I just started making candles and wax melts. I am using Pillar of Bliss from Nature's Gardens for my wax melts. They scent throw is amazing! No complaints from anyone that have used the ones that I made. I don't have any complaints. I am going to stick with them. As for fragrances, I use Maplestreet and Lonestar. Thanks for the tip, regarding the butcher paper. I have been using newspaper.

Hi Stanley, Always enjoy your videos, I have now a successful candle business and have used your videos as a guide to help prefect my own candles. I found it difficult to find the right sized wooden wick for my Soy candles, not only was it hard finding the best sized wick from wooden wick co it was also difficult to get a consistent crackle whilst using pure soy wax. Also I had alot of feedback from customers who never have burned wooden wicked candles about wicking out after lighting. Alot of people do not know about the maintenance that wooden wicked candles need. Could you perhaps do a videos showing the perks of wooden wicks and the disadvantages of them. Also different waxes or blends to use! Much love.

@aubreybrown1662 2 года назад

Thank you so much for your tutorials they have helped tremendously. I do have a quick question. When adding 2 oz 4625 to the 6006, are you adding 14 oz of 6006 to equal one pound or are you doing one pound 6006 plus 2 oz 4625 totalling 1 lb 2 oz?

Hi Jeff. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! Once you have poured your wax in the container and it hardens, if you’re not happy with the wax because it is too soft, can you melt it again with the scent in it and add some more paraffin to it to make it a little harder? Can you, in general, remelt wax once it has the scent added to it? Thank you!! Tina

@AverageJoeandaMustang 2 года назад

Since melts are similar to wickless candles, what would you use as far as wax? 4627? I use 6006 and 4625 for melts? I would a heavier load though for a wickless candle in a vessel.

@considergoodthings7749 3 года назад

Question- when you put a cube or two of the wax melts on the melter, how long does the scent normally last before having to add more cubes or empty the wax from the wax warmer?

@oscarsmom9733 2 года назад

My experience is 4-6 hours for a good melt (frag oil). If it’s a strong note like a cologne or musk, 8-10 hours but with varying levels of fragrance. Strong scents almost morph. That is typical and normal. Most bakery scents, your lucky to get 3 hours.

Sometimes short, sometimes heavy. For labeling purposes, it should be exact, correct? What to do with the ones that are short or heavy by .1-.2 ozs?

@sassyjones3981 2 года назад

I stopped adding the exact oz to my labels for this reason. It's a handmade product, we aren't machines. I would clarify on your website/shop that due to the product being hand poured, the wax melts range between "x and x" weight. :) I do the same with my soap bars!

@StandleyHandcrafted 2 года назад

That's awesome, congratulations! 4625 is meant for melts because its harder and can snap. If you're making candles you want a softer wax and only add a little bit of 4625 to help stiffen up the wax. maybe 10%

@Mark-vs9rk 4 месяца назад

Dumb question for if a wax says it can handle a 10% fragrance load. Say I wanted to make roughly 100 ounces of finished wax at 10% fragrance. Would I take 100 ounces of wax and add 10 ounces of fragrance to it (9.091% fragrance weight) Or would I take 90 ounces of wax and add 10 ounces of fragrance to it (10% fragrance weight) Basically do you add 10% of the weight of the wax or have 10% of the finished product be fragrance? Your example of adding 1.6 oz of fragrance to 16oz of wax equals 9.09% fragrance in finished product (17.6 oz total) While adding 1.6 oz of fragrance to 14.4 oz of wax equals 16 oz of finished product with 10% fragrance oil by weight
