We don’t use the same wax or vessels but I love that you’re so transparent to other candle makers. Too many people are secretive as if it’s going to change someone’s brand 🖤
I’ve had SOO many people ask me if I’m worried about giving out so much information. I always respond with nope! It doesn’t matter how much information I give out, NO ONE will be able to take my brand away from me ❤️
@@MemoryBoxCandleCo And not everyone is you :) One of a kind!
Completely agree! I built my business and teaching channel all based on transparency! Just like Erica, I get asked all the time why I would give away information. And why i give so many details. Well, It's a big world... Plenty of business to go around. Plus... I just like helping others. And so does Erica. 😁
I agree
@@BlackTieBarn Thank you, you guys are amazing!
Without this formula I don't know how I would have gotten this far. I have never used any other method. Thank you because I don't know how I would survive any other way. Thanks Erica!
Ahh Yayy I’m so glad it works for you! Thank you so much for watching!!
What percentage do you suggest of fragrance if your wax only takes up to 6%? It says it could take a higher fragrance load with a blend? I use nature C3.
I would do 6%, and if you want to add more I would do so very carefully and only by a little bit and do lots of testing. Using too much FO than your wax can hold can cause a lot of issues. Or you could play around with blends as it suggests!
Ok.. thank you!
This lady knows what she is talking about and I’m only on my second video. New subbie here! 🤩
Thank you so much Erica! You're so sweet and generous sharing all the info..
As usual your videos are awesome. Thank you for being so kind and for always helping out with your tips. God bless you 🙏🏼❤️
Thank you so much for the formula! ❤
I just wanted to say thank you, SO MUCH, from the bottom of my heart for your tutorials, you are a crazy smart human, and I've learned so much from you in the last few months. Your formulas are gold and save us newbs so much time and effort trying to figure things out, or otherwise giving up because they feel too daunting. Thank you, so so much.
You are SO welcome ❤️❤️❤️
Just want to say, you’re amazing!! Your videos are so very helpful 🙌😭🙏
Thank you so much Erica for share with us your wonderful videos!! Really I love it! ♥️
Thank you so much for watching! ❤️
Nice job Erica. The tins look great! Love the color theme (obviously). 😁
Hey thanks! 😁
Erikca you're so helpful! I'm trying to start out of South Korea and I love how transparent you are! You're literally an angel! 화이팅!!!!
Thank you! So clear and perfect!!!
Thank you so much, Erica! You rock!
Watchung from the UK....Love your honesty and the help you are giving us all, thankyou (who on earth is giving you a thumbs down ? How rude !!)
Hello, beginner here Thank you so much for the information. I have been watching your videos all week and getting my materials ready to start my journey. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thankyou for the demonstration and informative video.
I enjoy watching your videos.
another great video - thanks for sharing your tips - very helpful.
thank you so much for another fab video. xx
Oh wow thank you so much for the video a week ago I was just Struggling with making my 6oz tins 😇
Thank you so much for this video. I been had my supplies but the math was holding me back 😩🙌🏾🥰
I’ve always used a different formula and have had issues, definitely changing to this one.
(I have been doing this to get 10% FOL 170x0.1=17g FO 170-17=153g wax) thank you so much for your guidance to the whole candle maker community and sharing your own business formulas, it really helps all of us ♥️♥️
Love this ! Thank you so much for sharing ❣️
Thank you for watching! ☺️
Great video! I learned a lot.
I just ordered 8oz tins to make my 6oz candles and I am so excited! Thank you so much for this tutorial 😊
Yayyy you are so welcome! Thank you so much for watching! ❤️
This was very helpful. I am starting off with 8oz tin candles with 6 oz fill for my new business. Thanks for the information!!
You are the best! ❤
Very informative, thank you for this
I love your black matte tins ! I have similar , but with a gold rim . They are pricey but the quality is worth it . I love how you are so open and honest and have tried and true methods .... I'm terrible at math and actually determine how many ounces my candles are by having a boiling pot that has the inside listed ( 200 ml 300 600 etc so I know when I make my 9.5 oz candles the melted soy will say *roughly* 300ml in my boiling pot . Also I've seen some candle makers marketing their candles by BURN TIME not by ounces which I think is brilliant.
Érica you are so sweet and sincere. Thanks so much for showing us how to make candles and be so precise. I work full time and i barely have time to experiment. You help out a lot. It’s so hard to try to balance both. I’m hoping that I can successful as you. I’m trying 😔
Thank you so much for watching, you can do it! ❤️
Thank you for sharing with us❤️
Thank you for watching! 💜
When I first watched your "candle math" video I literally thought I was going to CRY! Then I calmed down and watched it again and I was like, "Ooohhhhh....I get it!" Now it's pretty easy! Thanks!
Ahhh well I’m so so glad you get it now! That’s huge! ☺️❤️
I can't wait to smell your candles 😍
With every video I watchby you, you pursuade me more and more to get back into candle making 😂
My 6oz Candles arrived today! Seamless shipping, super quick! Made my mailbox smell amazing too!
Oh yayyy! Thank you so much for purchasing! ☺️💜
@@MemoryBoxCandleCo haven’t been disappointed yet! So far tried The DJ, Autumn Air, Vinyasa Flow and Malibu Coffee Shop.
Very cool love ur vids!!!
You are my hero. Thank you SO much for all of your informative videos, as well as all of your expertise. You are STELLAR and I appreciate you ! ( especially the math part hahah)
So glad my videos are helpful for you Shannon!! ☺️
Hi Erika, very nice burning candle! No drastic flame, no flickering, just beautiful! I always use wooden wicks in my tins. I think you were smart to go with two small wicks verses one large wick. It really keeps your sides nice and burnt down correctly. I bet you get a very nice hot throw from these little beauties!
Jill
Thank you!
I recently started making candles and decided to try a wax blend with soy and tw30 😊 I am using a different soy than you, but this video helped me know I am on the right track 💛 Thanks so much!!
Awesome!! ☺️
Just ordered Eco 1 to try, we can't get them here in Canada such a pain but I really wanted to try cause my test with 2 eco 2 was to hot. Thanks for your wonderful helpful videos.
I have these same tins and use the LX-22 wicks. Get a great melt pool but I can’t stand all the mushrooming. I’m definitely gonna try double wicking now after seeing this. Thanks a bunch, love your channel.
Thank you!
Thank you 😊
This is helping so many people! I did have a question though, since TW-30 has a fragrance load of up to 18%, how would you figure out the max fragrance load for your blend? Thank you so much!
Thank you .x
Yay 💙
Nice . I will review and review this video
Hey, Erica! Thanks for the tips! Question, what temperature is best to add in the fragrance oils and pouring?
can you do a video explaining label requirements TIA
Hello, I love your vlog so much good information. Keep up the good work. May I ask what size labels you use I want to try side labels to give a different look? I normally use 2inch glossy white on the top.
You are very good 👍
I love it!! I see that you still have not put the handles on your presto pot!! Lol
Nope 😂
very very helpful, thank you so much. By the way i Love your name
Net weight refers to the total weight of the net contents inside the jar (not including the jar weight) so net weight is the combined weight of the wax and FO
I wanna have a business like yours for my college. :)
Hi, first thing first your videos are really helpful. Thank you.
I have a question regarding eco 1. Could I use 2 Eco 2 in the same tin?
Hi Erica, I'm about to start my own candle business with my girlfriend and you've been a great help to us in clearing up some doubts. However, there is a doubt to which we are not clearly clarified. What is the importance of measuring the temperature of the wax?
Hope you can help us.
Thanks and keep the good work.
great video Erica! I’ve learned so much about candle making & the science behind it thru your videos. quick question, at what temp do you pour your fragrance oil? i’ve watched some vids where ppl use “the lower the better” method.. but im trying to figure out which is more effective? i’m using natural soy wax
185ish! It needs to be hot so that it can bind with the oil ❤️
I should’ve watched this video before I just made my candle 🤦🏾♀️ thanks for the explanation
No worries! Keep experimenting! My way is not the only way ❤️
@@MemoryBoxCandleCo thank you
Hi Ericka! This is a great video, thank you for your thorough explanation. :) Question: the wick that you cut, do you reuse it for other tin jars? Like add the metal holder to the cut wick and use it so you're not just throwing that away? I'm debating getting super long wicks and doing that with the excess I cut off.
You can same them and use them for wickless testing too! ❤️
Nice 🙂🙂
Thank you so much for making these videos! They help me so much!! I have one question, they sell fragrance oil in ml in my country, so how do I know how much i need to buy because I’m not sure how much gram 1 ml is. :)
Quick question, TW 30 is currently out of stock, is there another tart wax I can use instead? Awesome videos btw, so very helpful and you're doing such a GREAT job! Thank You!! :)
Thank you miss mam beautiful. 🥰
Where do you get your tins from?
Thank you for all your amazing knowledge :)
Hi Erica! For the wicks you said Eco 1 6" from candle science but they only have Eco 1 3" or Eco 2 6" Did you mean you got the wicks from cal candle supply or are you using Eco 2 6" from candle science? Thank you for your help always!
Hi, question. Do I need to wait for the wax to cool down before pouring the fragrance oil? Because here in the phippines, (based on the tutorial that I watched) They melt the wax at 180 F, Pour the Fragrance oil at 140 F then pour it to the vessel at 100 F. I hope you can reply :) Thank yoi!
Hi Erica, Do you have to melt the waxes in two different pots or can you melt them together? Thanks
Hi Erica, may I know,when the right time to mix the FO into the wax? Thanks before.
May i ask how your candles look after the 1st burn? I also do a mix and everything is smooth and nice. But after the burn it looks so bumpy.
What’s size labels do you use for the 8oz tins?
Thank you for sharing! Love your candles (I’ve bought a couple)! Question: is there a reason why you use two separate scales instead using one for both wax and FO?
I am not sure why Erica does it, but I use a smaller gram scale for my fo be sue I feel like with measuring such a small amount, it is more accurate 🙂
I feel that the smaller scale is more accurate (even though the larger scale can measure in 1.0 grams, I just feel like it’s not as quick to show me the weight) ❤️
I love all of your videos. You are one of the few ladies that inspired me to join the candle making business. I wanted to know how long is the cure time. I remember one of the video your cure time isn’t as long as the other ladies due to your blend? I don’t want to wait 2 weeks for it to cure. I love candles.
How long should I wait to let settle down the candle ?
Thank you for sharing
My comment has nothing to do with candle making. Your face is such a breath of fresh air. PS I am a straight female.
Wow how sweet is this comment! Thank you so much! ❤️
Can you please post the link for the wick holders?
Do you use different wicks for different scents for that specific tin?
Hi Erica, I use the same type of tins and I find that FO which has vanillin will lead to wax discolouration. How do you mitigate this problem?
Would appreciate your feedback here.
Omg ! I just started making candles and soon will become a business and your videos are sooo freaking helpful , I have been watching them daily . I do have a question what temperature did you pour your oil into the wax ? How did you know you didnt go pass the flashpoint ?
Thank you in advance !
Yayy I’m so glad!! And I pour in my FO around 180-190 no matter what oil I’m using! Flash points don’t have anything to do about when you need to add the FO to your wax :)
Check out my video on flash points!
czcams.com/video/1L_f79W_88k/video.html
@@MemoryBoxCandleCo I just watched it and i feel like i just had a huge realization because thats what i been doing wrong , paying attention to the flashpoints so crazy !! THANK YOU SO MUCH , i dont want to ask for too much but i feel like it will really help if you would do a video on Hot Throw if you can .
Thanks for being amazing !
Hi Erica! I love your channel and what are doing for beginner candle makers like me. It's been great learning from you..please keep doing what you are doing🥰 Question, do you always blend the tart wax with soy waxes? and if not when should it be done?
Thank you so much for watching :)
And this is a very hard question. I know that not all tart waxes are able to be blended with container wax and used in candles. I would refer to the supplier of your tart wax to see if it can be used in candles.
Every single thing I’ve ever done has just been from experimenting and trying things out. You NEVER know unless you try! That’s always my advice- if you are wondering if something will “work” try it! That’s the only way to know ❤️
@@MemoryBoxCandleCo Okay. I'll try it and see. Thanks for replying!
for making soya wax container candle do i need to add any additive ?
LOVE LOVE LOVE your videos! Can we use Soy10 on its own for the tin candles? Also, any thoughts on nature wax C-3?
Thank you!! And I blend my soy 10 with a harder wax, I’m even adding in a little bit of beeswax!
And not sure, I’ve never tried it ☺️
Hi there. I am using C3 and loving it so far.
Hi do you mind telling me what wicks you use for your black jars ??
I love your videos! I have a question though. You have pretty basic wax shapes so I'm guessing creating a mold for them isn't a huge deal. What if I want to make really weird shapes like bodies etc, that are NOT on the market tho (so I can't buy a mold model from shein for example), how can I create my own mold model? Do I 3d print it? Or...? Thank you in advance.
Is it more beneficial to use grams over ounces?
I'm not really having much luck with my smaller jars or my small tins, I seem to have a nice burn however I'm not getting any hot throw at 8% FO. I'm using Parasoy wax with a SV400 wick (I know this isn't going to mean anything to you Erica lol, I don't think they are sold in the US). Maybe I'll try going up a bit with my FO level, if that doesn't work then maybe I'll try some 464 or C3 and see that helps, all I know is it's very frustrating after I've just cracked my 30CL jars and got them smelling nice, I was hoping I could just transfer the formula and change the wick but despite getting a nice flame, that's all I'm getting.
Genuinely curious, and I'm not trying to be an extremist but being super new to candle making and researching waxes I've found that soy wax products are not GMO-FREE. Is this true? If so, are these candles still safe to burn since we are inhaling the burn off? I'm genuinely asking bc I'm sure I'll have clients who ask me this as well and would like to be prepared. Thank you!
Erica, you are amazing. Your videos are inspiring. I’m running into a problem with rough top after burning. I’m using soy wax. We’re using the same wax. Soy. How do you combat this?
Thank you! ❤️
&You’re experiencing rough tops after burning using soy 10 wax?
Memory Box Candle Co
My mistake it’s 464 wax from CandleScience. CalCandle is always sold out. 464 gives me rough tops after burning. Do you have another recommendation for wax from either company?
what wax formula are you currently using? how much bees wax do you u add? TIA
What wick size do you use ? I just made 8oz tin as well and I'm used cd10
Do also add beeswax to your blend?
Hi, i want to ask, fill weight / net weight is a liquid wax in a jar?
Is this the formula you use also for the bigger candles as well?!? I missed out on the soy 10 restock :/
Is possible to use one wick in this container with out using 2 wicks ? I tried 1 wick but I don’t get a full melt pool I feel like 2 wicks is too much for this container 😯
Can you tell us how you optimized for your custom soy wax blend? I'm using C6 and want to add in more coconut oil (maybe add in coco-bright) but I'm not sure how much I would start? Do I start with a 50/50, or 70/30?
I usually start with a 50/50 blend and just adjust from there! Usually it’s the easiest way to start :)
Hey I'm interested in making candles but would like to start off with the tin jars any advice?
Enjoyed this what temp do you heat your. Tart wax to and at what temp do you add in the fo and pour
Thx
Tart wax is heated to 185-190
I add FO ASAP so around 180-185
I try to pour hot but usually it’s around 170-175ish ❤️
Hi! Quick question, can i use a kitchen scale as a shipping scale too?
Yes! However sometimes shipping scales can only go up to 10-11 pounds, whereas shipping scales can go up to 50+ pounds depending on the scale. So it just depends on how much weight your kitchen scale can hold :)
At what temperature do you pour the wax?
Thank you for this great video! Where do you purchase the Soy 10 Wax and do you find it has a better HT than Soy 464?
I've tried both and soy 10 had a much better hot throw for me. Also a much prettier, less cratering wax.
eco 1?......two eco 4's barely got to a full melt pool after 2h for me, using same tin, i am so confused!
Any issues with rusting? Ive seen some people say with some oils you get rusting.
I live in Indiana and shipping soy#10 and tw30 is expensive to ship...are there other names for these waxes?
Where are you getting the fill weight (170g) from?
