It's about the same as 464. You may need to use a larger wick as it burns slower.

Yes you should be able to use that however the coconut aroma might transfer into the lotion candle.

That should be a good jar and wick size combination. Many times the black soot is actually the fragrance oil. How much fragrance are you using? Did you notice in different fragrance or all of them?

Thank you!!

You're welcome! How long are you letting it burn before blowing out and using? Did you use the exact oils and wax in the recipe? Some oils and waxes are harder so they will solidify quicker.

I really wanted to thank you for spending your valuable time in replying to my doubts and questions. I am sorry if i am annoying you. I really wanted to make a massage candle after watching your video. I used shea butter, pure coconut oil and pure soy wax. I only had these materials with me. I let the candle to burn for 10 mins.

We do not sell warning label for the water absorbing crystals

The glue from the wick tape is only meant to keep the wick in place. Candles should never be burned completely to the bottom so the tape would never be exposed to the skin if that is the concern.

Melt & Pour soaps work best in plastic molds and should release easily once cooled. www.candlesandsupplies.com/soap-skincare/melt-pour-bases

Thank you! We love the look too! That is our Mold Release Spray, linked here... www.candlesandsupplies.com/Universal-Mold-Release-Spray-NO-AIR-SHIPMENTS

We poured kelly green wax into this jar - www.candlesandsupplies.com/10-oz.-Laconic-Jar-per-dozen

Paraffin is flexible so it carves easily. Beeswax can also be used for carving but it is much more expensive. Soy and Palm waxes are very brittle and just break apart when carved so they do not work well.

​@@CandlesandSuppliesthank you so much for the clarification!

Black smoke is usually caused by either the candle wick being too big or the fragrance oil in the wax. Wax itself burns cleanly, its the wicks and scents that cause the smoke.

It sounds like it's probably the essential oil - a lot of them have very low flashpoints and do not do well in a burning candle. Fragrance oils produce better results in candles while essential oils require a lot of testing for problems like this.

Such a great recipe! You can feel the difference!

We sell the rack and equipment on our website which I will list below. There is a candle handle and insert used to hold the candle in place, both can also be purchased on our website below. www.candlesandsupplies.com/candle-making/candle-carving/candle-carving-equipment

Soy wax

Dipping vat temperatures should range from 160-170 degrees for best results.

Germall Plus would be an excellent choice for the preservative. Linked before for you! www.candlesandsupplies.com/2-oz.-Germall-Plus-Preservative_2

Hello! Unfortunately that is proprietary information. We only sell the beads, we do not make them.

We have not tried isopropyl alcohol in this product. Generally speaking alcohol could help with preservation but I would worry about it competing with the fragrance oil and not sure how it would react with the crystals.

Thank you just made my purchase! I have one more question. I recently had apricot coconut cream wax & had the same problem that you was mentioning that the cold & hot throw wasn’t strong. With me having a cream wax will this be different then what I already have?

@@digitalboy2245 the cream wax is much different and definitely does not have as good of a scent throw. That's one of the reasons we love the Coconut Apricot wax so much!

@@CandlesandSuppliesthank you & appreciate the feed back. can’t wait to receive mines & will leave a review once I try it out!!

Absolutely! Waxes won't mix together unless they are both melted.

We have not been successful using soy wax for carved candles because it is so brittle and crumbles when carved. It's best to make your core candles from paraffin with microcrystalline.

@@CandlesandSuppliesthank you I will try that If that doesn’t work do you think I’m not putting enough layers or the temperature is too high ? the temp was 180 degrees Thanks again

We use 3 micro cubes www.candlesandsupplies.com/Microcrystalline-Wax-Cubes-per-lb-_2 per 10 lbs. of wax.
