**Formula I talk about in this video is below**
Hi! In this video, I go over how to make your own colored concrete container at home! Whether you are a candle business owner or love crafts, this is the perfect container/vessel for your candle needs! It also can be repurposed into a planter when the candle is done! Learn how to dye/color concrete using two different techniques. One with acrylic paint and one with Direct Colors pigment dye.
The formula for calculated wax:
Oval Container = 12oz
Cylinder = 9oz
12+9 = 21 oz of wax needed for both containers
with 10% Fragrance Oil Load = 2.1 oz of Fragrance Oil
Subtract Fragrance Oil Needed from Wax Needed to get the total amount of wax needed
21 oz - 2.1 oz = 18.9 oz of wax needed
If you have any questions, please post them below!
Enjoy the video!

Do you use the regular pigment or the metallic ones? Also how would you compare the direct color pigments to the hemway pigments? I tried the hemway ones but it seemed I had to use ALOT to see any color. Thanks again for all you do! You are appreciated!

Hi Kala! Thanks for your videos and being so helpful! I remember you saying that you got a big wholesale order and had to buy more molds. When you were starting out with your molds for your cement jars, how many molds did you buy to start with? And what was your workflow like? Making two at a time, waiting and then making more…? When you were testing with the cement vessels, did you use the same vessel multiple times to test, or you’d just make a new candle? I ask just to know if the cement would hold up with multiple candle lives. :) What are your favorite colors, or what colors do you have, for powder color? Thanks again! Love your channel.
@WizeOwlCandles
@WizeOwlCandles 3 года назад
Hi! Thanks for watching! Starting out I had one mold for each container. As I figured out which molds were selling better I bought more as I went. I usually made my Etsy orders once they were ordered. For example one of my marbled ovals sold well so I started to make more of that container ahead of time - a couple a day. For the wholesale I did end up buying 7 cylinder molds because I had 75 to make. I ended up making a batch every morning and night and then pouring them all at once. For testing I recommend only using the container once. I haven't reused a container for a candle - I have reused as a planter. I hope that helps! 😊

Hey Kala, I want to thank you so much for your videos. I love the look of concrete vessels. I have a question about sealing the inside. Do you let your containers dry for a few days before sealing or do you seal once you take it out of the mold.

I let them dry out for a day before I seal usually. I can feel if the container is still moist , if so I still let it sit :)

after the candle burns down, how do you take the left over wax from the vessel? I tried and the sealant peeled off. I poured hot water to melt the wax and left to get cold. But the inside and outside started cracking too, maybe the sealant? I used the one you recommend.
@WizeOwlCandles
@WizeOwlCandles 2 года назад
I never had that issue. I usually take a cloth or paper towel and wipe out the inside. I use 100% soy wax as well some waxes may be different. I don't use hot water to clean it just regular temp. Hope that helps!

Try this out and you may not need to add as much water :) I hope this helps! I haven't personally used white cement, but I want to try it out! If it is straight cement and not concrete I would also recommend adding sand :)

Hi from Ottawa Canada! I’m so confused about sealers! I bought the Minwax and “Varathane” sealers I have seen on your video and others. But the man at Lowe’s said that those sewers are for interior wood and said I couldn’t use that. He sold me a gallon of a general concrete sealer. I also bought the really expensive Clark’s Stone and Concrete sealer but it’s expensive and hard to seal molds that have an embossed or decorative outside. What does your Minwax can say it’s used for? Maybe we have different products in Canada.

Hi! I have been using Polycrylic for over a year now with no issues. It is made for wood however through my testing I have not had any issues.

@WizeOwlCandles

Hi! Thanks for watching :) I would say if you are using a high quality fragrance oil then maybe check what temp you are adding your oil at. If you add it to hot then it'll burn off and if you add it too cold it won't bind. Depending on your wax is what temp you want to add. I use golden wax 464 , I add at 160 :)

I use Freedom soy wax from Village Craft and Candle in Ontario. It’s in pellet form and can be microwaved to 160 degrees. I sell candle-making kits so the microwaveable wax makes it easy for a first time maker. But freedom wax is soy and needs a two week cure time for the best hot throw. It makes a big difference!!

Hi. I have a question. Is it necessary to use a sealer for candle vessel? If yes, why? What is the purpose of the sealer.
@WizeOwlCandles
@WizeOwlCandles 2 года назад
Hi! Personally I use the sealer at least on the inside to make sure the wax doesn't seep into the concrete when burning. :)

Hi! Do you know if polycrylic is toxic when heated by the candle?
@WizeOwlCandles
@WizeOwlCandles 2 года назад
Hi! I have tested my candles for heat and have made hundreds with no issues. I also use 100% soy wax so my wax doesn't get as hot as other waxes with additives in it. I hope this helps :)

I’m also curious about the polycrylic that you coat the container with. You have answered about the wax.
@GreenWitch1
@GreenWitch1 Год назад
Polyacrylic isn’t recommended to seal concrete according to the manufacturer. Just fyi. Also, you need to wait until the concrete cures b4 sealing. The round molds come off easier if you cut the lip off the bottom.
@WizeOwlCandles
@WizeOwlCandles Год назад
Thanks for all your feedback :) I use earth safe sealer now if you watch any of my videos that is updated. The manufacturer hasn't tested polycrylic on concrete so that is why they can't recommend it for that. Also I do say in my video to allow the concrete to "cure" before sealing so I do agree with you there 👍 I've never had an issue demolding my round mold but that's a great tip! Thanks for your comment!

Pardonnez mon très mauvais anglais. Vous partez sur une base de ciment que vous mélangez à l'eau. Vous moulez les pots avec uniquement du ciment ( et du colorant ) Vous démoulez. Pardon, je ne vois pas le produit que vous passez sur les pièces ? Séchage puis vous mettez la cire parfumée. Est ce bien cela ? Le dosage et la température semble un mélange savant ,à encore merci pour cette video et toutes les autres. Si vous avez le courage d'écrire tout cela avec les temps de séchage ou température je traduirais en francais avec plaisir pour les autres personnes qui vous suivent.Mille mercis
