Hey my man, ran across your channel. I suffer from depression. I’m 36, with three kids(all girls lol) I wanted to start doing candles to see if that’ll help. Thanks for the in depth tutorial. I only made 10 and they came out pretty well! Thanks bro! Appreciate it more than you’ll ever kno

lol My daughter was correct when stating the percentages of the wax! Parasoy is 70% paraffin and 30% soy. My new candle supply site. www.westsoundcandlesupply.com/

@spinrash6000 7 лет назад

Next video you make apologies to her lol She did an excellent job, but i highly suggest getting a crock pot to melt your wax gas stove should never be use to heat up such things as candles. Thanks for sharing.

@StandleyHandcrafted 7 лет назад

Spin Rash Thanks!! 😁 Gas stove is ok when using the double boiler method. Direct heat to the pitcher is definitely something to avoid.

This was great, thanks, I have been researching "buy soy wax candle making" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Cenadoelyn Candle Contemplation - (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my friend got excellent results with it.

Hello, I work with a 70% beeswax-30% coconut oil blend and have had a hard time with sinkhole and tunnelling well burning. Your tutorial was fantastic! I add essential oil’s to my candles and fix them with a heat gun after. I’ve always had trouble with the scent not being present after they were cured. But what you said about using the heat gun and killing the fragrance totally makes sense! So thank you!
