Omg where have you been all my life 😭. I love candles, kinda obsessed lol. I've been watching so many videos on RU-vid how to make them but got way more confused then was before. Thank God I found your channel, you explain everything so well. Now finally things make sense. Thank you so much ❤️

There is a lot of good information 👏 here. Thank You

Your videos are so helpful I am trying to start a candle business and I've been watching your channel Non-Stop thank you 👍

I started to see your videos, I thank you for the valuable time. You are a great teacher in the matter. This video helped me a lot. Thank you so much!

Very helpful technique. Thank you!

I just purchased jars from dollar tree just like the glass Libby jar. And was thinking how man wicks should I use? Then poof you posted this video! Thank you!

OMG, I just ordered the same tins from Dream Vessel and your video could not be right on time. I am so thankful for your videos and approach to making candles perfect for the consumers, as a beginner in the candle making business your videos are very helpful.

If you form your two wicks into a double helix in the square container, all four corners are more likely to melt as the candle burns down. This can be accomplished by pouring many thin layers and twisting the wick holder a little after each layer solidifies and before pouring the next layer. It would be labor-intensive, so probably not commercially viable but maybe fun to make one or two for yourself, maybe even with rainbow colors.

I brought the same containers the Maroc be my first time making large containers more than one wick I hope it comes out well your tip help me out a lot

this was an amazing !!!!! video I needed this

Thank you for your expert generous ideas tips tricks exceptional helps. Mucho Gracias

Very informative video 😀..thank you

Thank you so much for this info I’m currently in the testing phase right now and I have the 16oz tin jars I started off with three wicks and definitely noticed that one side of the edge wasn’t melting properly so I’m definitely gonna try 4wicks and see if that’ll balance out which I’m pretty sure it will thank you for this video 🙏🙏

thank you for this!!!

Thank you for sharing

Wow I learned so much🖖

Great video thank you so much

Thanks for the video. You did mentioned that you use 2 wooden wicks for the zen tin but I was wondering which size? Also what's your though of using CD or ECO wicks in zen tins?

I'm just getting familiar with making candles and your videos have been so informative and helpful! You're the best! Understanding which wicks to use is of great assistance. Thanks so much! Do you have a blog because I am not on Facebook.

I will be making my order soon for these tins

Very useful Thank You

love the blooper idea :)

Jeff your videos are so valuable and make me feel like someone has my back. I'm wondering if you cut those cardboard circles to the burn diameter of each wick? I think it's a wonderful idea that could save a lot of trial and error. Thank you so much!

Thank you... ❤🇿🇦

Your videos are so educational.. love them. ❤ I do have a question where do you buy your container sooo beautiful

So since the htp104 are gone what wicks would work just as good. Thanks for your videos very helpful

Love your videos I love using wood wicks and in this video using the the square jar what wood wick would you recommend or how many ? Thank you

Awesome video , I’m in Australia and here we use mostly CDN or ACS no idea what HTPs are 😅

Thankyou you are Amazing !!!! Nz 🌴🌴

Hi! Love the videos! Are you able to do a video on cleaning up and refilling old candle jars? Like how to remove left over wax, clean up and refill the jars?

Thank u. Plz tell which wick is more good for long burnings

Gracias por activar la opción...tu video lo podemos ver con subtítulos en español ! muchas gracias y un abrazo!

I know this is super old but hopefully you will still see my question. I am wanting to test on the miraca and zen from dream vessels that you showed in the video. The wick suggestion helped a lot thank you. Would you use those same wicks with coco apricot wax? That is primarily the wax I want to use. Thanks so much. You're awesome

Hi, your vd's are so educational in this world of making candles I'm just starting up, so its all new to me, but one question i would like to ask, when you have find your perfect wick can you use that times 2 or 3 depending on the diameter of the container?

Hey Jeff, thank you for all that you do to help. I was wondering what wick would you recommend using Golden Wax 464 with the Zen tins? I would like to use a wooden wick but not sure if that’s smart? Thank you. Blessings.

What is your opinion of CD wicks for 8 oz jelly jars and the 3 wick tumblers from candle science....I use 6006 but I add about 10% 464

Hey Stanley, I ordered the candle starter kit from you which came with the igi 6006 parasoy wax. It is sooooo amazing. I want to stick with using only the igi 6006. Would you say its the best to use when making candles? I hope so because using other waxes, my candles have NEVER ever came out so great with amazing scents unit the igi 6006. What do you think?

How far should the wicks be from the side ? 1 inch ? Lone star for the wood wicks ? Thanks . Great video .i use 464. (I use the square jar) Libby jar

Hiii Jeff, I Love the pot like vessel, where did you get them from if you don’t mind me asking?

If we are using the CDN wicks what would you recommend for the size on the maraca tin jar?

Hi there - Just wondering which HTP wick size you would recommend using for double wicking a 4" diameter container size? Or would you recommend using 3 wicks? Thank you so much!

hello Stanley Handcrafted How are you? when you make candle making can you able to use Stoneware (canister), rubberwood (lid) and silicone (ring) container is it safe for candle making?

Which cotton wick would you recommend using 464 soy with the Zen?

Did you use IGI 6006 for all the containers in this video?

Is it possible to use the HTP 104 with all size jars?

What size cd wicks would you recommend for the purple zen tin?

How did you center the miraca jar I have them but I can’t seem to keep the wicks centered when cooling

I enjoyed your video. I just made some candles in big Atlantic clamshells (6-7 inches) using 464 soy wax, and I think CD 18 wicks, but the wick holders are visible after a short burn. Any remedy, Thx! What would you recommend in a wood wick? Ty

I am watching a lot now because I like your deductive and experimental reasoning process, and am interested in how you pick which wax. This one was IGI 6006, which on paper sounds fine, but why not 6098 this time, or even the single pour production wax from Candles and Supplies, or the ubiquitous 646? What made you pick 6006? Well, really, what I'm asking is what makes you pick a given wax for a given project. I have seen others who tell us which wax, but not exactly why. Could you outline some characteristics from your experience? (Perhaps you have done this in your archives and I just haven't got there yet...) Mind you, I live in FLA, and it is already near 90 degrees here, so I have to think of melting points sometimes.

What size jar did you use for the circles?

I burn everything! No wasted wax here 😁

Can you use a company’s wax with a different company’s fragrance and wick? Thanks.

Hi there! Quick question. My container is 4.5 inch wide 3 inch depth. Using Joy wax. Want to use .003 medium wooden wick. Should I use 1 or 2 wooden wicks? Thank you!

What size wick for the morracan if I'm using CD Wicks and 6006

For 4 in diameter. I want to use wood wicks but I don’t know what size to use, or should use smaller ones and just double wick it?

Is it necessary to add a lid to preserve the scent?

Hello, hoping that you answer, but I did not hear you mention in this video or answered any question previously about this in the comments. QUESTION: What were the diameter size for the wooden wicks that you used in the Zen vessels? Thank you!

Love your videos! Would you mind telling me exactly where you bought those candle containers? I have not seen them on either CandleScience or Lonestar... Thanks!

I have these exact jars, using c3 wax. Want to use 3 wicks

Thanks for this video Jeff! I saw your post on Instagram a few weeks ago about the Zen containers and ended up getting 24 in white, I love them! How do you think the Eco 2 6" wick from Candlescience will do? I got parasoy blend wax and their wick guide suggested those.

Has anyone tried the Infinia? Did you use 1 or 2 wicks using ECO 16(candle science)

Hello how are you? Can u please tell Me where u got the bigger jars?

With the wider candle tins how or what do you use to keep the wicks in place?

What size was your wood wicks

HI. Could you tell me how much wax and fragrance you use for the morroca (spellcheck) candle jars? THANK YOU

can i use cd 8 in these same vessels using soy wax ?

I don't see the porcelain containers on candle science, do they still sell them?

Hello. I have the miraca vessels and wanted to know how many wood wicks would I use, and what size?

I was just deciding between the Zen and maraca. Did you seal the Zen like the site suggests? If so with what?

Hey Stan hey! Thank you for replying to my email... Hey where did you get the zen containers? I make candles for myself and give as gifts and I love those containers. Thank you sir.

hello where can i find these metal container ?

Anyone know where I can get 5” or wider diameter candle vessels/jars?

I have been making candles for years. I'm cheap, so I'll melt down stubs or candles that have tunneled, because the outer layer of was is harder than what actually burns in the melt pool. I've used paraffin and soy, some more successfully than others. I like wire cored wicks because they don't require a lot of support for when I pour into containers. Since they are difficult to find and braided cord available is made overseas, instructions aren't on the packages for the direction of the wick's weave for a clean burn. An upside down wick will produce mushrooms I was hoping you'd show the proper direction for the weave to stand in a base.

I have American soy wax Jeff. I bought HTP1212 wicks. I guess that is too big? I just bought a sample pack from The Wooden Wick

NEVAE with eco wick is a 14 ok or need a 16 thanks

what type of wax did you use for the libby Jar? if 464, can i use to small wooden wicks diagonally? thanks!

I you have a jar with 3 wicks, how do you stabilize the wicks? I. E. What clip or product do you use to keep the wicks straight while you poor the wax? Thank you

Wht would you charge for each candle?

Standley you are badass and I love your videos!!! :)) I have a question.... What if your vessel is a tin can 1" deep 3" wide using Pillar wax BW 921...What wick would you recommend?

Can you recommend the best soy wax to use for candles please? Loved this, thank you so much for another amazingly helpful video!
