It's less of a problem with woodwicks, especially multi wood wicks as they have increased surface area. You can also just lightly brush the surface of the finish candle for a "gold leaf" sort of look and it won't be too much. As for directly into the candle, about a pinch or two for 16oz. The amount shown in the video is way too much for a cotton wick and might even push it for a wooden one. Like less than a pea size works fine.

That’s a great tip

Yes or at a lower temp and lots of mixing.

Perfect

Winner of a video, been searching for "soy candle instructions" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Cenadoelyn Candle Contemplation - (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my neighbour got great success with it.

Some food coloring does not have water in it

I’m sure it looks good, but if it doesn’t burn because pigment clogs the wick you just wasted time and wax. Can’t sell it. It fails the test.

I have a question. What am i doing wrong. I add specific candle wax colourant to the wax when it's all melted. Been stirring and stirring and stirring for more than 5 mins and the colourant just falls to the bottom and stays as lil balls. Ive googled this problem but not found anything along these lines as even a problem that people know about. Dx i think it was too hot?

Glad it was helpful!

No food colouring because it wouldn't burn well

You can peel it using a potato peeler. You can carefully cut into tiny pieces n add a piece at a time, Grate I recommend & Use the potato peeler

Mara Fuser thank you for watching

thirstylearner so those are jam and vegiemite jars 🤣

sheri vegas I was talking about the glass jugs in which you had the melted wax

Why is anyone still using paraffin?? do you want to get cancer?

I’m not a massive fan of them in my soy wax as I do find they can effect the way my candle burns

@@sherivegasartist Yeah, they work better in paraffin

Mica powder will drown your wick, resulting in waisted candles

Wax and water are the best together

Never use crayons as it clogs up the wick.... using crayons is a BIG NO NO when Candle Making

No you can’t use lavender stems as wicks and no you cannot use Soap Dye in Candles or melts

Raelyn yeah water base does not go well in wax

Me too

🤦‍♀️

You must have an oil based food dye because regular food dye is water based and wax which is oil is polar and non polar and wax mixed with water based food dye would just separate because water and oil don’t mix it’s impossible without a specific process which breaks down hydrogen bonds

How about food coloring?

The fragrance you use will have a fragrance load in the description from where you buy it from.. eg: if my wax temp is at 30*c and in the description of the colour liquid says 25% then you need to wait for wax temp to drop to 25%.. You can add the colour at any time, I do this.... hehe The best way to melt wax is via the Double Boiler Method

you can just not add colour and soy wax will set whiteish

@@sherivegasartist Hi Sheri, thank you for your prompt reply. I am sorry for not making my question clear. I do not want white or opaque, I want colorless, just like glass or at least close to it / see through.

@@sum1sw not possible with soy wax

Yes, and that is an easy way to start candle making cheaply and easily.

Yes.

all depends on the type of wax you use. It should say on the website or the packet

Too much liquid means your wick is burning too hot. Could be the container or the wrong wick

yes you do

@@sherivegasartist what is the best temperature to pour the soy wax n at wt temperature shud i add the fragrance oil

Thanks for the great advice

It’s called Black Cherry from Aussie Candle Supplies

@@alwyngreen7205 thanks I’m sad their sold out!

@@veronicamontez9672 errs a place to buy this fragrance from www.fragranceshed.com.au/fragrance-oil-black-cherry.html Hope this helps :)

I’ve never thought to try that before. I have no clue if that would work

@@sherivegasartist I may have to give it a go 👍

xXWolfXx great idea

Great tip very helpful

Good Idea

Personally I'd recommend just getting colour made for candles. That way the colour is way more stable and predictable.

Have you not seen a teaspoon before?

I heard to let it cool to 135

it's a soy wax base, you can find the exact one in her full guide for beginners
