I'm looking for the video where you said about adding a small percentage of container wax to make the melts harder. At least, I think it was on your channel! What weight would you recommend?

@jensnow3363 I'm not sure if it was my video 🤔 Container wax is softer than melt wax so if you use container wax for wax melts and its a little too soft try adding some melt wax. It's trial and error to get it to how you like it 😊

How did the wax react to curing and having a high concentration of dye in it? They look so pretty, but i am worried about not curing properly and messing with the fragrance load. I really like the finished look!

By chance is the candle oil soapy with mixed with water? I purchased oils to use for my air freshener and I had a spill directly on my hands, when I washed it off, there was almost a "lather". There was a little soap like nature. Is this normal?

How do you put the wick in those little MM candles? I thought the wick was supposed to go in first and then they would be in the candle when you pop them out of the mold. I have cactus candle molds. I put the wick in with a little wax or a wick holder and then pour the colored wax into the mold. Does this sound right? I have a small 4 cups pouring cup and wax melter that is electric.
@freckleface1
@freckleface1 Жыл бұрын
These are wax melts and are used in a wax melter. They don't require wicks. Wax melts are placed in the top of a wax warmer/melter and a tea light candle is lit underneath which melts the MM wax melt to release the fragrance. I hope this helps 😊

@@freckleface1 I am new to this. I made candles in school back in the 1960's. But they were made of tallow. There was no such thing in the US as soy wax. It was tallow or beeswax. I am making burnable candles. I have a cloud mold and cactus molds. Also green and blue coloring. When you melt the wax after it is melted is that when you add the color?

Yes, it's the basically the same as in this video depending on what dye you use. You add the candle dye once you have melted your wax and stir it in. You should be able to find temperature recommendations on when to add it on the instructions or from where you purchased it 😊

Hello Donna. Just started making wax melts after making soap and body products for two-three years. Love the video. Why do you transfer to a second jug is it simply for ease of pouring? I sense a Devonshire accent hubby’s from asthma Devon and I lived there on two lengthy occasions. Tasmania reminds me of Devon and Cornwall wrapped together. How disappointing that you made so many not to like so many.

It sounds like frosting. It is a natural effect you get from vegetable wax, especially soy wax. It won't affect the candle when you burn it. Keeping a steady warm temperature of the room whilst setting and curing your candles may help. It's lovely to have coloured candles, but keeping them the natural colour of the wax helps disguise frosting if you keep finding it a problem and dont like the look of it. I hope this helps 😊
