HALLU CRAFTERS!!!
As I have mentioned in my previous candle making video, I've gotten really into making container candles and have loved the process, so I decided to share this tutorial video with you today! This video shows you a POV of the entire process of candle making, and then how my candles look afterwards with my handmade labels.

Great video! I'm a new candle maker myself working on a luxe candle line. I started using the Permatex gasket adhesive(on Amazon) instead of the glue gun for the wicks and it made things a little easier/faster. Looking forward to more content and good luck! 👍🏾

Hi there🙋🏻‍♀️ do you let the permatex adhesive dry overnight or would a couple hours work? I just bought the same one as you on amazon but I’m so impatient lol 😆

@thaddeusd2174 3 жыл бұрын

Hey there! I usually prep the vessels with the wick, wick holders, and glue first. Then I measure the wax, mix the fragrance oils, and usually by the time the wax is melted and FO added I just pour and the wicks have been fine. I don't think it's longer than 30-40 minutes from when I apply the wicks to pouring in the vessels, but I would test and make sure it works ok before you do big batches 😀.

Hi Danny! Love your videos! I’m new to the candle business and I was wondering did you ever have to have to use a heat gun on these at any time? Doesn’t seem like it because of the quality of wax but I thought I should ask.

Do you have to be sure when you buy tunes that they don’t have a seam in them if they have a seam in the chin they tend to leak more often than not. Kendall science has a very nice tune that is it expensive the silver with the metal tops

I use a scale! If it’s your first time using a jar I would just melt a close enough amount of wax and then pour it into your jar once it’s on a scale to get the exact amount

@@DannyCrafts Thanks so much! I appreciate the reply. I've attempted to make 3 candles but all of them turn to liquid after 5 mins. of burning. How long do you allow your candles to cure before lighting?

@DannyCrafts 3 жыл бұрын

@@raventilford2724 Hmmmm I don't think that's a curing issue, but if im test burning a candle I try to wait at least 24-72 hours. If a candle is turning liquid after 5 minutes the wick must be too big, or the wax is too soft. What kind do you use?

Great question! So I bought 8oz candle tins from Uline, but they don’t hold 8oz of wax it’s closer to 6 for me! So I put about 6oz of wax and .6oz fragrance oil for each candle. Sometimes I have left over and I save it

@@lindaquinn3567 haha no worries, apparently 6oz is 170 in grams. I’m not sure if that helps but I’ve also heard about filling the container twice with solid wax to see how much it holds. Although that is volume amd not the actual weight
