We don’t use the same wax or vessels but I love that you’re so transparent to other candle makers. Too many people are secretive as if it’s going to change someone’s brand 🖤

@MemoryBoxCandleCo 3 года назад

I’ve had SOO many people ask me if I’m worried about giving out so much information. I always respond with nope! It doesn’t matter how much information I give out, NO ONE will be able to take my brand away from me ❤️

@teeh5251 3 года назад

What percentage do you suggest of fragrance if your wax only takes up to 6%? It says it could take a higher fragrance load with a blend? I use nature C3.

@MemoryBoxCandleCo 3 года назад

I would do 6%, and if you want to add more I would do so very carefully and only by a little bit and do lots of testing. Using too much FO than your wax can hold can cause a lot of issues. Or you could play around with blends as it suggests!

I love your black matte tins ! I have similar , but with a gold rim . They are pricey but the quality is worth it . I love how you are so open and honest and have tried and true methods .... I'm terrible at math and actually determine how many ounces my candles are by having a boiling pot that has the inside listed ( 200 ml 300 600 etc so I know when I make my 9.5 oz candles the melted soy will say *roughly* 300ml in my boiling pot . Also I've seen some candle makers marketing their candles by BURN TIME not by ounces which I think is brilliant.

@waynegross2113 3 года назад

Hi Erika, very nice burning candle! No drastic flame, no flickering, just beautiful! I always use wooden wicks in my tins. I think you were smart to go with two small wicks verses one large wick. It really keeps your sides nice and burnt down correctly. I bet you get a very nice hot throw from these little beauties! Jill

Hi Ericka! This is a great video, thank you for your thorough explanation. :) Question: the wick that you cut, do you reuse it for other tin jars? Like add the metal holder to the cut wick and use it so you're not just throwing that away? I'm debating getting super long wicks and doing that with the excess I cut off.

Net weight refers to the total weight of the net contents inside the jar (not including the jar weight) so net weight is the combined weight of the wax and FO

@shadowpumpkin8019 2 года назад

Is it more beneficial to use grams over ounces?

@IRISistibleMakeup Год назад

I love your videos! I have a question though. You have pretty basic wax shapes so I'm guessing creating a mold for them isn't a huge deal. What if I want to make really weird shapes like bodies etc, that are NOT on the market tho (so I can't buy a mold model from shein for example), how can I create my own mold model? Do I 3d print it? Or...? Thank you in advance.

@lovee1284 3 года назад

Hi, question. Do I need to wait for the wax to cool down before pouring the fragrance oil? Because here in the phippines, (based on the tutorial that I watched) They melt the wax at 180 F, Pour the Fragrance oil at 140 F then pour it to the vessel at 100 F. I hope you can reply :) Thank yoi!

I am not sure why Erica does it, but I use a smaller gram scale for my fo be sue I feel like with measuring such a small amount, it is more accurate 🙂

@MemoryBoxCandleCo 3 года назад

I feel that the smaller scale is more accurate (even though the larger scale can measure in 1.0 grams, I just feel like it’s not as quick to show me the weight) ❤️

@shannonmac7801 3 года назад

Genuinely curious, and I'm not trying to be an extremist but being super new to candle making and researching waxes I've found that soy wax products are not GMO-FREE. Is this true?

@MemoryBoxCandleCo 3 года назад

Thank you so much for watching :) And this is a very hard question. I know that not all tart waxes are able to be blended with container wax and used in candles. I would refer to the supplier of your tart wax to see if it can be used in candles. Every single thing I’ve ever done has just been from experimenting and trying things out. You NEVER know unless you try! That’s always my advice- if you are wondering if something will “work” try it! That’s the only way to know ❤️
