Wow, this changed a lot of my thoughts about testing. I literally had to take a break because nothing was working. I have decided to try again, but I am glad I watched this video first. Thank you for always being a wealth of information. You are invaluable to this community.....and funny too!

That's what's up!!! Set up your system and make sure you understand as much as you can about the items you are using. Let me know how it goes.

@gloandcompanyboutique215 3 месяца назад

You're the bomb! Your explanation and advice are right on point and I love your sense of humor. I predominantly use wood wicks and just started testing cotton wicks similarly to how you test yours. There were lots of trial and error with wood wicks and it took me about a year or two to finally get it right. The biggest learning curve was having patience. I used to do a mid-way test to save on wax, but I discovered that was so incorrect. That's the worst test ever. Just like you stated, I learned that you must pour your candle to the top as you would sell and go through a complete burn test. In this manner, you know somewhat how it will burn in a customer's home. Ohmygosh there are so many variables, but your video was one of the best I've seen by far. Much love to you! I may have to make some concrete vessels soon. 🙂

Good video highlighting the need to understand what elements are fixed like the wax to establish a benchmark then apply the variables such as colour or fragrance. This way you avoid confusion and always have a point to reset back to.

I’ve been blending my own waxes, finding the perfect % of each paraffin and Soy. Taking into consideration my fragrance oils. Wicks have been a challenge as I have four different size containers all various different diameters and heights. But I like this info and I plan on putting it into play immediately.

You will figure it out. It’s not always easy but if you do the work now and do it thoroughly you’ll be more successful in the end. Let me know how you do.

Hi Jai! Thanks so much for your helpful content, just finished your course! Question, can you explain why you want to see a hangup? Thanks!

@upvibecandle 3 месяца назад

Hi Kerry. That's wonderful. You want to see hang up so that you have added protection from the flame. In order to maintain a proper temperature on the surface of your jar you will need a bit of hangup. Think of hang up like a coating.

Hey Jai! I was wondering if your course covers only concrete or both concrete and hydrostone? Also in my country i do not have access to ESF. Any idea what hydro dip is made of so i can find local suppliers and start experimenting?

Hi. Absolutely. It not only covers hydrostone but as I add more and more content to it hydrostone will be a part of the growing part of the course.

this might be a stupid question, but is adding pigment to concrete candle jars considered a variable that can change the way the candle burns, even if it’s the same mold?

@upvibecandle 3 месяца назад

That's not a stupid question. I haven't experienced it personally. It's probably not likely but not improbable. I would have to test them with all the other variables constant.

i’m having a hard time because i’m using coco84 which is coconut and beeswax 😂 the least viscus and most viscus combined

@upvibecandle 3 месяца назад

Yes I can see how that is a problem. I would personally start with Zinc, Ultra Core and possibly a CD or CDN wick then go from there. Are you set up systematically? Which wicks have you tested? Also, did you test fragrance free first?

@moooonbeams 3 месяца назад

i have tried Eco’s and it started off fantastic but then burned way too hot as it reached the middle.m, so I wicked down and it tunneled lol. I also tried LX and HTP. LX kept downing no matter what the size was and HTP was pretty good if I double wicked but then I tried HPSP and it was nearly perfect aside from a teensy tiny bit of hang up on one side of the vessel which i read is *normal* for coconut and beeswax. I have some CDs laying around so I’m going to experiment with that and order these other ones you’ve suggested. I also haven’t tried them without fragrance so I’ll do that too. Thank you for responding to me :)

@upvibecandle 3 месяца назад

@@moooonbeams Let's start with this... there is no such thing as a perfect candle. There might be YOUR perfect candle but there are too many elements for perfection. With that said you want hang up. Don't get caught up in the "I need a full melt pool by 4 hours". Trust me that is incorrect information. Ideally you want a little hang up. If one side has hang up try twisting your wick when you secure it. As it burns it will help with that one sided hang up. In my opinion you seem to already have a winner.
