What’s up everyone...hope you had a good week! Revamped my formula video...showing you how much wax and fragrance oil is needed for one candle using grams. Plug in your numbers - and I hope this helped! Have you nailed down a formula? Let's chat!
All I can say is "THANK YOU!!! and BLESSINGS UPON BLESSINGS TO YOU!!" I looked at other videos and I was so confused. I finally understand the formula for the different size candle vessels and various waxes. I kept wondering why I still had wax left over.... LOL!!! And I appreciate you actually taking the time to show us the formula works.
I would like to truly thank you for the formula example you explained , your the best.. I can tell you care about people cause your not afraid to share information. . Thanks again Queen . .. Your business is going to be Lit and that's if it's not already there. Not many people are sharing this information... Wishing u all the best for your candle business!!
Good morning I tried your calculations I had too much wax not a lot but too much I'm going to try it again!!! This candle math is head banging oh my God 🤯
Oh my God Mrs. Simone out of all the videos that I’ve been watching on RU-vid on fragrance and wax learning how to do the math your video is amazing I think it’s one of the best because I am in the process of wanting to make one candle maybe two candles and I’m not sure how much wax I need and how much fragrance load I’m gonna need to make that one candle what size and what kind of wick did you use with that 9 ounce jar?thank you so much for sharing this video very helpful to beginners like myself
Hey I love that you provided this useful information. I have a question with the wax calculation, Is the wax formula Net wt / (100% + 6%) because this will give us 198 grams or is it Net wt / 100% + 6% because the result will be 209.88 grams but that's not what you got. Is your demonstration more of a visual break down of how you determine how much of what to use or is your method of Net Wt / 100% + FL% supposed to be actually followed like a normal math problem? I just want to make sure that I'm measuring correctly.
@@jessecasmith7193 I had to do the math multiple timer to make sure I wasn’t tripping. we’ll wait and see, cuz I need to know lol. I can’t be having wrong measurements .
Paris thank you so much for all the videos. Every time I have a question there is a new view from you with the answer. I am just getting started. I did good on my first set of soy candles. But I did not know the calculations. So I need to get that straight before I do my next batch. I will be purchasing coconut soy wax this week. I am working to build up clients before I do the remaining part of creating a business. Did you build up clients before you moved to creating the business? Right now I am giving candles as gifts to friends and family as potential clients. Thank you so much.
WOW. I am new to candle making so I am watching a lot of videos, and taking a ton of notes, before I make a couple of candles. This video here.........OMG I understood the calculation☺ I want to use the calculation for the 464 Soy wax. I want to blend 3 FO. Should I use 17g of each fragrance, or put equal parts to equal 17g? Thanks again for your help.
I liked the video but...at the moment I'm using beeswax but I didn't see a breakdown for that...do you think that you'll be addressing that type of wax?
Here I am in 2022 watching your video! You’ve made this learning process so easy for me omg!!! I’ve watched others and they made me more confused then when I found them lol. You’ve made my life so much easier. Thank you!! I just subscribed 🫶🏽💕
@@prettygemini When you enter you name and email, you wouldn’t get a message except ‘Thank You’ then receiving a follow up email with your username and password to get access to the freebies. Not sure what happened. I just tried it and haven’t had a problem.
Thank you so much for this video. I'm curious though my match isn't adding up. I contacted the Copan I bought my oils from and they told me my net weight is 30ml ... and that's amount of ml I have on the bottle.. but Is that correct bc the math is all wrong on my end. Also I'm getting lost on the division then when you add my numbers are completely different even following your examples... like I'm just confused basically.. HELP anyone
Hi Paris, thank you for the video I have ordered a Presto Pot and Love it thanks I was thinking about getting one. I am so glad I purchased it the two scales were a great addition too I noticed that my weight was off to thank you so much for being a Blessing with all the information. I do have one question on your video where you were talking about picture of your candles in front of your stairs I was trying to get the company name where you purchased your background from. I will add that all the information you have put out here I have purchase or doing.
I don’t understand what a fragrance oil percentage is or how to find it, can you help me? Like how people decide on 6% or 8% etc and how they get there. Why did they decide on that percentage and how do they find it. It comfuses me a lot is all. Also I love your videos!
It’s the percentage of FO used in candle making. It determines the scent throw. The max percentage is noted to candle suppliers website when you browse each fragrance or different waxes. People choose a number based on what the supplier recommends and test up or down from there.
@@LadyCIMONNECandleCo I think I understand a bit more? If I have more questions can I comment on this? Because I have a candle making kit but I don't think it says those things :(
Hi Paris!! Your videos have been a big help for me in starting my candle making journey. I have an important question about the amount of dye to add. I haven’t seen a video on this yet. Like I have with the fragrance oil amount. I have an 8oz jar. My wax amount is 164g. My fragrance oil amount is 17g. My whole content load is then 181g for one jar. How much dye would I need? I played around with a few but I didn’t measure (silly of me I know) and I have different colour consistencies. How much dye would you recommend with my current stats? I’d love a response if possible! I want a guide amount for the dye because I intend to make batches so they need to be consistent. I hope you have a wonderful 2023 when it comes too.
Make testers and when they cool see which color consistency you like. Keep your dye separate from your FO & Wax. Do a 1 drop method for your liquid dye, adding more drops with each tester. That’s how you can see which amount of color you like. This way you don’t waste product but are getting results.
So I was making some candles a few weeks ago and when I poured the wax in the jar, the wick completely lifted. This has happened more than once with CD and Eco wicks , and when I poured at different Temps. Have you had this happen before?
@@onthisjourneyofself-love3023 That’s probably the melting point for when the candle is lit. I would call and ask. Typically soy wax is heated to at least 185.
Hello! Will this information be available to download? Also, it's difficult to catch when the c6 blend is available. Is it okay to order it from a different vendor as long as it has coconut and soy blend?
I had to come back and look at this video...all this time I thought it was 198 grams of wax plus 18 grams of fo...but your using 180 grams of wax plus 18 grams of fragrance oil to give you a total of 198 per jar??? Omg 🙃
