I’m in late 70. Never have I owned a pillar candle that did not tunnel. I don’t make candles and don’t often buy any more because it’s a waste of money: big fat candle with a hole that eventually extinguishes because the wick is drowned by wax. I can’t even imagine a pillar that burns evenly across. I figure they cannot.

Thank you for this information, and for also making it easy to understand!

Informative vid very interesting, but I know it is time for bed when I find myself watching a vid about how to burn a candle, good night.

You have a lot of nerves to make a video to specifically discourage people from doing what they like which is candle making…guess what you’re not going to STOP ME 😤😤😤😡😡😡👎👎👎👎

What causes sinkhole? How to fix it and prevent it ?

Thanks for the earrape in the end.....

Hey there! I absolutely love your videos! It has been a while you posted. Are you doing OK? :)

are you gonna tell us how we can determine it? or just do many test

loved your video , it was very informative & helpful.

So, everyone teaching candle making on KZbin teaches the same, tried and true, candle making method…period. There is no formula, no right way, no teachable skill. All candle making is, learn the skill on your own, trial and error test, test, testing, until you like your result. Buy the tools and materials, FAFO, fool around and find out. SHEESH. Your advice is to make and give away a minimum of 84 test candle combinations, learning the basic foundation of the craft. Then go to business school. Then develop a supply chain, storage, work area, tools, personnel, pay, benefits and insurance. Then continue perfecting the craft as candles are competitively made and sold, testing with R&D every different nuance of multiple tools, waxes, wicks, containers, colors, fragrances, fragrance load, smell area, shapes, sizes, amount of light, burn time, temperatures, comparing every possible combination, until you find what you like…heh, heh, heh…thank you…from an old veteran, retired in the US, foothills of the east Tennessee Smokies.

Hello, dear professor, what was the second liquid inside the glass? 

Every time I watch this guy, I get discouraged lol.

Genius❤

Can you update? Things have changed a whole lot in 4 years.

Hi, are your courses still running?

Hello, where do you purchase the oils from?

Video 4 Years old ... not that it matters but kind of klickbait with 2024 in it ...

3:36 ,What if my wax doesn't like my taste in music?. Will this result in poorer quality wax melts?

Hey, I need some information here . I'm using soy wax 444 in a 2.5 jar about 7 oz of wax with dye. What size lx wick would you recommend? Ik using LX 14 and it's reaching a full melt pool in about 1.5 hours with lots of mushrooms 🍄 and flame getting small. I'm getting scent through but I'm not please with the mushroom built up and the flame 🔥 get lower.

Not me buying 4 ounce tins for testing fragrance when I plan to use 8 ounce glass or stone jars 😭

I have question about aak y50 wax . In my country every one says that it shouldn't be hit up above 60-70°c because it will be overheating 🤷‍♀️ and im really confused how to work with it 🥴

You go armatage!❤

I tried to add fragrance oils to my candles but a lot of them are too strong while I’m making candles but still not smell so good after candle is complitly frozen and I love essential oils but I don’t feel the smell at all after adding them to the candles :( I tried to add really big amount and still no good resales the smell is barely recognisable :( will be very greatfull for any suggestions or recommendations 🙏 btw I use natural soy wax and rapeseed wax

I just made 20 6464 soy candles and 8 ounce jelly jars from Lonestar candle company. They gave me an echo eight wick and the wig burned out soon as it hit the wax. I’m not even gonna try to mess with this. I’m switching to paraffin and larger wig perhapsI’ve learned more from you than I have watching 30 hours a candle videos.

Yo Candle 🕯️ Making Cat! Let's have a look at some masterpieces You've Created.... ! ( Maybe one or two burning in the background as You Teach... LoL

All chemical and man made fragrances are carcenogenic. Don't use them. We can look that up easily. Why support the big chemical companies like dow, dupont , and many others that are causing us to become sick. Most people are used to overpowering scents and don't even think natural smells are desirable.Furthermore, It causes excitability in the brain and can cause a host of problems after being exposed to the "wonderful scent". Do more research and save yourself some heartache, and maybe the health of you or your loved ones. If it's man-made... don't eat it, put it on your skin, breath it, you'll be glad in the long run.

I'm having this issue with beeswax too

Amazing tutorial !!!

there's a candle co I like called Tatine and they use 'perfume oils' apparently and I'm curious if that's fragrance oils or actual perfume compounds like from perfume manufacturers

Hi Kevin, the scented shot glass candles I make have a constant flame when I do a flame test on them. What can I do to get a steady flame?

I love seeing a whiteboard in the background, thats how I organize too.

makes a video how to make the "perfect" wax melts, but says nothing about what wax, or where to get it lol

When aubergine advises you but to do what they do ask yourself why they might be dating this? COMPETITION 🎉

Can anyone point out any problems with making candles that would be a fire Hazzard. I mean are there obvious mistakes that would make a candle prone to causing a fire, Anybody out there, Thanks

What about the best temperature to add pure essential oil? I keep trying but can’t get the smell strong enough. Today’s batch smells good but it’s hardening with craters so maybe I used too much oil ?

the specific gravity of water is not 1.00?

Playing around with candle making as a hobby and found this channel. Love this guys passion and knowledge...he strikes me as having command of his subject and loves his job....good stuff.

Thank you for this information! I'm just starting to experiment with oils, at 11:10 of the video you talk about low quality fragrance oil and show a pic of Candlescience, where I've been getting my oils (haven't made candles yet, still trying to find the right fragrance). Are you indicating that Candlescience is a low quality oil? I'm willing to spend more money for a better quality oil.

It’s so hard to know a quality company to buy fragrance oils from. Can anyone suggest a high end candle fragrance oil company for a DIY chandler starting on my candle journey?

Can you recommend a good source for fragrance oils? I just got a shipment from Candle Science…YUCK!!! What a waste

How long do I need to go to college to learn how to make a candle?

I have boxes and boxes of Aveda candles from 1995. Are they fine?

What was that thing called you used to help you put the wick in the jar?

I fail my candles if the container reaches 140 degrees. I thought that was standard.

That was wicked.

I’m having some issues hoping for help. I use cd wicks. I am more than half way down. I have a tool to perfectly center my wicks but they bend. My candles have amazing hot throw but even at the bottom of my candle the side of the wick that the bend faces away from it doesn’t reach a full melt pool but the side the wick leans towards gets too hot. I don’t know how to fix this issue. I measured the temp at 179 degrees. Also I am struggling with where I should be measuring my temp. I always measure the rim at the top of the candle jar. The sides don’t really over 145 the top is where the heat it on my jars

List? I don’t see a list

This is helpful ❤

so this explains why i cant buy a candle with a large flame and making lots of smoke for my sconces in my dungeon...

I would like to start candle making. What type of wax shud I use. I checked the online stores. There's so many different types of wax. I have no idea what to get as a beginner
