thanks for the tip :)

Glad you enjoyed it 😊

thank you! Put it on a heat safe candle plate, they are usually made of glass.

you are very welcome! Thanks for commenting and letting me know you enjoy them :D

You are welcome! what kind of salt are you using? what kind of burner are you using?

I am using unscented shimmering granules base - dead see salt and basic ceric burner

@@gabriellaungvari-novkov4223 does the base have any information on it about a flash point? So your salt is white and turning brown? In your burner you are using a small tealight candle? DO you have an infrared thermometer that you can read the temperature of the burner to see how hot it is getting?

No I never add oil... if your moukda are breaking you need to cut them down the side.

This video will help czcams.com/video/2kYqUeMiKa4/video.html

@@Candle_Making_With_Jes thank you for your reply. I did it already and it keeps breaking 🥺

@@carinaferreira3098 what wax are you using?

@@Candle_Making_With_Jes O am using natural soy wax. Thank you for replying 💖

I've tried scenting the wax and it went kind of crumbly ... you know like sand in water does ... you can you just have to mix it well so that the fragrance oil isn't just sitting by the wick ... because that is dangerous and can be set alight. But if you mix the fragrance well you shouldn't have a problem :)

This is so interesting because when I was filming this video I sidetracked down a path to where I was talking about packaging these ... I edited it out because it seemed like it needed it's own video but I had to film an into and outro for it and had not gotten around to doing so yet. I will get that video up this week. Long story short is yes those bags are no good. You can't use them :( I'm sorry (I'll explain more in my video)

@@Candle_Making_With_Jes Ok thank You!

Yes that's definitely another way to do things - thanks for sharing :)

Don't be afraid to cut your mould! You can still use it if it is cut :D

my absolute pleasure to help! This is why I do what I do - :D Thanks so much for leaving such a lovely comment for me <3 Please let me know if I can help with anything else.

You can try it but if it doesn't work get some blue tackle, it's pretty cheap

Oh you are so welcome! Is there anything else I can help you with to get ready? You can use the salt you are using, you don't have to switch .... I just had a huge amount of pink him salts

Ok. I will let you know how it turns out when I do the large batch .

you are welcome! oh man! That's A LOT of candles! Have fun making them or it will turn into a chore - if you need help along the way, just comment away on any of my videos and I'll help :) Good luck!

Glad it was helpful!

You are welcome, if you need more help be sure to comment on any of my videos and I will give you a hand :) Good luck!

Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad it was useful to you :)

Hi! I can do a video on this next week for you and walk you through how to make a large batch. I want to make a few videos on how salt sizzlers compare to candle making so let me know if there is anything else you want to know about salt sizzlers okay :)

Ok Perfect! Thank you so much I am looking forward to it.

all my Wax melt customers stopped buying my wax melts because they have fallen in love with the salts.😊

@@usefulgiftsbyveronica3371 that's such a lovely thing 😍 I should have a video up by Friday at the latest ♡

Just the way I recorded it

I usually wait overnight just because my life is busy but you can unmould it as soon as the wax is cool to the touch. The time depends on the climate you live in and time of year. Obviously a got summer day will take longer than a cold winters day. You can unmould as soon as you feel the candle is cool, like actult touch the mould and top of the candle where there is wax exposed and see how it feels temperature wise.

Until the wax is cool and hardened. It depends on how hot.or cold the weather is when you pour the candle. If you are in doubt, leave it overnight and unmould the next day. If you are just pouring the first layer of colour just let it harden and cool before you pour the second colour.

thank you for your comment! You are super welcome - I'd love to make you a video if you need any help with anything, just let me know :)

Ou are very kind, thank you😂. I have done yesterday two mini candles, I.have done something wrong, because I have big sinkhole in both. I have warmed up a bit moulds but maybe not enough or wax was to hot? I melted some ready candle (yankee), not sure what is this wax. I don't want do it for sale, just small gifts for friends. I will try again. Sorry for long post, thank you again for quick response 😊😊

@@agiagata945 you are welcome :) Yes the wax was too hot if there were sink holes in the candles. Are you monitoring the temperature when you are melting the wax? Always check before you pour and you shouldnt have sink holes in the future :)

Yes that would be a great combo! I don't like paraffin either! :D

You are welcome! Glad it was helpful to you :D

Yes of course. You can change the % of fragrance oil to less or add more salt. :) As long as the salt is scented you can't really go wrong

If you want to use a big candle vessel you can either use multiple smaller sized wicks or one large wick. The size you choose depends on the wick you are using. Size 8 wick ... what brand of wicks are we talking about? Regardless of the brand you will need to do testing to make sure that you choose a wick big enough for the diameter of the vessel you are making your candle in. Even if you choose to do multiple smaller wicks you still need to test to make sure the candle burns properly and safely. I have a video on how to do candle wick testing would you like the link to it?

You are very welcome! Hope you found something that helped you out 😁 let me know if you need any help with anything specific and I'll make a video for you

You can remelt the wax and pour it again and the wax will be fine .... but there isn't a quicker solution than that unfortunately 😕

You are right some moulds really do not do well with heat. The freezer does work well especially for acrylic moulds :)

@@Candle_Making_With_Jes I know from experience lol

@@luminarygoddess8642 🤣 how many moulds did you ruin?

@@Candle_Making_With_Jes 2 but I managed to salvage the good one and trimmed off the blob 😂

@@luminarygoddess8642 I wonder what they were made out of because silicone isn't supposed to melt until 400°c and I doesn't melt it just kind of combusts. Wierd

No problem 👍

You’re welcome 😊

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching

They are just scissors for cutting wicks :) I probably called them wick cutting scissors

😀

😀

Thank you- Your wax is too soft. You need to add a harder wax like beeswax to it to harden it. Use 20% beeswax 80% coconut apricot - it will unmould perfectly 🥰

I'll make a video about this - there's a lot to say about it :) I will work on this tomorrow :)

czcams.com/video/7mJj3y20Vkw/video.html This should help :)

You are so welcome! Thanks so much for your comment, it means a lot to me :) Please let me know if you would like to see a video on a specific topic and I would be happy to make it for you!

Thanks for the tip! That would be kinda messy though don't you think? I don't like mess very much :)

Thanks for your feedback - I have bought a new mic so future videos should be better :)

You are very welcome 😊 let me know if you need any help

Blue tack 😁

@@Candle_Making_With_Jes thank you

@@jammijam_ you are very welcome 😊

I used candle dye in 2 separate jugs to dye the wax that I used to make the candles. I have other videos on my channel in my "candle making playlist" that will teach you how to do this :)

Thank you!!! 😊 from Australia with my Canadian accent 😆

Do the bubbles happen consistently with your faces? Like is there a bubble in the mould itself?
