Omg best video I was wondering why my candles did not smell now I know

thank-you so much for making these videos!😀i’ve been making candles for a little while now & i wish i’d had these as a guide when i started out🙏🏽there are so many videos out there that show methods that really don’t work in practice and/or are unsafe, but yours are fantastic! your steps are very informative & easy to follow, thanks😊

i watched them so far very good

Your Chanel had change so much after 2 years. Congratulations 🎉 I’ve been watching few videos

Thank you, Great video, lots of good information.💕

Thank you for making this video, and I'm grateful that you also mention measurements in the metric system. Very helpful! 😀

Great video! Amazing tips! Thanks💖

there's something so satisfying about watching candles being hand poured, thank you for your help.🥰

Fantastic video! Thank you

Very clear information. Thank you

Awesome video! Great tips. I'm looking to open a business so this was very thorough. Thank you.

I just wanted to say thank you so much for sharing all this information. I am so happy that I came across your RU-vid. I've learned so much and can't not wait to see how my candles come out.

When you first started out, how much were you selling your candles for?

The best tutorial I has seen, thank you for sharing your skill and knowledge, I’m watching all the way from Scotland , love your cute cat to!

Thank you for your video. Just made my first batch of scented candles following your instructions. Whoop whoop💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿

Thank you for making such a clear and informative video. I’ve been making candles for years and never thought of using the inside of a pen to press down the wicks. That is such a great idea😊

Thanks for the video! I tried making candles a couple of years ago and it didnt work out so well. I have now done more research and hoping to succeed. I'm looking forward to trying exactly what youve suggested.

Very informative video!! Thank you

SUPER DUPER helpful. I will be purchasing the GB 464 and some MANLY' fragrances for myself. Ironically I already have the thermometer and other main kitchen stuff.

Thank you very much for your videos!

You have been such an amazing help!!! I started making candles and it was just horrid, after I started watching your videos we got so much better results!! But we are still struggling a bit. 😔 But we will get there. So thank you, thank you!!

great video I'm still new to making wax & candles but love how informative I love using 464

Thank you for the info! I’m about to order my first set of supplies and really wanted to try Soy wax but saw a bunch of negative videos about it. Yours is the first one I’d say is actually helpful

Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge.. I'll be making my first batch in a week or so following your tutorial.. fingers crossed! 🤞 Hugs from Argentina! ❤️

Very informative. I won't even begin to say how much 💰I've spent buying candles at the store. I am going to make my own from now on. You rock !!😆 Thank you🌿🌻

Thank you for such a great video. I believe Ive been adding my FO and pouring at a high temperature, I will try your temperature and see if that makes a difference to my candles.

Im going to be purchasing the presto melting pot! Love your videos, hoping i can accomplish making some candles soon!

Great video!

Just coming back to the first video I watched last year before my chandler journey to say thanks for everything. We launch April 1.

I know this is 2 years old but I love to watch your videos, very informative! Thank you so much!

senor standley usted es una persona muy generosa por ensennar todo lo que sabe gracias un millon que DIOS lede larga salud y larga vida

Great video, thanks so much! I made my temp. adjustments like you recommended and have excellent results.

Please teach more on coloring. Thank you. You teach well.

as someone who is about start making candles again after not having much time to do so in recent years, I gotta say that this video is very helpful…and obviously kitty approves 😋😎

Thanks for the tips! Really helpful. I found out soft fragrances don't burn well as you mentioned👍 Now I need to try the wick you've mentioned. Thanks again!!

Absolutely love your channel. Very informative. I was wondering how many fragrance selections are good for a beginner and also do you just use a day of the week to make and replenish your stock or do you continually make candles? A little bit overwhelmed with orders and I’m trying to streamline my process a little bit....Thanks !

Love your videos

Love the cat...what a cutie

Thank you so very much for this video! It helped me a lot - very specific and clear info - and I can't wait to make my very first soy candles tomorrow, yay!!!

When you begin pouring your first candles as a beginner, should the 8 oz jelly jar be used? Thank you in advance, Jeff! All newby 💗 to you.

Thank you for this video. I'm new to working with wax and I suck at it so far. I'm working with the GB 416 wax, because I'm making melts. Everything you don't want to happen has been happening. The hot throw is almost nonexistent, the tops are lumpy, it frosts horribly and it doesn't release from the clamshells without a struggle. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I'm adding my fragrance (10%) at about 183, stirring for 2 or 3 minutes and pouring between 135 and 165. I started pouring at 145 and I've adjusted up and down trying to find the right temp.My room temperature is always right around 72ish. I want so badly to figure this out, but man its a lot harder than I anticipated. Also I had no clue about the fragrance oil eating through things. I measured out and separated my oil into small dixie cups earlier and within just a couple minutes it was all over my counter. I was so confused, lol.

Always awesome. Thnkxx for the cool paper what u have made for me. With my name.

👍thank you, good info. So that’s why our soy candles don’t give off much scent. We need to burn them hotter with dif wicks. We make them just for us & we burn them only in the kitchen sink for safety. We’ve reheated the leftover wax so many times it gets dirty looking so we add a few coffee beans & it looks like it’s on purpose plus smells good.

Very glad I found your super informative video! This is pretty much exactly what I was looking for! I am wanting to start my own candle making business and am about to order different wicks to test with my GB 464 Soy Wax in 8oz apothecary jars all from Candle Science. I do have a question though - When testing out different wicks in the same size jar with the same wax, will different fragrances & liquid dyes change the way the candle burns? Thanks so much for you're incredibly helpful tutorial!

Newbie here thank you!!

Amazing

I've been watching for awhile now. You explain things so clearly and complicated. I really enjoy watching your ideas over and over again. I have to ask a lot of people say to warm up the containers first. Will that name a big difference if I do or do not warm the containers.

Hi Jeff! I've been watching your vlogs for a month now and I would like to thank you for your advices and for sharing your knowledge in candle making. I am now starting my candle making journey and testing candles for my business soon. Keep posting amazing videos and inspiring people. ☺️☺️ Btw, is it really true that adding coconut oil in soy candles can give you good HT?

Wondering if you have used stearin (stearic acid) in parrafin for pillars? I read that it has major advantages. Your vids are great by the way

Hey! thank you so much for this information. I was wondering how you created your logo and what website do you think is best for creating the labels for the candles?

Pretty kitty ☺️

Hey thanks so much for this informative and super helpful video! I had a question for you, with the ones that you used with the wood wick, did you find it burned well? My father recently passed and I am making candles for my family to burn in his memory. I want them to burn beautifully, and he used to buy woodwick candles so this is exactly what I’m hoping to recreate. Would love to hear how it worked for you (or anyone in the comments!). Thanks so much for helping this come to fruition. Much love.

I love this video for making soy candles... I’m really interested in using essential oils instead of fragrance oils... what’s your opinion?

This is such a great video n appreciate your detailed information. I have been afraid to make candles for years even tho I have made tarts for years. I’m. Not intimidated anymore. Thank you. Have you found that some fragrance oils are watered down? Some of the companies I’ve tried have terrible fragrance throw n seem very watered down but others are thicker n more like oil. Any company recommendations for scents? God bless

Thank u Stanley

My sister was asking me how I was going to manage making candles with cats in my house. I guess I'll have to tell her "however this fellow does" LOL!

This video was so great! Thanks for all the tips. I am new to candle making, and I cant seem to get my soy candles to have any hot throw! I have been using C-3 soy wax from the flaming candle company which seems to handle great. I also have been using fragrance oils from new directions aromatics, which say they are good for candle use but don''t say soy specifically. I am unsure if it is the fragrance oil I am using or if I am not using the right ratio, I was wondering what your wax to fragrance ratio is typically, and if you have any tips for me?Thanks so so much in advance!!!

I too love your videos, they are filled with such great information. However, I am so confused on the temperature in which to add the FO...so many say add at 185 or the FO wont bind with your wax. Please help! Thanks so much for sharing.

Hi, your videos are so informative Does it matter if you add your fragrances at a low temperature? Lets say at 130f? Will the fragrance blend in well with the wax? Also whenever i have made soy wax candles When they burn for 3 hours, the wax has all become liquidy and it doesnt really look nice when its in a clear jar. Is this supposed to happen with soy wax?

Thank you for showing this. One of my favorite things to do is to make candles. I learned some new things in this video like certain fragrance oils do better in soy. One question though. I find it hard to clean out the container. Any easy tricks? Thanks so much. Loved this video!

Hi, I have a quick question! I have watched most of your videos on different wax’s you have used and your reviews. You were right about the 100% soy wax. I have spent a lot of money and can’t see much progress in terms of hot throw. Since I live in England it difficult to get hold of paraffin coconut blend. The only ones that are available are 100% soy, soy coconut blend and soy paraffin blend. Which one can I use for best hot throw?

Hi, I have been watching a lot of your videos. Your my go-to video when it comes to candle making .... what’s the difference between Soy 464 and 415.... thank you for your anticipated response ....

Thanks for the great video. This is the best one I've seen. I want to try that wax now. I use a eco soy wax and that makes so much sense that adding the fragrance when it's too hot will burn it off. Can you recommend a pine scent? I tried making a candle with pine essential oil and even though I put a ton in the smell was extremely weak.

Amazing video! How do you avoid getting wet spots? Thanks!

I'm just getting into candle making and I have the actual making process down to the T. It's the scents. I started with essential oils aromatherapy (BIG MISTAKE) I brought some strong scents which left my sinuses all messed up making my room feel stuffy as I couldn't breathe. I'm about to switch over to regular fragrance with a more softer smell.

Hi Jeff, thank you so much for your videos, they are great! I have a question, I am testing my jars to see how much exactly wax & FO to put in each jar. I did all the formula, and I came out for a 6 oz jar that hols 5.8oz of wax with 10%FO=15 gr of FO and 158gr of wax, but the jar doesn't get full. So, I keep trying to add a little bit of wax and now I just did 160 gr of wax but still not full at the line. What should I do? I am using the same jar you have in the video with the wooden wick ( I think it's the same, Candlescience,Medium Straight Jar. Thank you!!

Hi! Can this be done with silicone moulds? I’m planning of selling some on Etsy with fun little shapes. And also, can you put the wax in a plastic measuring container to melt it? Thanks!

Hi. Would you suggest the HTP 104 wicks as an all around good wick for 464 wax or Eco?

What size wooden wick would you recommend using in those jars with that wax and would you use a small in para soy

Stanley, cab you please reccomend the best soy wax for pillar candles? Something with a good cold and hot throw

Will adding fo at such low temperatures work with nature wax c-3. Could you do some experimenting with c-3 as so many people use it. I'm using c-3 and i'm verry hapoy with looks but can't get a strong throw. Thanks and love your videos

Love your channel. Question for 1 candle of 8oz jelly jars how much soy wax and fragrance oil should I i use thank you

Out of all the parasoy waxes you have used this far, which one seems to give off the best hot throw in your trials? I would like to use straight soy wax but they seem to melt a bit while out at farmers markets in the southern heat. The parasoy was a good compromise for me.

Hi sir very informative video! I have a question for you. My surface is uneven and I know heat gun will solve this issue. Do I use the heat gun 4-6 hours into the curing process or it is advisable to wait a week when the candle is harden and then use the heat gun? Thanks!

Thank you for all the information. Can soy wax be used in India?

I want to make wooden wick soy candles but I love florals!floral! Since they do t hold well should I just add a little more frangrance?

Great video! Where do you prefer to buy your fragrances?

Thnx for the video

Nice video. Thank you. I have a question from where I will get those bottels?

Hi Jeff. What brand thermometer do you use? Amazon reviews are scary as to the inaccuracies and I'm not trusting the digital laser one I just purchased. Something is a bit off with that one. I need one like yours. Help!
