O.MY.GOOOOSSHHH!!! Why didnt I watch this so long ago? I had terrible luck when I tried them with soy wax but never retried them when I switched to coconut wax! My jars are the 8oz Libbey and 2 wicks are too hot and a single wick tends to have too much smoke at the end of the jar. So now I'm retesting and seems much better smoke wise but haven't nailed down the sizing yet. THANK YOU!! 😊 🙏

Thank you for this video. I’ve tested so many cotton wicks with my tumblers and everything is great except for the soot I get… and I can’t wick down bc it will tunnel. For the longest I couldn’t figure this out. But I now know it’s common with this type of vessel so I will be trying wood wicks. Hopefully this fixes that issue bc I’d hate not to be able to use what I have.

@rokyochan
@rokyochan 3 года назад
@@BlackTieBarn Thank you so much for your answer! I'm gonna watch your other videos. About the wax, I use soy 100% Maybe could be the diameter of the wick, cause the wax melts fast and creates a "small pool" around the wick before reaching the edges. Looks like the wick could have "drowned"
@BlackTieBarn
@BlackTieBarn 3 года назад
It's a common problem with woodwicks. When you day 100% soy, do you know what kind? Soy is a general term as there are tons of soy waxes and they are not the same. If you have any parasoy like igi 6006 to sample try that and see if you get the same results. For your wax, try a booster woodwick. You might need the extra heat

Can you use any wax with these wooden wicks like para soy blend or are they only used for soy wax. I just read thru 200 comments. I found the answer.yes I can use them in para soy blend🤗

@BlackTieBarn 3 года назад
Yep. Always test of course, but most soy paraffin, and parasoy works

Very good video. I do have a question that I could use help with. I make a wooden wick candles in 9 and 12 oz. straight sided jars. I have learned how to get consistency in a burn but it is a pretty labor extensive pour process. I have to probe the candles and melt the tops anywhere from two to three times to get rid of open holes below the surface of the candle. Most of the time it is close to the wick and if left unchecked, once the wick hits an open air pocket and immediately burns down below the surface and gets drown out by the melt pool. It can be managed and avoided by poking holes in the top of each candles to find the cavern beneath the surface but it is definitely take a lot of extra time and is extremely inefficient. I am a small company and do everything myself but if I get to the point I can have employees to scale the business, the cost per candle would be through the roof this way. I average about 15 candles per hour and if I can get to a true one pour and have a finished product read for a label I believe I can get to around 60 an hour over 4 hours. I currently use C3 or 464 wax at about a 7% load. Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated. Actually a video dealing with caverns and achieving a one pour candle would be great. Keep up the videos and thank you.

Thanks Travis. So you brought up a common issue. I actually have made a video describing this issue and ways to deal with it (much like you deacribed). Unfortunately.... with many waxes there is not always a way to prevent it. Some waxes just aren't single pour or are prone to sink holes. So other than changing waxes or jars... "fixing" after the fact is pretty common. But like you said. Labor intensive. :/

I can't wait to test my sanity with trying out wood wicks. lol ~ Have you ever done a video about adding colors?

Its a beautiful looking navy but the smell..lol...smells like a prank candle.
@BlackTieBarn
@BlackTieBarn 3 года назад
Lol. I haven't but I definitely can. But yep, adding too much dye can definitely create a chemical smell. Most of it goes away but too much and it will linger. Unfortunately it will also likely clog the wick and cause poor burning and/or soot. :/

In another video you mentioned the discoloration with using wood wicks which is the only concern i am having right now.

I don't dip them at all. 99% of the wick is already covered in the wax when you pour them. :) The only thing I do is our over the wick when pouring so that the top was consistent with the rest.

I'm somewhat shocked that the topic of wood types was not addressed. I am a woodworker and want to dabble in some candle making. I can custom size my wicks to whatever. I have access to Pine, red and white oak, mahogany, walnut, cherry, maple, Ipe, heart pine (loaded with natural accelerant) etc. Is this not a consideration to think about?
@BlackTieBarn
@BlackTieBarn 2 года назад
It's because wooden wick co (aka Makesy) (the company with the patent on woodwicks in the u.s.) has this info on their website. I'm not a woodworker so only know the candle application. Because I can only speak to the wooden wicks made for candles I have to defer on the materials to the manufacturer.

Nah. You need anywhere between 1oz and 1.5oz per pound of wax. So the 1oz is enough to make a couple small candles at most.

Hey there, I made a lilac (almost transparent light purple) candle with a wooden wick and it is totally discolored due to the wick. I was wondering if UV inhibitor would help some. Thanks.
@BlackTieBarn
@BlackTieBarn 3 года назад
UV won't help discoloration caused by anything other than uv light. Wooden wicks can discolor the wax as it burns just because of the type of wicks. It does it moreso in some waxes than others. Also, sometimes wicking down helps. But yah, unfortunately it's not always avoidable. :/

@BlackTieBarn
@BlackTieBarn 3 года назад
@@ramayadadevine1875 Hi! Yes you can add vybar for soy if you want. The main reason would be to raise the melt point a bit if its too soft and to possibly help with HT a touch (this effectiveness varies). Do not add it to 6006 though, as vybar is already part of the 6006 blend. Personally, I am not too fond of using soy by itself. I have better results by sing coconut or paraffin with it (cocosoy or parasoy). But, you can also just add a bit of coconut oil yourself to soy if you want to try that. There are lots of ppinions on how much to add. I do not do this myself so I would have to defer to some of the suggestions out there. Hope this helps Ramayada!

Wood wicks actually require less fragrance oil, but give a stronger burn + scent throw. So you can get by using way less fragrance oil which is great for profit margins as well. From my experience most wooden wicks perform best and are usually instructed to only use 6% fragrance.

It's basically the same wick they just took off the last digit when they renamed them. I often use the .03 5/8 as well but in my wider tumbler jars. Those have over a 3" diameter. I wouldn't use them in 8oz jars.... would mostly likely be too big like you are experiencing.
