragrance?
Could you make a video about in person sales and marketing. I’ve just done my first Pop Up Shop invited by a national brand yesterday and I’m doing a market event next weekend. But I’d love to hear how/if you’ve done these and any advice you might have. (Not really basics but how to stand out/ be successful) thanks! ~Amy
I am definitely NOT a marketing/branding expert. I get by... but it isn't my strong point. That being said, I do plan to have some others on the channel speak about this to give some expert advice. :)
This is off-topic from this video, but can someone tell me how long the fragrance lasts in a stored candle, assuming it's lidded, away from heat/sunlight, and let's say 1006 wax? How about purchased fragrance oils?
Stored properly the scent isn't going anywhere. Not until evaporated or consumes with heat etc. Fragrance oils themselves have a shelf life. But it varies. Most suppliers will say 1-2 years concentrated in a bottle. Its different once combined with wax into finished product though. Hope tha helps
@@BlackTieBarn Thanks for answering this, and for all you do to help candlemakers on your channel. I've solved some very frustrating questions thanks to you :)
I couldn’t help but roll my eyes at how much time WW spends on their marketing and branding, but fails to put their “eco” dyes in a container that doesn’t require a continual use of disposable application tools. 🙄 they charge a premium (arm and a leg) for their products (I use their FOs and wicks), yet their execution can be so sloppy.
