@@dorawashington7886 Can’t win’em all
You did perfect ❤ I'm going to give a shot because I truly need I'm so new at this
hello super helpful but unfortunatly I cant find the downloads
I have a class coming up and I’m trying to figure out how to design the labels for the event. Should i provide a basic label and let the customers write their own labels and decorate while their candles cool? I’ll come back with an update after the event.
Glad I'm not the only one spilling my precious nectar of the gods 😂
😂
Thank you so much for this info I’m currently in the testing phase right now and I have the 16oz tin jars I started off with three wicks and definitely noticed that one side of the edge wasn’t melting properly so I’m definitely gonna try 4wicks and see if that’ll balance out which I’m pretty sure it will thank you for this video 🙏🙏
Awesome calculator, thanks! As a professional UX/UI designer I can suggest a few improvements: 1. "$" units next to "Quantity/Ounces" fields are confusing. Looks like these units can be omitted altogether on the right column 2. Having switches between Imperial/Metric USD/EUR would be a great help for international users (like me ;) 3. Consider adding a bigger vertical margin between groups (section label and fields) otherwise it take time to figure out which labels refer to which group. 4. Consider making a font size for a group label a bit bigger than a label of fields. One more variable that is potentially missing from the equation cost of dye. I hope this helps 🙏🏼
Is the oil necessary? And what is it for?😊
GrT video. I will now purchase Vybar because you taught me something for sure. Thnx
Im a huge fan of all your work. Your advice is everything & helping me in the process to make candles. I have a question so i will join the patron group so hopfully you answer that question
What’s your question?
@@StandleyHandcrafted first of all I'm so thrilled that you replied. This is my daughter's account but I use it from time to time. Anyways, im using Pure Palm Paraffin Wax from Makesy & my containers are 8oz tins & im having a HARRRRRRD time wicking these. I've tried just about everything & can't get it right. I've wasted just about 44 pounds of wax & still Nothing. ANY help?
@@StandleyHandcrafted my latest test was on HTP & ECO wicks but no luck. Makesy says Use Wooden Wicks but the ones they used on a video did not even come close & I used the same fragrance & containers as Charlotte said. Any suggestions on what wick type to use for parrifan/palm wax
@@miaandethanandjordan7747 I would try a few different wicks if you haven’t. You can also change oil percentages to see if going up or down helps. I typically use 8% in all waxes. But this usually comes down to finding the proper wick for the wax and oil combo.
@@StandleyHandcrafted I did. I tried CD, Eco, HTP, Wooden Wicks, CDN & now I'm looking into premier since Wade From Black Tie Barn said on one of his videos. It's very frustrating but I guess this is the process. These candles are for my personal use/hobby but I'm rethinking my hobby. Anyways, thank you very much for replying. I'm a huge fan of yours. Also, I've been trying to purchase your items & im confused on where to purchase? Dyi or west sound or where?
😮 why times .8? Where did that number come from?
That is the density difference between water and wax.
@@StandleyHandcrafted ok. I think understand now, bc they dont weigh the same. Is that what some online candle calculators call wax gravity? I need to go back and watch that many times. But I LOVE your online calculator. Its the best Ive come across. After using it I got hot throw for the first time. Who knew math was so important in candle life? Lol.
hi did you go with the two wood wics for this jar
❤❤❤
Hi Jeff, I am having trouble with my wicks separating from their wick tabs, when I try to pull them taught and secure them in their wick holders. I have tried stripping the wax from the end of the wick with a wire stripper then clamping on the tab myself, using a crimping tool, secured with all of my might, and still they separate! I am making palm candles, for which I preheat the containers, and it is necessary to pour at a high temperature. Do you have any tips which you feel would be helpful? Thank you so very much!
Seedling heating pad works
It depends where you put them. Dried flowers and cinnamon should not be placed on top of candles. It should be placed in the very bottom, not on top.
Do you have a video on how to make refillable candles, as I am getting stuck
Do you have to seal the bottle with the plastic cap, or should we leave it open? Appreciate if you could answer it.
❤❤❤❤❤
Hi! How do we enter shipping cost if we use more than one supplier??
You can enter shipping as one lump sum and it splits the cost across all individual pieces since they all add up to the final product together.
Thank you so much
is the RTV nontoxic at any temperature created by a candle? I'm assuming so, but just thought I'd ask. Thank you !!
Hi! Where can I find the liquid soap base they carried? I can't find anything close to it. Help!
Hey Jeff! Love the content. I have a question about cute times. In one of your older videos you mention that cute times really don’t matter but in this one you seem to change slightly. Has your philosophy changed since that first video? I’m hoping to be able to cut down on my curing times but need to run my own tests first.
It really depends on what you’re curing for honestly. If you are curing just a test or you can test most waxes after about 3 to 5 days and you’ll be just fine. In order to get proper wicking, you definitely need to wait a little bit longer than that so the wax is fully hardened, which is typically anywhere from 10 to 14 days for a lot of soft waxes. Most paraffins when you’re testing wicks, you can test after about two or three days
So I’m using 464 in my candles. Basically what you’re saying is the longer the wax sits the harder it will become. Will that change the wick size required much? Example: I ran a test after about a week of curing and knew the wick was too big after the first or second burn. Scooped out the wax and remade the candle with a smaller wick. Because I didn’t let it cure again for longer is it possible that the smaller wick won’t work even though it’s doing great?
What suppliers do you use?
Ty
Hi Jeff, I’m looking for a wholesaler that I can work closely with. Thank you for all you do in this industry
What kind of color did you use? Powder?
Finally a guy who explains good with example
Thank you
Would you say they burned any different in terms of the wick?
Yes when it comes to wick testing there will be a difference. Testing hot throw, you’re good before the 10-14 day curing time. For proper wicking, mostly in soy, you’ll need wait a little longer before burning. Typically the 10-14 day is long enough to get more accurate results.
@@StandleyHandcrafted oh I see. I use coconut soy 454 and add in about 2% beeswax. Since it contains soy wax, should I still cure the candles for 2 weeks? I’ve heard conflicting opinions about curing candles, where some say it’s a myth from the soap making world… Would you say curing further hardens the wax so that it needs a hotter burning wick?
Where did the cost calculator go??
It’s still there I just have the site down while we build on it.
Love it. Just subscribed to your channel
What about using just soy wax in your opinion if not why?
do you ever colour the wax?
Ive heard so much bad things about paraffin wax, is it ok to just use a complete soy wax for melts in your opinion if not why.
There is a lot of unfair bad press around paraffin and its not as bad as some make it out to be. You can find numerous studies that show its not as bad as its been made. You can still do melts in soy as well and its works great.
Does this smoke when burning?
That’s usually due to the wick being too big or too much oil. Any wax can smoke with those two also happening.
Love it just shoulda shut your notifications off fhe buzzing fir annoying
That’s part of the background song
Thank you!
How do you label the diffusers? Please and thank you 😊
Hi is it 54mls or grams ? 8%
Which type of oil use in it ?? And how much oil added in it ??
I pour about 150 candles in a single pour, is there a secret room temperature?? Having issues with oil separation seems some do make it in shipping
What oil percentage are you using and what type of wax do you use?
Wow thank you so much for the reply! 😃 blended waxes 929 with 8%. Adding oil at 186 pouring at 170-174 I cure for 10 days or more but I’ve had some literally turn to mush in shipping. And most all sweat badly… any thought
thank you for your video and thought. It's very helpful as always.
Awesome thank you ! I'm getting them. yay!
Great Great Great Video!!! Thank you sooo much!!❣️
Thank you. I've tried explaining that when people ask for something like that ❤
Great Video💖
Facebook as a social media app does not suck. Even the Facebook groups don't suck. What sucks are all the toxic people that are in these different groups that I'm in. I feel their negative energy, anger, disrespect, and so forth. Whenever I leave a comment or express my opinion with respect to others I get attached and laughed at. I have left so many Facebook groups because of this. To be honest I prefer to be part of a group in the real world where you meet and see real people rather than strangers behind a screen. But anyways I liked your video.
Jeff do you have them pay for shipping on scents that didn’t sale?
