You’ve been my favorite candle teacher ever since your video telling us to start out by making 80 candles then give them away to friends. That taught us you were more interested in the craft and teaching us how to make them safely and well. That has to come before the sales. I think about that a lot.
Thank you! I wish you successful !
You're freaking awesome for giving this away for free! Your principles could be applied to business in general, not just candles....and you delivered your teachings in a bite sized, comprehensive way with such care and access to resources. THANK YOU!
I love love you videos and your blog. You are one of the few i trust with candle knowledge. Please keep tesching us.
I’m committed! Thanks for tuning in. Spread the word!
Yessss....besides YOU, there's only 2 other chandlers on CZcams that I trust 100% & they are Wade Thomas and Jeff Standley! I have learned so much from all 3 of you 😊
There's too many people on here giving a lot of crazy misinformation. I really appreciate the fact that you are so selfless that you share with the rest of us your hard earned knowledge 🥰 THANK YOU for creating this channel!
Your philosophy is great., love your speech., probably more than the candle making thing. Lol keep it up., I might join the courses about candles. Thanks
I have been following you since the beginning of my candle making journey. I remember watching and reading about the 84 candles early on and thinking there’s no way I will need that many. Over a 100 some later, and many months later I finally feel comfortable launching in a few months. Thank you for all that you do, but most importantly stressing the SAFETY of candles, and what needs to be on the label. I wish you (and me!!) all the success in the candle world 🥰
I’m so glad you’re my kindred spirit! Take care and best of luck friend!
You are so humble and really pointing out the facts we mostly do.... Thank you... God bless you🙏
I really like you! You’re a great teacher. Very clear and concise. Great information. You are a gem
I learn something everyday about candle making. Thank you for you teaching!
I have to say this is one of the best videos I've watched. I literally have a candle graveyard in my back yard but I'm taking this slow and steady. Definitely giving myself a year to get my candles at their best... who knows it may be longer. I appreciate the advice!
Oh my gosh yes!!!! I beat myself up when I didn't get the candle making right the first time! I make handcrafted soap, body butters, and bath bombs and I made the mistake thinking ..."oh I can put a wick in a jar and pour melted wax!" 🤣🤣 Now I am testing 2 different wicks with only 4 base "fragrances" I will offer...one day! 10 days curing (beeswax) still seems soooo long but worth it! Really appreciate all your videos!!! Thank you!! ~jc
Omg!!! Thank you so much! This video is everything and it can be apply to any bussiness, thanks again ♡
Thank you for this. I love candles and always wondered if i could make my own. It took years of thinking and never performing so now I am older and have begun. So I figure, i will have something to do in my retirement, LOL I went into candle making not knowing and ave made many of the mistakes you mentioned, now i have patience, discipine and focus. I have learned a lot and ready for my phase 2. So wish me well, I'm going in.
Go for it! I believe in you!
In love with your videos ,thank you very much 🙏
You’re an inspiration. Only found your videos recently so professional
the thing about you kevin we can trust n count on you for knowledge
Thank you for this episode, Kevin. I totally agree, discipline is KEY!
For sure! I'm still learning that lesson every day.
Thanks so much for the videos! I’ve tried to make small businesses of my other hobbies in the past to no avail. I really need to make a success of this one (once I’ve started it) because my candle line will be in honor of my late baby sister. I want to tell her story through something she and I both loved: candles and self care. Because of this, I’m really trying to do my research so I can address my previous mistakes and even improve bad habits that end in untouched projects. This is hugely important to me so I’m extremely grateful for these videos and your insights! Hoping to start a beautiful new chapter of healing and sharing with this passion project!🙏🏾🥰
hey just wanna let you know that I really appreciate your channel in helping me building my candle journey starting from scratch! Usually I don't write comments on youtube but I want to acknowledge your hard work putting a video with such good quality content! Thank you so much! cheers
I'm so grateful for your kind words. Thanks for tuning in!
This is such a good video! Lots of useful information.
I'm almost there, just have to find the time to start. I must say your information on candle making is pretty good. I'm learning a lot.
thank you, i love all your videos, i like your organization type! :)
Thanks for this informative video
Superb advice. Thanks for your knowledge and expertise. Will take everything on board and hope to make a successful candle business.
Thank you Kevin
Your 84 candles video really inspired me to focus on the craft first ☺️
Thank you for sharing
Thank you Kevin! You are definitely a mentor of mine! This video made me realize I really DO need to sit down and think about a plan before I burn myself out!
I'm so glad!
You have always been my favorite candle teacher ever since I saw your video when you told us to make 80 candles and then give them all away. You taught us you were more interested in the craft and teaching us how to make candles safely and well and not just focus on the sales at the beginning. I’ve thought about that a lot
Thank you for all your help! I wish you much success
I’m so grateful for your kindness Kathleen and your support in every way!
Great teacher sir tnk u so much!
Great video! Lots of important information here that's not exclusive to candle making.
Hey. you have a wealth of knowledge in candle making and your tutorials are awesome.
Do you make beeswax sachets/tablets ?
I see a lot of tutorials out there that say one should use only essential oils for these.
and that soy wax has the best cold throw. What wax gives a good cold throw? And what fragrance load should I go for? Would really appreciate it if you would help me out with this. I am a candle maker in Mumbai.
Can you make a video about what you know about SEO?
Patience.... AHHHHHHHH...I an running out of that. The wicks are busting my bubble
I do Trust you 😄 my life depends on it!!!!!!
Man you’ve been crazy helpful for me. I can’t thank you enough!! I do have a question. WHERE do I find the large pouring pots you have in the background there. I can only find four pound pots. Can ya help me?
Yes I also want to know the supplier address
Thank you!
You’re welcome!
Would it be possible to lucet candle wicks ???
How/where do I sign up for your courses? I'm serious about candle making and learning the business :)

There have been times when my wax would go
to like 230 on accident in the presto pot. Does that ruin the wax?
If it sits up there too long it'll scorch. How long? Not really sure. But if you see any discoloration on your cooled wax... that would be my suspect.
@@ArmatageCandleCompany thank you for the help ! I haven’t seen a color change thankfully.
