We don’t use the same wax or vessels but I love that you’re so transparent to other candle makers. Too many people are secretive as if it’s going to change someone’s brand 🖤

What percentage do you suggest of fragrance if your wax only takes up to 6%? It says it could take a higher fragrance load with a blend? I use nature C3.

@MemoryBoxCandleCo 3 жыл бұрын

I would do 6%, and if you want to add more I would do so very carefully and only by a little bit and do lots of testing. Using too much FO than your wax can hold can cause a lot of issues. Or you could play around with blends as it suggests!

I love your black matte tins ! I have similar , but with a gold rim . They are pricey but the quality is worth it . I love how you are so open and honest and have tried and true methods .... I'm terrible at math and actually determine how many ounces my candles are by having a boiling pot that has the inside listed ( 200 ml 300 600 etc so I know when I make my 9.5 oz candles the melted soy will say *roughly* 300ml in my boiling pot . Also I've seen some candle makers marketing their candles by BURN TIME not by ounces which I think is brilliant.

@waynegross2113 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Erika, very nice burning candle! No drastic flame, no flickering, just beautiful! I always use wooden wicks in my tins. I think you were smart to go with two small wicks verses one large wick. It really keeps your sides nice and burnt down correctly. I bet you get a very nice hot throw from these little beauties! Jill

And with all the different shipping rate methods do you get to choose which option when printing the shipping label ? Also do you have to pay for the cost of every shipment individually or is it as an whole. Lastly, are you only able to ship off boxes from the carrier box you use or is it any( for example a first class polymailer or box that isn’t affiliated to a company) ? THANK YOU 🤍

@MemoryBoxCandleCo 3 жыл бұрын

Hi! Thank you for watching :) I’m gonna try to do my best to answer most of your questions, but some of them will just be too hard to explain over text. I would suggest watching this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iKmUh7J7tqzHm4E.html And I hope it helps you ☺️ When you talk about the “free shipping limit you set”, what exactly are you referring to? Yes whenever you print a label, you get to choose exactly what shipping method you want to use! On pirate ship (or even Etsy too) you can pay for the labels individually or all together (when you pay for the labels all together, each label will still be individual but you can pay for the lump some all together. For instance if you need to print four labels, and each one is $8, instead of paying $8 four times, you can just pay $32 one time and still get 4 individual labels) And then I think the last question will be answered by my linked video above ☺️

And it would just depend on the box that you decided to ship it in (you would just try to find the cheapest way to ship it) A lot of people choose to do free shipping over a certain amount so that it encourages buyers to purchase more items, and the seller will just cover the cost because at that point it’s worth it because of the purchase price

I'm not really having much luck with my smaller jars or my small tins, I seem to have a nice burn however I'm not getting any hot throw at 8% FO. I'm using Parasoy wax with a SV400 wick (I know this isn't going to mean anything to you Erica lol, I don't think they are sold in the US). Maybe I'll try going up a bit with my FO level, if that doesn't work then maybe I'll try some 464 or C3 and see that helps, all I know is it's very frustrating after I've just cracked my 30CL jars and got them smelling nice, I was hoping I could just transfer the formula and change the wick but despite getting a nice flame, that's all I'm getting.

Hi Ericka! I wonder that should I let the candle "rest" in a few day before buring or I can burn it right after it cool? Thank you for your amazing video

I leave my candles to set for a week minimum :)

A lot of people let their candles cure for 1-2 weeks!

Hey I'm interested in making candles but would like to start off with the tin jars any advice?

Can you tell us how you optimized for your custom soy wax blend? I'm using C6 and want to add in more coconut oil (maybe add in coco-bright) but I'm not sure how much I would start? Do I start with a 50/50, or 70/30?

@MemoryBoxCandleCo 3 жыл бұрын

I usually start with a 50/50 blend and just adjust from there! Usually it’s the easiest way to start :)

Another awesome video - question ( I'm using Virgin Coconut soy and have IGI 425 that I would like to blend together for both of my candles and melts do you think this will work

@MemoryBoxCandleCo 3 жыл бұрын

I have no idea I’ve actually never worked with either of those waxes before, you never know unless you try and experiment 😃 (that’s the fun part!)

@jenniferperry7588 3 жыл бұрын

@@MemoryBoxCandleCo - I purchase the IGI 425 to go with my GB 464 so that I can use my GB 464 in my melts but decide to go with the VCS and as I watch this video I thought I could do the same well thank you for answer back and if I get up the nervous to try I will let you know. Again thanks :)

How long do you cure before testing?

Any issues with rusting? Ive seen some people say with some oils you get rusting.

My boyfriends mom and I have been trying to make candles but we haven’t had luck with the fragrance coming through. I’ve tried this formula and I could smell the fragrance in the unlit candle but once it was burning I couldn’t smell anything. Could this be because of the quality of fragrance oil I’m using? Right now we’ve just been testing it out with FO we got at hobby lobby but I’m not sure if it’s that we’re not using a quality oil or if it could be something else. 🖤🖤 Tysm your videos have been so helpful and inspiring 🥰

There are MANY factors that can contribute to HT. However, I would definitely try using FO’s from either candlescience or the flaming candle. Hobby lobby fragrances are the best quality. However that’s just one piece of the puzzle. What wax, wicks, jar diameter size are you using?
