20 Pro Tips For Making Wax Melts - Wax Melt Hacks!

[@melindaduncan3073]

At the end of the video my granddaughter was waving bye-bye and saying bye-bye bye-bye it was so cute! She’s only 13 months old but she likes watching your videos and she loves the soap because she thinks it’s Yum Yum‘s and your voice. It’s lovely for me because I watch your videos! Even the older ones, I go back and watch your videos.

[@tinasesco1978]

I love love watching all your wax melt videos please share more. You have taught me so very much

[@sonicamy4518]

There is some awesome tips in here! One I had never thought of was running your heat gun over your empty molds to get the frosting out of them. I had always used alcohol. With alcohol in short supply right now, this totally makes sense. It saves you some money too! Thank you for the helpful tips!

[@TheLisaGate]

I use hand sanitizer to get the wax out. I live close to the Purell headquarters so we have a whole bunch in the stores around here.

[@cbpapp]

Thank you so much for posting THE BEST WAX MELT VIDEO EVER!! I’m serious! I’ve watched so many that do NOT even mention the pouring temperature of the wax!! As chandlers, TEMPERATURES ARE EVERYTHING!! I just wanted to say THANK YOU for providing ALL the information I need to make wax melts. I managed, before watching your video, to successfully pour wax melts with color, FO and mica. I poured a little hotter, because I had no temperature to go by, at around 160. I’m going to use your directions now! Thank you again and much love to a fellow chandler! 💞😊

[@Jemma-141]

I've not long started up my wax melt business, I have to say your videos have helped me a lot to figure out where I've been going wrong

[@zohrashameel7623]

@Ellie Donegan hey Ellie!! Even I'm trying out wax melt.. just trying one fragrance now...

[@sheartalent8919]

I have a heat gun that I used for rubber stamping back in the day. I gave it to my husband because I don’t stamp anymore. Well, sorry baby cakes, the heat gun is comin’ back to mama because I’m going full throttle making these wax melts! I found the silicone molds like she uses on Amazon, so Monday I will have a full-on wax melt factory at my house!!!!!! I LOVE your videos and your voice is so soothing!! Thanks for sharing your talent with us!!!!

[@kathrynwilcock178]

I made some wax melts today...and they frosted! 😞. Then I came across your video on the subject, and it’s answered all my questions. Thanks Karen, I appreciate your videos...keep them coming x

This was great, thanks, I've been looking for "how many ounces of wax are in a votive?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Panlijah Inconceivable Position - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? It is a smashing one off product for discovering how to become a candle making master and turn a profit minus the hard work. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my co-worker got great results with it.

I can’t express how much I appreciate you and your videos. I learn so much. I would have never thought of using the heat gun to get the wax off the side of the jugs! This is genius! I would imagine it works the same when you’re pouring lotion bars or salves?

Oh I love glitter and I can see it !!! I was in some doubt that it was not going to show through but the glitter just is beautiful. I'm going to try adding glitter. Thank for the vitio

[@carpentersization]

I use one of those electric turkey roasters as my wax melter. It holds like 30 pounds of wax and then I can just turn on the wax when making candles and turn off till my next session. I scoop out my wax to my pyrex colour and fragrance. When I am done just unplug til next go. They are like 29-39 cdn here. It tucks a way nice too if u want.

[@EdensSecret1]

Great idea Sandra

[@wendysweesuds5936]

You can heat wax then cool it down then reheat a few days later?

the molds have a white film on them from previous wax melts..before using use heat gun on them lightly..will restore them back to original color and no frost will show up on wax melts..

[@BuckinghamLodge]

Great video for a total beginner like me. Can I ask though how to avoid some wax breaking off and sticking to the mould when getting the melts out? Thank you

[@blairlaird2046]

[@mariaocampo7240]

Love these tips because I'm using the same molds. I found that for my wax, the max T I can have when pouring is 55 Celsius, above that it's a nightmare when it comes to unmolding, a real struggle! Putting them in the fridge (I don't have a freezer) also helps indeed. Have you considered getting one of those small heart molds for the extra wax? That could make a lovely sample (and numerous!)

[@annseely1378]

Your wax melts are so fragrant that my 7 x 11 office was scented just by unwrapping a sample wax melt I received in my order. It promoted me to order nearly a $90 set. I did get maybe 27 was melts. Each are so good! Even the ones I thought smelled not to my liking, when melted have become my favorite. And, I've discovered that all of them can mix well. I will use three cubes of different scents to make an aroma that lasts weeks!

Good morning Karen, I love your videos. You have so many great tips!

[@stefaniamorelli9919]

I brought a wax melter pot and it was the best thing I ever done. I love making wax melts. I have yet to try the wax colors, I have been using liquid or mica , but I have noticed that I have to use more to get the right color. Do you think I should try to use the wax one ? God bless you.

[@pambooth812]

In use metal jugs they retain heat longer to give you more time to pour (heat it with a heat gun) also heat my moulds so no uneven edges .. Never any frosting

[@michaelodwyer5305]

I have a very large block of wax that I have had for years which is a kind of red in colour. When I say large it is around ten pounds in weight. I was wondering if I could use this to make wax melts. I have no idea what type of wax it is, I cannot even remember where I first got it from as I have had it for so many years and not done anything with it. All I can say is it is one large block of wax.

[@Paula202]

hey there, this was really interesting, thank you :) I was mesmerised by the glitter! Could a hairdryer be used instead of the heat gun?

[@stephanieallen6406]

Maybe on low with high temp otherwise the wax will blow out of the cup

[@dolphinman9896]

It can be. It works but it's slower. A heatgun will definitely be better if you can get it :)

[@gwendaryan8796]

If u are using silicone moulds give them a warm up with the heat gun or pop in microwave for 30 secs to a minute

Thanks for the tips I've been making these for years i would say though with you using a heat gun on it once its done to get it nice is a good idea but would it cause the smell to reduce? Because its been heated the more you heat it the less the smell so was wondering about this as I'm not sure with the heat gun buying one

Hi !may I ask can we make another fragrance in the same mold after we clean up the last one? Or will smells mix?

[@beachlifesoy2253]

What's the point of it looking so nice when mixing and pouring when you put in warming bowl to melt a cube and the mica sinks to the bottom of the bowl leaving a clear liquid layer on top? How do I stop that from happening? tia :)

[@ohsoscenty6242]

Another tip would be to use your heat gun on the mould prior to pouring, as in a minute or so before. It helps the wax to not stick. Also using this wax, if you blend it with another wax that will also help to reduce the sticking and the cure time. This wax needs 2 weeks cure time 💓💓💓

[@marikiemarie7622]

No it don't. Package them up right away and by the time you sell it and the customer uses it...it's cured enough
