I love when you say “it’s gonna create a lot of anxiety” that makes me fall out every time! Your dry humor is awesome. And your videos are very helpful as well. The fact that I have high anxiety makes me feel like someone out here understand lol keep the videos coming 🤣🤣🤣🤣

As a firefighter, I'm really impressed with your commitment to safety & integrity. You set an example for the community.

@speeeee35 3 года назад

I believe he’s a police officer himself. (Don’t hold me to that but I could’ve sworn he said that in another video)

@angelamorris7336 2 года назад

Ahh thank you for your service

As a firestarter, I'm really impressed with his ability to make things catch on fire and stay that way. 😂

@marjoriehart2232 4 года назад

I made wooden wick candles as Christmas gifts this year and had trouble with them tunneling and going out at first. This video is SO helpful, especially the myth busters! I tend to get overwhelmed, but your practical, easygoing style made me confident I can do this. Thanks for putting so much thought and effort into your videos!

@PawsToAdmire 5 лет назад

This helped me a lot, thank you! I have been getting frustrated with my wooden wicks, I couldn't get them to stay lit. Your tutorial helped and now I've solved the problem.

@JD-kg3mx 3 года назад

Candle making has it’s own culture, it’s own world and it has a collection of really interesting characters. Making candles is intriguing. It has it’s roots in how our fore bearers rendered animal fats for lamps and finally bees wax was discovered eons ago. Candle making is noble, creative, artisan, necessary, fun and enjoyable and now intellectually speculative when the science of it is a discussion as to wicks and lighting efficiency. I found it interesting. Good video.

@Ziinhool 3 года назад

Im into making candles and your comment made just more passionate about it! Thank u ✨✨

@sheilavillalobos4106 3 года назад

The most informative video I have found for wooden wicks.

@bridget7322 2 года назад

Sir thank you for this, I’m new to the candle world and I tell you what getting a straight answer has been rough! Lol thank you for talking to me like a beginner and not someone with 15 years experience! I truly appreciate this video!

@aliciahabjan8815 2 года назад

I am so happy I came across your video! You literally answered all of the questions I had. Being in candle groups on Facebook and hearing so many different opinions on soaking wicks and trimming, etc. it’s so hard to know what’s right.

@cynthiamoorehead2450 4 года назад

I have watched several of your videos now to realize that there is a serious science behind candle making. I also learned that I have wasted tons of money on poorly crafted candles. I am now off to start making my own. Thanks again for sharing your expertise.

@864Country 5 лет назад

Just a tip I discovered using wood wicks. The wick clip made for the wooden wicks works great but is rather large. This causes the candle to not burn all the way down. This can be more of a problem in small candles. I have used wick tabs made for regular wicks by just putting a slot in the part you crimp down and inserting wood wick into this slot and lightly crimping. I found this works fairly well and burns all the way down.

@rlight7666 5 лет назад

Great info Stephen! I noticed it doesn't burn down all the way and was thinking maybe I should use regular wicks for small candles. At first I didn't understand but now I get it. You're referring to the round metal tabs to put the wick in? I haven't used regular wicks yet.

@864Country 5 лет назад

Yes the round ones

@rlight7666 5 лет назад

@@864Country Great tip. Thanks

@rlight7666 5 лет назад

One other question. What do you mean you put a "slot" in the part you crimp down?

@864Country 5 лет назад

There is a small hole you cut a slit in that part that sticks up

@triniciaboyd3670 4 года назад

@coraconvay8724 3 года назад

This was great, thanks, I have been researching "can you put coffee grounds in a candle?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Panlijah Inconceivable Position - (just google it ) ? It is a smashing exclusive guide for discovering how to become a candle making master and turn a profit minus the normal expense. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my co-worker got cool results with it.

Great Vid. thanks. As you say the testing stage is so important and has to be repeated if you make changes i.e.wax, fragrance etc. May sound daunting but the satisfaction you get from the feedback of your customers is well worth it!. Hopefully the U.K. market will add a lot more options to the wood wick range. Thanks again, and keep the video's coming.

Great video! It makes it easy to understand how to use and test wooden wicks. I am also impressed with your tutorial's video quality. Would you mind to share what equipment (camera, lighting, mic) you are using for your video shootings? Thanks for your answer in advance.

@mobilemarshall 2 года назад

Pretty interesting stuff, I didn't know there was so much technicality that went into making a good candle.

@truthforall9311 2 года назад

@omshieldsla 3 года назад

Hi Tim, new to your video's and I was very impressed your knowledge. I'm using Apricot/Coco wax and my candle vessel is 3.5 at the top. Would I use the 3/8" booster wick?

@Vickimpearson 4 года назад

What's your take on using mica with wood wicks? I've seen people use mica in the wax and seen people coat the wick itself with mica so there's a coloured flame? Would love to hear your thoughts.

@kimberlytaylor6538 3 года назад

Glad I found this video ❤️

@MyGaiaStyle 5 лет назад

I love your videos. They been helping me craft better candles. I always been in making my own spiritual candles where I add oils and herbs to a vigil candle. But as of last month I decided to start crafting and making my own candles from scratch. Your videos has been helping out when it come to the cotton wick because my wick kept getting choked out in the beginning now they're burning just right thanks to you. I been wondering about wooden wick and this video is just perfect. I love your editing of your videos and the way you structure the delivery of the information. Flows really nicely. Thank you for the time for making this. I follow you on all your social media. Except pinterest I don't think i found a pinterest account for you which if you don't got one I think you should really utilize that platform it's meant for purchasing or making a purchase decision.

@julianne24601 2 года назад

Thank you for the video! I’ve been having issues finding the right wick so I’m going to back to the drawing board, test one more size, if I’m not happy with that, back to wooden wicks. My supplier didn’t have many sizes available unfortunately

@hypnotichaylee 5 лет назад

Ty for this! What do you do with the candles after the test? Do you liquid and remake

@TimberRidgeGifts 5 лет назад

I remelt them and add the wax to the "experiment" section of my shop. Basically turns to scrap wax that I can use when I need to experiment and make a mess in my free time lol

@susanf6230 5 лет назад

Thanks so much for this video. It’s very thorough in covering the different types of wood wicks and how to test them. I have the wood wick sampler pack as well and am in the process of making test candles. Your explanations during the testing was very helpful, what to look for, what is working and what is not working. Thanks again!!! 👍

@rokyochan 3 года назад

Thank you so much for the info. I'd like to start using wooden wicks with soy wax and I have seen some people using two wicks in one clip and didn't know why.

@davneetkaur2002 2 года назад

Sometimes 1 wick isn't enough to form a full melt pool when the mouth of the container is too wide. Having multiple wicks helps you achieve a full melt pool.

@gabrielemcgregor7361 4 года назад

I Love your Videos. You explain very well. I am doing Wooden Wick Candles and I am just a beginner. Can you tell me which size of the Booster Wick I should by for 4 oz - 8 oz and 10 oz? The Jars are between 2" and 4" in Diameter.

@melissakeller3628 5 лет назад

My question for you Tim, is with the wooden wicks that you cut off can you use them for other candles if they are long enough to fit thecandle or is it just one use?

@jereynolds51 5 лет назад

Do you do this test on all your candle wicks

@sabrina77769 3 года назад

Yes, you can recycle your wax. I’m doing it on 4 test candles.

@PeterKuzemchak 2 года назад

The wicks no, but you can recycle the wax

@mrkngkhan 4 года назад

As a newbie getting into candle making, what wood wick or Cotten wick would you recommend for an 8 oz mason jar that is 3.5” H with a 2.9” diameter? Fills about 7.9oz wax. I prefer wood because of the crackle and pop, thanks!

@TimberRidgeGifts 5 лет назад

Don't forget powdered dye as well! Definitely on my to do list!

@loreenalabad300 4 года назад

What type size tin and there did you get wick

@karenleslie7058 4 года назад

Thank you. I ordered some wood wicks from the company you suggested. Could you suggest what wax or wax blend to make molded votive candles? The kind that is removed from a mould. One candle company said GW tart melt wax would work but it's not coming out of the mould. I'm desperate to find a wax to use for pillars and votives. Would like to stay with a soya or soya blend. I'm new to this and am using this coved virus time to perfect my candles so I'm ready for farmers market time. Also Candlescience company does not ship to Canada. Can you suggest a company that sells good quality fragrances that ship to Canada? Where do you buy your containers? Thank you so much

@steph9407 4 года назад

If I’m making a candle in a big Bath and Body Works sized container, do I need to put 2 wicks in (and double them)?

@BirdWhisperer46 2 года назад

Will wood wicks work in Crisco candles? I live in cold country and using these candles for the heat they give off under a clay flower pot. They work good for that and burn for a week on one can of Crisco with 2 flames, but the cloth wicks are under performing, they fall down.

@karrieblum8996 5 лет назад

I just subscribed to your channel and been watching your videos for about2 hours now. I do have a question once you trim that wood wick and it's long enough you can use that for another wick correct, just put a wick clip on it?

@karrieblum8996 5 лет назад

I can't see what wick size worked best, and it that a 3" wide container, and is that a double or single wood wick?
