It makes me so happy to share my journey with all my viewers, take a second and also check my other channel healthy Living with Michael, the link is on the description box. It was my first channel way before this one. Thanks for your support.
I just found your channel and I love it. Your energy is contagious. Thank you for sharing your experiences with candle making. I feel excited about making candles again 🙏🏼
Thank you for sharing Michael , love your videos they are very informative I loved your fragrance creation, I think I could smell them from here and hope the HT was as fabulous 👋🏻👏😎
I'm so happy you liked my videos. I put a lot of effort and love in each one of them. My favorite part of the process is the fragrance selection. Every time I smell the beautiful fragrances, they take me to a happy place. Creating a unique scent is my dream come true! Thanks for your support!
Omg que lindo!!! You made me excited for the fragrance. I've never used wooden wick fragrance and now I will try them because you gave me goose bumps too!!! 💕 I love your candle making set up! Very organized todo en su sitio!
I agree. That’s how I judge how good a fragrance is or a fragrance combination by how many times he says oh my God and bends over at the waist and the excitement being off the charts. I l e it!💜
i use a combo of the 2...when i melt my wax it's usually at 185 when it's fully melted and i add FO at 150...and perfect every time. when it's cloudy it'll give the best tops
@@CandleRomance i love the energy you bring! you enjoy what you do. i see you also do hair. us creative types always know how to do a bit of everything ;-)
@mslarlo Hi, do you get good hot throw ? Also what way type do you use ? At what temperature do you pour your wax in your vessel ? Thank you, Have a nice day 😊
the cold and hot throw for both were basically the same. I'm not happy working with 464 soy wax. I'm going to focus into finding another kind of wax to keep testing. I'm really enjoying IGI6006 much better results and way more CT and HT than 464.
Question. After u poured them and letting the cure. Was it just on a wire rack and a towel underneath it or was there something under the towel as well other than the stand?
Those are drinking glasses I found at Ikea, they also have them at the dollar store. You can use any kind of drinking glass as long as the glass is thick and can withstand heat.
It’s a really easy calculation... Decide what percentage of fragrance load you are using- waxes are all different as to the max load then multiply that by your wax weight. Ex: 16 (oz) x 6%= .96 This would be your amount of fragrance. I would just put in an oz. I just do it on my phone calculator.
Hi Maro, I'm not familiar with eco wax, I believe there's waxes specifically made for tarts, some people use a wax called Pillar of Bliss, because it's harder wax.
Hello. I made candles from palm wax and to 500 g of melted wax I added 25 g of perfume but it smells very strong. How much perfume should I add to not have such a strong smell? Thank you very much!
It all depends on how much fragrance oil load your wax can hold, I usually do 10% FO, I use PB600 (A paraffin/soy blend) that's what the manufacturer of my wax recommends. If I want less stronger scent, then I need to test adding less, and see how the hot throw is, and keep testing accordingly until you get the scent throw you feel comfortable.
Wooden Wick fragrances are so amazing. They are pricey but well worth it if you plan to make luxury candles. My other scents just don't compare from other companies. These smell "real" if that makes sense.
I agree with you. I need to get the wax/wick/container game together then concentrate on the fragrance mix. I can't afford to start experimenting with WW yet. Thanks for your support.
How was the ST between the two candles? Do you have a video showing that? If so, please tag me in it. I love your channel and energy by the way. Signed: Candle Addict #Yasssss ❤️

Thank you for the tip! I'll be trying that too.
@@CandleRomance i love the energy you bring! you enjoy what you do. i see you also do hair. us creative types always know how to do a bit of everything ;-)
@@mslarlo thanks, yes I do hair too but I get more satisfaction with making candles and CZcams videos.

Thank you for your support
You’re awesome 💕 lluvia de bendiciones 🙏
What was the cold and hot throw of each. I loved your idea of the griddle and will start using that for containers...great idea
the cold and hot throw for both were basically the same. I'm not happy working with 464 soy wax. I'm going to focus into finding another kind of wax to keep testing. I'm really enjoying IGI6006 much better results and way more CT and HT than 464.
Epic work
Thank you!
You are the cutest ❤️
Question. After u poured them and letting the cure. Was it just on a wire rack and a towel underneath it or was there something under the towel as well other than the stand?
Just a plain towel to keep the surface clean
I need to try the wooden wick fragrances now.
They are amazing! 👍🏻
Where did you get these vessels from Michael?....first time hearing about the Alex method.....
Those are drinking glasses I found at Ikea, they also have them at the dollar store. You can use any kind of drinking glass as long as the glass is thick and can withstand heat.
Lovely video! Can you tell us how you calculated your wax? Using what website or formula? Thank you!
I use an app for my iPhone called Wax Calculator. I don't know if it comes in Android.
It’s a really easy calculation...
Decide what percentage of fragrance load you are using- waxes are all different as to the max load then multiply that by your wax weight.
Ex: 16 (oz) x 6%= .96 This would be your amount of fragrance. I would just put in an oz. I just do it on my phone calculator.
@@dannilikesreviews thank you very much I will give this a go
Hello love your method please can you let me know what wick and sizes
I believe I used HTP 105 wicks.
Can I use eco wax cab advanced for wax melt and candles ?
Hi Maro, I'm not familiar with eco wax, I believe there's waxes specifically made for tarts, some people use a wax called Pillar of Bliss, because it's harder wax.
Where do you get your fragrance. Im in UK.
Hi Tracey, I get my fragrance oils from different candle supplies in USA, most of them are from candlescience.com, naturesgarden.com, and many more.
Hello. I made candles from palm wax and to 500 g of melted wax I added 25 g of perfume but it smells very strong. How much perfume should I add to not have such a strong smell? Thank you very much!

@@CandleRomance thank you!
Beautiful. Thanks! How was the hot throw performance ad far as scent with the Alex method?
It was good for both methods, I didn't find it affected the hot throw. Thanks for your support.

No I didn't run an ST test, the main concern was the look of the candle itself not the scent throw.
May I please ask what your little pour pitchers are called? I'd like to order some if I can find them. Hugs!
