If the wax was exactly measured for 2 candles, why was there so much liquid wax left over? feels like there may be a better formula for this. water weight inside the vessel is not the same for wax weight.

She didn't say to fill the vessel with water then weight it, she said fill the vessel with water and put into a measuring cup to see how much liquid you need, which is not the same as the weight. you're better off melting down more wax than not enough..

So far i made 3 batches of candles, first two were the same scent and oil, and had like a almost crumbly top. I read that was because of poring while it cooled down too much. The second batch came out really good with different oil and wax but just had small sink-age around the wick. This video is very helpful for new makers but I was kind of just curious about wooden wicks themselves.

I have a question, so I did a few testing candles and none of them gave me a hot throw. I think it’s because I didn’t allow it to cure for at least 2-3 days. Also maybe it’s the type of fragrance oil I used. Does the type of fragrance oil matter in order to get a better hot throw.

I've worked in the fragrance industry for 20 years. This is an amateur video. You should actually weigh out the amount of wax you need for however many vessels you have, melt, add fragrance and pour.

Great video, thanks! It seems to me that using the wick clip is letting a large amount of wax unmelted at the bottom when the candle will be lit, no? Seems very high to me. Are there any solutions out there to minimize that height? Thanks!

@makesyofficial 11 ай бұрын

Thanks for your comment! Our wick clips are made at a safety height set by the National Candle Association. This height stops the candle from overheating as it burns down so it doesn't combust. We do have a low profile wick clip that can be used for smaller vessels but we wouldn't recommend them for the large ones as they become a safety hazard. makesy.com/products/low-profile-wick-clips?_pos=1&_sid=d4d655d62&_ss=r

Hi Joe! Fill a stove-safe pot with water until the water reaches approximately 3” (12.7cm) height. Pre-heat the water until it is barely simmering (not boiling). The wait until your wax reaches about 180, then you're ready to pour!

I have been researching candle making for several months now and finally ordered some supplies from the WWCo. The Virgin Coconut Soy is beautiful and creamy:) I have started my testing for 2 different jar oz sizes and have had to change out one of the wicks for another which is now working great giving me a nice full melt pool but I've noticed that even after 2 hours of burning my wax looks brown as if it's stained. The parameters for melt pool depth, flame height are right as well.....not sure why it's staining?? Also noticed that as the wax cools its starting to cave in the center?? Any tips for me? Thanks so much! Julie

@makesyofficial 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Julie! Wooden wicks will stain wax a little bit due to naturally occurring tannins in the wood. This is unavoidable unless you use our Whisper Variety. Also, it could be happening if there is vanillin in your fragrance which will also pigment the wax slightly.

@julieaviles2458 3 жыл бұрын

@@makesyofficial So my findings have been that there was a FO that was doing this as well as with the WWC crackling booster wicks #.03, which was the recommended wick if I'm not mistaken.

@TheEmpyroN 3 жыл бұрын

Hello Ariana, when I began making candles for the first time I was having the same issue. What worked for me was slowing down my stirring pace so it didn't create bubbles in the wax, and pouring at a rate that also didn't cause air bubbles and pouring my wax between 150 and 170 F. You can also heat your vessels in the oven for a minute at the lowest oven time as well. This helps your wax adhere to the sidewalls of your vessels and promotes even cooling. My question for you is are you experiencing a sink hole on or near the wick as well?

I would love to use wooden wicks but they don't stay lit. I have tried using less oil and then more oil.

They do work better with coconut wax but I would like to work with soy as its cheaper. They never stay lit in my soy wax. The first burn the flame goes out within 30 seconds. I have tried using smaller wicks and the bigger dual wicks. I have made the decision to use only cotton wicks.

Is anyone else having trouble with the wooden wicks from wooden wick Co? They are going out after 30 seconds of burning.

Hey Wes! Self-extinguishing wicks are a sign you need to increase your thickness and the wick is not compatible with your wax type. What wax and wick are you using now?

You said, the vessels hold 11 oz so you cut that much weight of wax to fill that. But the “fill” ounces should be liquid ounces… not weight ounces.. right??? I’m confused by this

We recommend using weight volume vs liquid volume for candle making as its more precise. So you'd weigh 11 oz of solid wax on your digital scale before melting :)

Hi there! There is no need to do this with our wicks :)

Water weight and wax weight are different.

@makesyofficial 2 жыл бұрын

Correct! We recommend using the scale instead of measuring in liquid oz :)

did she just pour the whole essential oil bottle for 2 small candles??😳

@cameshachandler2983 3 жыл бұрын

It was 2 oz she poured in. The proper amount for the wax amount

@makesyofficial Жыл бұрын

We used a 10% fragrance load for the 2 candles which would be 1 oz per candle.

no need wait 24h just put in freezer :D

Freezers are great in a pinch but we wouldn't recommend putting a whole batch in the freezer as it risks cooling to quickly and causing sink holes or other unsightly things!
