This is so helpful for me I was making candles and stopped got stuck trying to create a business with no where to go for help I’m in michigan and I watched hundreds of videos and this is by far great thanks. I am still resting as we speak I want to get this started back up just needed a starting point thanks I will for sure be using this information. I do have my business name and LLC I have sold a few just never really got off the ground correctly
I am so glad you are here… and there is no better time to get started “again.” Let me know how how things are going. I’ll keep posting content to help everyone. 👍🏼😊❤️
Thank you so much for sharing! This was so inspiring & encouraging. Exactly the boost I needed to get it in gear launching my candles for Fall.✨ Also, fellow Ohioan here… can’t wait for crisp Fall weather.🍂🤗
Yay...My Ohio people are showing up! I know our weather can be crazy, but we wouldn't trade it🥰
So glad I was able to help you get inspired. Keep me posted as we watch the leaves begin to turn!🍂

Hello Sherry - That was a wonderful, very informative video. Thank you. Keep on making more videos...They are great [always]...
Aww... thank you so much.♥
I was surprised with peoples request for Fall living in Cali and I'm not ready. You gave me some good advice. Thank you!
You are very welcome. Yes, Cali is a tad diff, but yet the same. 👍🏼❤️
Thanks ! I’m a candle loving Nurse too ❤
Yayyy.... hello my fellow Nurse!
Hello! Thank you so much for this information! I’ve been wanting to do this for two years and I finally bought some fragrance oils from Candle Science. So that lit something under me to now gradually get the rest of the things I need. Although I’ve been doing my research you’ve made it a lot easier to start. Thanks again so much! I will keep you updated on my progress! I’m in Ohio also! Closer to Youngstown,Akron,Cleveland! God bless🙏🏾
Yayy… Tiffany, I’m so glad you are ready to start now! I’m sure you could def. relate to the weather changing in Ohio during the fall. 😀. Let me know how things go! 💗
Hello Sherry! Thank you this was helpful, What wick would work well with that container using coconut apricot wax, I bought too much. will try coco soy next. thanks
Hi Martha, I certainly understand that...LOL. I've never used that wax on a consistent basis, but I would begin testing with CD wicks size 12, then move up to CD wick size 14 and see if you get a melt pool from edge to edge. HPSP wicks are also a good choice, may want to test with size 42, then 45 and up to 48. Let me know how that goes for you. The CD size 14 may actually work for you, since that is a coconut soy wax blended with apricot. Good Luck!
@@wilcandles Thank you very much. I will let you know for sure.
Hey Sherry, what's the curing time for this wax? Can I use 8% FO without additives? Thanks for this video because I thought I had found a wax IGI 6006 but boy is it hard to wick
The curing time can vary with each fragrance. Overall I would say at least a week and up to 2 weeks. Golden rule always says 2 weeks, but I’ve had amazing HT within 3 days for some fragrances. Manufacture suggests an additive when adding more than 6%. Let me know how things go. You might want to watch my video on the review of this wax and how to make a coconut soy candle. 👍🏼❤️
Hi Sherry! Thank you for sharing this!! I’ve started selling candles at vendor events. What is your best storage for tips for vendor events?
My “Go To” is always stackable totes that have the flip open lids. 😊
Thank you! I will try those. ☺️
@@ThekocholateJournalist You are very welcome 👍🏼💗😊
Good inspiration, thank you. What is the best way to reach you?
You are very welcome and thank you. Feel free to ask questions in the comments... perhaps others will find the question and answer provided helpful as well. Thanks again.
Did you say we need aleast 10 different fragrance i have learned alot ton night
Yes, 10-12 👍🏼❤️
How many candles of each fragrance
@@christinageller1649 I started out with 6 of each fragrance
Hi Sherry can you give some advice regarding what to do about getting a virtual address for your business and how to get that set up? Thanks
You can get a mailbox at any UPS store… and use their street address as your business address. Use the box number they give you and it can be stated as “Unit 1234’ along with the street address . Hope that helps
Thanks
I've just started with candle making for about a month. When do you tell yourself hey now I'm ready to start this business? I have a business name, thanks to my wife. I have a couple fragrance oils already 2 weeks into being made.
Make those 2 candles and see if you can sell them… then add 2 more and keep going. Before you know it, you’ll be in business! Let me know how things go. Good Luck! 👍🏼😋
@wilcandles Thank you. Super nervous but I tell myself every day I'm going to do this. You and Black Tie Barn are my candle university professors. I've used regular soy wax, now I will try coconut soy.
You mentioned C6 wax from CS. I dont see that particular wax there ?
I purchased the C6 wax from flaming candle , but in the Candle Science Wax guide it gives the option to choose C6 wax when trying to find the correct wick size for your jar
@@wilcandles Thank you so much !
Do you think a CD 8 wick from Lonestar candle supply will work well with the 8oz amber straight jars? Similar to the one you have on this video.
Hi Mary, can you tell me what wax you will be using?
@@wilcandles c6 soy coconut the jars are 8 oz amber straight net 7oz
@@marywooden9528 Ok… I think a CD 8 would be too small to wick that jar, you might want to try a CD 12… and if you get a good melt pool within 2.5-3 hours on the first burn… go up one size. Let me know how it works out for you. FYI.. I will be posting a video about how to choose the right wick tomorrow … so PERFECT TIMING for You! 👍🏼❤️😊
@@wilcandles you’re the best! My first test with the CD 8 I got a full melt pool 2 hrs into burning. Your previous video made me question my wick size. I figured a 2hr melt pool was pretty good lol. But thank you!!
@@marywooden9528 Oh… you didn’t tell me that Mary! 😀❤️. Then I think you might have the correct wick! 👍🏼😊
