I’m doing the same thing Kim, I normally make cards but my fingers flare up after a while so thought I’d give candle making a go but the melts look so much easier.
Hey Kim, I’ve just started making snap bars (wax melts) and when I de-moulded it it left a lot of wax in the moulds and was very rough on the actual wax melts and just overall didn’t look very nice. I’m using soy wax and I’m not sure why it happened and I’m not sure how to fix it.. do you know what might have caused it?
You need to make sure the wax is totally set hard before de moulding. Heating at the correct temperature and adding the scents and colouring at the correct temperature is vital too. When de moulding it’s always best to pull at the mould first before taking the actual bars out. Hope this helps.
There should be a list of things in the description. You will need some wax, a pan for melting, a thermometer(gun) some scent, colouring if wanted, and moulds,
When buying scents from reputable companies they will have an information sheet on each and every scent, that you can download and apply to stickers(to go on the back of your packaging) which lists all the ingredients chemicals etc to comply with the laws of selling wax melts.
@@leahmckean9420 just ensure if you’re selling to the public that you go by the correct procedures. The labelling is very important. That way you’re covered. Take a look at the RU-vid channel - edensSecret1 she is very good with everything and she has a multitude of videos about wax melts, suppliers and more.
Candlescience actually has EcoSoya pillar wax for wax melts but it’s in flake form. The other wax they have in pellet form is BW-921 pillar soy wax for melts also. Just fyi in case you were looking for plant bases or pellet forms 👌🏽😊
Hi nice video thanks for the information and tutorial. I have a question, what size are the bags for the large candles, they just fit perfectly. And thank you
