THANK YOU! I have been making and selling candles for around 5 years now, have sat through a course and NEVER heard how to calculate the amount of wax needed. This is one of the most basic and important aspects of candle making and you are the first person to divulge this 'great secret' - THANK YOU! 😘
Which wicks is this? I need to fix pillar candles for someone but I’m confused as I don’t have the wicks so can you tell me which wicks is this.? Also can I remelt the pillar candles and and pour into plastic tub?
Angela, thank you for this video. I would like to add stearic acid to my paraffin wax. Do I need to melt the stearic acid prior to adding it to the wax or may I just pour the flakes into the wax and melt it that way? Also, will 10 to 15 percent stearic acid in my wax harm my silicone mold? Thank you very much!
Also, lol, try the pringles can. I just made a bunch of candles over the weekend using the pringles can and cannot believe how successful (not to mention economical), it was. MakingYourOwnCandles has a great tutorial!
Did you use mold release spray or how did you got the candle out of the mold...do we have to use any medium for easy release of candle from its mold.? Kindly advice
@@mitaliattick8436 Molds seem to be a bit tricky, the candle may come out, it may not come out. It cannot hurt to use a mold release spray. (someone said you can even use cooking spray. Just spray and wipe so there is only the slightest residue left)
