While I'm learning to make candles myself, I've found that multiplying water weight by .86 will give you a pretty accurate weight for the wax needed to fill your container. This is good to know if you want to make only one candle and need to know how much wax to melt. Melted wax weighs the same as when not melted. Thank you, Erica, for taking the time to make this video.

@MemoryBoxCandleCo Год назад

Yes this is how I do it now! This is a very old video and I didn’t know that back then :)

It is always interesting to watch other candle makers, make their candles. Although there are general steps we all follow, every candle maker is unique in their own way. I always enjoy watching your videos and you give some good advice and try to be thorough. May I suggest you do a wax melt video next, to kind of stay in a series of making videos? Also have you considered scoopable wax? I've been making it for awhile and I have a decent client base with it. Thanks for the video!

After doing some searching I found a leather scent and an Old Spice scent. You got me thinking of some more masculine scented candles, in a more “rugged” container. Thanks for the information.

@smolshay 3 года назад

I really enjoy using the CandleScience method for oil loads and additives to the wax. Take how much wax you'll be pouring, multiply that by the percentage of oil you're adding depending on what your wax can hold. I usually pour in very small batches, so 16 ounces multiplied by 8%. It tells me that I need 1.28, or rounded up to 1.30, ounces of fragrance oil needed to be mixed with my wax. And I find that the easiest way to clean out remnants of wax in a pitcher is boiling or almost boiling water. Just pour it in, and wait a bit. The wax will melt off the edges and form up at the top, then you can just skim it off and reuse the water for washing dishes or something.

It really just depends on the kind of jars you’re looking for, a lot of mason jars or even straight sides 9 oz jars can be pretty inexpensive of you buy in bulk! (Candlescience, theflamingcandle, Aztec, etc) And honestly I would have at least two different sizes 💜 (I don’t but I’m working on it!)

Soy has additives to make it burn. The high consumption of soy also has a negative impact on the environment-some makers won't use soy because of that. The lady was using paper cups to measure in her video-not good for environment?
