I really love this guy . Hes not selfish to share his knowledge about candles . I love how detailed he explains. He also give a very objective advices that is good for all . Kudos!

[@BreadyBread111]

I honestly think I am in love with him and I just found him. 👁👁

[@aprilgates1474]

Well first of all, I appreciate anyone who shares info and doesn’t request money for their knowledge. Sharing is good. It also shows his character! 😉 My first video and so far he’s knocking it out of the park.

[@jakkudemoff3043]

Agree he answers all the questions we're all thinking and he's handsome at that

[@user-it8mj4nq3x]

Really great video! I've taken a couple of in-person candle making classes and started making candles about a month ago. Everytime I think "I got this", I come across another problem. I love Kevin's KISS (Keep it simple, stupid) advise. I generally don't keep ANYTHING in my life simple 😂but he is 100% correct about this. You really have to keep it simple, be patient, and stay focused. I'm determined to get this right and these videos are incredibly helpful. Thank you, Kevin!

So glad I watched this video I felt like giving up at the beginning, after he explained in more detail I have decided to do all my research. I like the way he explains things clearly so you understand. Will continue on my journey I am in no rush I want to do things properly so that eventually I am in a position to have my own business doing something I enjoy

I wish I would have found you sooner! I just started trying to learn but not going knowledge, about 3 weeks ago. The info out there is not the same, it's all very confusing. Great job on this. I subscribed and will be watching a ton of you videos. I'd love to start a small business but for now it's a hobby. I was getting extremely frustrated but I'm excited again!! Again thanks and you'll probably see me a lot in the comments🤣🤣🤣🕯

Gidday mate .I wished i came across you 12 months ago;Now i have to start all over again because i want to good at making candles not just average.Now i feel im on the right track too learn the right way.

[@treyweeeee]

I liked the video. I'm not trying to get into a business or sell anything. I really want to do two things. Make candles that I want/need, in whatever colour or scent I wish. Recycle wax (responsibly). So I really appreciate the scent knowledge. I'm still trying to figure out wicks but that'll be trial and error.

[@melissaburlbaw7906]

Great information, question do you sell the candle products?

[@lizpym5326]

Hi. Great video. What would your recommendation be for coconut wax, as a curing time? Thanks

[@mugdhaghatage7347]

Man I am soo soo thankyou for enlightening us with how to be cautious. I am planning to enter into this business. But I have too many questions before entering into this business. Like what type of wax we need what type of jars hold the wax about the wick, and even about the performance of the candles. The temperature they hold while making etc. I learnt more of it and my ideas are more clear now.❤️

[@tipakornsuwannasri5667]

Thank for the information, as I just started making scented candle, your channel is very helpful. Anyway I got some issue currently. Could you please help me with the poor glass adhesive problem, my whole candle was came out of the glass during the delivery so many time which I don’t know why as I use high temperature glue to stick the wick and it sticker perfectly before i pour the wax. The candle look fine and I already test put candle up side down before I send the candle.

[@Occido70]

Thank you for this. I started experimenting with candles since last year and I never thought I would enjoy it as much as I do. I'm fascinated with the science behind it. I've been stuck on what wicks to test and what containers I like. I found what waxes I enjoy (Coconut for container, soy hybrid for melts). Watching this I realize I've been stuck on only a couple wicks to use and have been measuring fragrance oil by fluid oz instead of weight! Such a "duh" moment when you mentioned that. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. I just found this one today. Subscribed.

[@draugh1r219]

Are you still in the business?

[@papasitoOC]

Me too! Lol

[@savonneatorain8569]

What would you reccommend for best wax and wicks? I'm just starting my business. Also how do I stop sinking candles?

[@moonchildlouna4470]

Hi! Can you give us some information about candle making insurance when starting a business. I’m on the east coast and I honestly don’t know where to go to obtain this.

[@aspynwalling667]

Do you believe it's better to start out with a double boiler system or a presto pot?

[@tonyagonzalez7164]

I've learned more from your channel than anywhere else. So thank you. I live in Houston and it is beyond humid. Which wax will work best in humidity?

[@ArmatageCandleCompany]

They’re all pretty equal! I’m glad to be of help!

[@ttisol]

Great video, as always. Thank you! BTW, I don't remember if you've covered this already but I'd love to hear your thoughts on the low temperature method for soy wax (especially 464) :)

[@ArmatageCandleCompany]

I never recommend it. It's just not a good way to reliably make safe candles. Not to mention that soy looks like bad oatmeal and requires more heat gunning.

[@Sujichan]

What about the plastic tealight containers that some candlemaking sites sell? They're made for tealights.

[@allakatayev8443]

Hi i would like to ask what can you recommend for carving candles? Thank you.

[@PaolaTourGuide]

Thank you. So is there. Andel colors that are natural.?

[@papasitoOC]

I’ve been told to add vibar etc to my wax for candles however it never melts down all the way with the waxes (in use various grades of paraffin depending upon the type of candle such as a pillar or Hurricane. In any case have you ever found it necessary to add vibar or also mottling to get a marbled look? I’m just curious if I’ve been wasting my money on those additives bc it sure feels like it. Thanks in advanced for any replies,tips, or suggestions.

[@Lahore_Mosaic]

[@saltlifegull4091]

WTH, if candle making is so dang scientific, how did all our ancestors make tons of them without all the equipment, etc? Think it's over my head, but this is some awesome, basic info to help:( Appreciate your video!!

[@kellywilson1891]

Thank you for all your helpful advice, much appreciated!! I have a question, when doing the test on your candle, if you have one that fails early in the test, say for the flame burning too high, can you re-melt that candle and change the wick and use that same wax it again?

[@jodyhawbaker521]

I would like yo know too! Great question!

[@metaz4711]

Question... Do you have any videos on making pure Bee's Wax candles?

[@cannabis1490]

[@ricardolandsman9465]

Hi id like to start making candles with bee wax. Also id like to make my own wicks. Ive made a couple of candles form melted candles but the burn is just no the way i want it. So Do you suggest bought wicks or made. ?

[@chongyikxuan3022]

Thank you Kevin! This video really help me❤️ Can I use pure essential oil instead of fragrance oil in my candle?

[@natb9919]

It's not recommended. Essential oils evaporate very quickly when heated so when you burn the candle the first time most of the essential oil will evaporate in that first burn and when you light the candle again you'll barely be able to smell it. Fragrance oils are made to use in candles so they're the best option.

[@simplyunique2696]

Could you include the 3 days of shipping as part of your cure time or does shipping affect the candle curing process?

[@ArmatageCandleCompany]

Do it. It doesn't affect curing enough to matter and sometimes you just have to get things out the door when time gets tight.

[@AfifandNelly]

Do the candle melt while postage delivery? If they do melt how to prevent?
