Wade, you are amazing! I am just starting out and have been wondering about these things but had no clue that there were requirements for the product label itself. You are truly providing candlemakers so much help & support! Thank you, thank, thank you! If there was a 'Candle Maker's School', you would be the one to teach it! I love your easy to digest content! ❤

Thanks so much! Wade!! I haven’t be around in long time. I always keep in mind about be simple on the amount of candles I have on my website and grow slowly as at soon I have control . My problem is that I actual have my full time job plus I do candles and time is a big fact . I just want to share this with you and the audience. I have pray about continue making candles vs just close the website and in 4 of July I sell a 2 big orders. I know is probably not a lot but for me was a big deal , and now I’m back to drive again, but in back of my mind I remember every video that you post and I’m very happy to be back in track. Ty again!!

Thank you! As a soap maker and now a candle maker, who sells mostly at fairs and markets, my biggest frustration is the labels. My undertsanting of Fair Label laws and standards has led me to put all required info on my labels. Then I see so many that don't. Even in boutiques. Which is why I love your comment that one fail can affect us all. I am interested in seeing you covering tealights and wax melts too. Again, thank you!

I thought there were standards on container temperature as well but this wasn't mentioned. Either way, I track the container temp with every burn (after 4 hrs), along with flame height, flicker, sooting and mushrooming.

Are you able to add “disclaimers” on your warning label? For example when you decorate candles with dried flowers/herbs. “Decoration purpose only, remove before lighting”

@RoseKindred 3 ай бұрын

Thank you. One thing I cannot find, and I know it is not as major as with flame candles, labels for wax melts/bars/drops, etc requirements. I've made my own wording, based on other labels, but many I have seen use their "Candle" labels. Even some I got from a big brand was shrunken flame warnings. Maybe I am just missing something obvious, but this is an area I am lost in and worried.

@curedheartcandles 3 ай бұрын

Great tips! Do you have a template suggestion for candle testing? I’ve tried creating my own but tend to never stick to them and end up with lots of scattered notes. Any suggestions on how to stay organized with testing notes?

@stephaniesheppard7032 Ай бұрын

Question, newbie here, haven’t started making candles yet. How should I reference lot numbers for candles I will make. I see the wax has a lot number and probably everything else we put in our candle. With all those lot numbers to keep up with. Do you have a spreadsheet to help keep lot numbers and your personal batch lot numbers organized? Hope this makes sense. Thanks

@vs2972 3 ай бұрын

Great information...Question about jar temps. I hear and read a lot about max jar temp can't reach higher than 140 or some say 175 degrees. Can you clarify this? The ASTM I purchased doesn't have anything about jar temps. Yet people claim this is an ASTM standard.

@ExperienceKevsworld 3 ай бұрын

I might have missed it, but does the ASTM say that the candle should be burned from start to finish or just the four hours? My sheet only has the four hours but I'm going way past that. I am working through the entire candle, and it is taking forever to get through 40+ hrs. lol I document every burn by the standard with varying timed burns including power burns. I'm actually learning a lot in this phase too. Thanks for your video, great as usual.

There actually isn't one contrary to belief. There are general recommendations that a lot of people have but there is no ASTM standard for it... even in the recently updated ones

When I buy a candle I go by fragrance. Why would the net weight and grams be important to someone?

@KrewEditsWithMaddieAndKiki 3 ай бұрын

A little confused about the weight of the candle. What is the net weight is different from each candle. So if I have labels made I would need many different labels. Do you just estimate? Or do you have a way to be sure all your weights are the same? Guessing you’re very accurate about your pours… or me yet.😊

@IrishQ76 3 ай бұрын

You can either have different labels made or put your jars on a scale when pouring your candles to insure your candles are the exact weight every time. Hope this helps 😀💞

@BlackTieBarn 3 ай бұрын

You should try to make them roughly the same. You can alter your recipes so that they end up being basically the same. Or just put the smallest net weight on your levels. If they range from 7.8oz to 8.1 just put 7.8 on all of them

@Candle.makingferal2 3 ай бұрын

You just pick a weight. Buy 2 candles. You make you pick one of them. That's the closest wait
