One of my reed diffuser clients just asked me to make them two XL outdoor candles. I do wax melts, but have never experimented with candles, let alone 14.5 inch wide outdoor ones! so that's quite a fun challenge to take. Before purchasing material and diving into the actual candle making, I am obviously doing plenty of research, and your video has been the most helpful resource for me on this journey, Julia. You should really add a super thanks button! + If I may humbly add a point or two from my noob position, I think it's worth experimenting with different wicks before comitting to one type, making sure to test them in the intended use case, in this case, outdoors. As I understand it, some are surely going to perform better than others. I also think it's worth noting that not all beeswax are hard, and not all soy waxes are soft. Lastly, for those of us who ship our products, especially in summer, I believe it's worth looking into waxes with high congealing points, to minimize the risk of deformation during shipping. The one I went for has a congealing point of 120-129° F. I'd love to hear your thoughts on these.
Haha yeah, my first few candles looked super wonky!! It takes a few tries to get the hang of it but the great thing about candles is that you can always re-melt the wax and try again 😃
Oh my gosh I was just going thru all of my subscriptions and thought man I wonder how she is doing, haven’t seen anything posted for a long while and what do ya know… you posted! Hope all is well. Thank you for the video! ☺️💕
