@DeanWilson 8 лет назад

+A'nnamaria Davis If im making 2 color melts, I add the fragrance then half the wax into 2 pouring pots. Add colors to each. Pour the first one and let it set to a semi hard state, then pour the second color hot, this binds them together.

@natashagreen-chillaxedprod7769 6 лет назад

If found the best and safest wax that won't burn if accidently tipped over is Ecosoya CB135 known now as Q220 now + I add 2tsp beeswax to 200g soy wax as it takes out the ions out of the air that cause allergies and respiratory infections & even when not melting the scent throw is amazing - each one lasts up to 6 days :)

@DeanWilson 6 лет назад

I found CB135 (massage wax) a little soft for soy melts. I prefer a harder melt so it can be removed from a oil burner. But if that combo works for you. Well done :)

@cailinsuiledonn 3 года назад

Another great tutorial, will definatly try these, any idea how long the scent last ? A question I'm sure will be asked by customers!!, thanks for sharing

@DeanWilson 3 года назад

Depends how its used. I suggest to people use it until its melted to liquid then turn the burner off. This allows for the smell to be release but also to make it last. If they do this about 4-8 hours.

@DeanWilson 8 лет назад

Venus X - I only use Pillar Blend for my soy melts and votives. GW464 I only use for containers. I never mix the 2 together. 464 is too soft and will not pop out of my metal molds.

@traceypotts9425 3 года назад

Hi again that seems slot of fragrance to the amount of wax used are they really strong in smell or is the oil your using not strong in scent thanks

I use 10% fragrance oil for my soy wax melts. So if I have 200 grams of wax then im using 20 grams of fragrance.

@suzannerael8577 8 лет назад

Hi, thank you for this video! Can you make a video with all natural ingredients,scents and color please!

@DeanWilson 8 лет назад

+Suzanne Rael Hi, I assume by "natural" you mean Essential Oils? If so, I can't help with that as I don't use EO in my products. Here is why. EO are not designed for candles. Some have low flash points and can be very dangerous around a flame. The flash point of each essential oil is different. Many of the common essential oils, such as tea tree, lavender, and citrus oils, are classed as a Class 3 Flammable Liquid, as they have a flash point of 50-60 °C.

@ashley_mixed_arts5738 3 года назад

Hi Dean, can Golden Wax 464 soy wax be used for melts as well or only pillar soy wax? Also really good to wax a video explained well.

@DeanWilson 3 года назад

GW464 is more of a candle jar wax, it will stick to whatever container its melted in. The reason I was using pillar blend is because its a solid wax, meaning it will pop out of the container easy, ready for a new wax piece.

@NYtalk60 8 лет назад

Thank you for video Dean. I really want to try these. Is there a particular soy wax I should use? I hear some people use container wax vs pillar. I would really appreciate your help with this because I really don't know where to start.

@DeanWilson 8 лет назад

+NYtalk60 I use Soy Pillar Blend because it's a hard wax. Container wax (or Golden wax 464) is designed to stick to the edge of the glass, hence hard to get out of a mold - with saying that I know of a few people that say they use 464 for melts. Give it a try :)

@xmacsx 7 лет назад

hey Dean I am just getting into making wax melts and I had a questions. the wax I've ordered says my maximum scent load is 12% but most of my scents only allow up 1 to 5 percent. what should I do?

@DeanWilson 7 лет назад

Go with what the supplier suggests per fragrance. The wax may hold that much but the fragrance can't be used more then the supplier suggests. It's really important to only do the max from the fragrances point of view. For melts I use 10% MAX For jars I use 8% MAX.

@SimplyMoniqueable 6 лет назад

Hi Dean, I have made several wax melts using your tutorial and they have come out fantastic! I was wondering if you could re-melt them and re-pour into clamshells, and would they lose their fragrance?

I think once or twice is ok, but after that you might need to add 10% more fragrance just to boost it.

Great tutorial :) Just wondering do you have any cleaning up tips? Im finding the pillar blend a pain in the butt to clean up out the jugs lol

@DeanWilson 9 лет назад

+Kara Manuel When I finish there is normally a little wax left in my pouring pot. I put this back into the crock pot and melt it down, put a tissue inside and let the tissue absorb the wax. The wipe with Viva paper towel. I then put water into the pouring pot and let it boil. Put another viva towel inside and wipe up the remaining wax. Now because wax can clog up your sink, I never pour that down the drain. I pour that water back into my crock pot. Saves my sink and makes the room smell nice. :)

@crockett1940 7 лет назад

Hi Do you have to use Pillar Soy Wax. I have soy wax but it's not for pillar candles. Thank you & great video 😊

I use pillar blend because it's easy to pop out of the mold. It's also a hard wax so the customer can get it out of their melter when finished.

HI Dean, I really enjoy all your vids, very informative and educational. I have learned a lot from you on your melt and pour soaps Do's and don't... Lol. Increasing my line of HP soaps .I have tried these soy wax ( not pilar) and the lemongrass EO I added burns off pretty quickly ( 10 min) and I'm left with just heated soy wax that I have to dump.Is this because I used regular soy wax and not pilar candle wax? Did I not use enough fragrance? I would greatly appreciate any input. Thank you again for your videos ;)

I use about 8% to 10% for Pillar Blend soy wax for my soy melts. They hold the fragrance for about 4 to 6 hours. When I make my melts, I melt 230 grams of wax, 15-20grams of fragrance. But I don't use EO. Only FO.

great video, i am new to making candles, i have been doing research on it and i would love to make my own business hear in the UK would you say it is profitable and worth the time? thanks

When starting out, you will spend all your profits and put them back into the business. I found it took me 6 months to start making good money to live on. If you can pick up constant business (which is hard) then you will be fine. Treat it as a hobby to start with and grow slowly and build up your name. No point putting $10,000 into it and finding out it doesn't work for you. It's long hours and expect little in return for a while. I know that seems doom and gloom but thats small business.

If I put them in the freezer would they harden faster?

@DeanWilson 6 лет назад

I am not sure. I have never done that. I have always waited 3-4 hours then popped them out of the muffin trays.

Hi if I am melting 230g can I add 20ml of fragrance?

@DeanWilson 7 лет назад

For Pillar blend wax, you can add up to 10%, so 20ml is fine. But check with your supply about the percentages.

How much profit per 240g is one able to make

@DeanWilson 5 лет назад

That would depend on how much it costs you to make. I told my melts for $1 each but I have seen others sell them for $2.50 each, so it all depends on inventory prices and your sale cost.

@christinageller9133 8 лет назад

howuch do you charge for your melts

@DeanWilson 8 лет назад

+Christina Geller When I had my retail shop they were $1 but normally a retail sells them for $1.50 to $1.95 Some shops sell them for $3.95
