Helping Other Candle Makers | Subscriber Candle Review: Scents to Remember (Ep 20)

[@MakeupMobster]

After watching about ten of these I realized that I forgot to say how much I really enjoy these and what a cool idea it is! You learn a lot.

[@BlackTieBarn]

Thanks so much

[@CarolinaKrush7]

Great video🔥

[@BlackTieBarn]

Thanks man

[@74Rockme]

God I wish you were doing this years ago when I made candles. I used to stress about my test burns and was probably overthinking. I just got back into making candles and I really enjoy these videos, they are so helpful. I just made my first test batch after atleast 6 yrs of not doing it so I can't get enough of these...I have been binge watching😅.

[@dawncrime3121]

Idk why I randomly got recommended a candle review. But definitely subscribing I love people reviewing something their so knowledgeable about. It's so insightful.

[@BlackTieBarn]

Haha. I'm not sure either. But glad you did! Lol

This was super helpful seeing the candle burn!!!! Love the sparkles

[@mistakleen1911]

Wade you are the man bro...We need to know where to ship our line for review. Mya great job the aesthetics were dope.

[@BlackTieBarn]

Definitely should. It will need to be a bit tough, I'm playing massive catch up right now. Lol. And thank you!

[@komposxoini]

Thanks for this video. This kind of video is fattened by the channels and is very useful. Please continue. Good luck.

[@BlackTieBarn]

Ty!

[@ashtonteter1998]

I just started making candles and have been doing a lot of research to try and make the best candle I can. I came across your videos and you’ve been so helpful! Also I see some of your Chiefs stuff in videos so you must be from the KC area like me. I’m still testing to find the best wax blends and wick sizes to fit my jars but I’d love to send you some candles in the future for your feedback!

[@BlackTieBarn]

Absolutely! Just reach out later... and yep. KC!

[@Jenny-G777]

I learned so much from this, please do more, instead of just plain perfection, we are getting to see others styles, shapes and sizes.

[@BlackTieBarn]

❤👍

There is a popular boutique in Florida called "A scent to remember". It sells handmade bath products and candles. It's very very popular, so when you Google "scents to remember" the Florida boutique comes up. I would be a little a little worried about the name because of the algorithm when you go to search it.

[@BlackTieBarn]

Good point

[@mycreativestudiosudsflicke6581]

Please make more review candles thank you

[@BlackTieBarn]

Definitely will be. I am backed up on about 12 of them right now. Also, check out the review playliat here on the channel. There are many more already there. :)

[@mycreativestudiosudsflicke6581]

@@BlackTieBarn Thanks

[@AverageJoeandaMustang]

Have you done any videos on strictly wickless candles? Candle warmers?

[@BlackTieBarn]

I have not. But you can basically add a bit more fo if you want and just not insert a wick. I also think firmer waxes work a bit better with those

[@rachaelg.4804]

Mica is skin safe and non toxic 😀 it's ok on your finger!

[@BlackTieBarn]

Haha true. It was just making a mess. Lol

[@rachaelg.4804]

@@BlackTieBarn I use it in the wax itself on a few scents but it was very cool to see it used on top! I always thought it would clog the wick like it does when added to the melted wax (if using too much). I was wrong!

[@sabrinalee7946]

Is it recommended to add the scent description on the sticker label if the title doesn’t give the scents away?

[@BlackTieBarn]

Optional. It takes up a lot of room sometimes. I've done both

[@sabrinalee7946]

@@BlackTieBarn Thank you for replying to me! So let’s say to put it on the label, would you put every scent description that’s made in the specific scent or like up to three to highlight the main scent? I’m working on candle labels at the moment and would love some opinions on it!

[@BlackTieBarn]

@@sabrinalee7946 highlighting the main ones probably. but depending on your label size and layout, you could include them all if you want. I would jut play around with it. THere isn't a right or wrong answer

[@franciscoortiz2279]

I just came across your channel because of this video. How can I send a candle or two for you to review? I’ve been making candles since late summer 2021 and would like an opinion from an experienced candle maker!

[@charlenegarvin3036]

Hi my name is Charlene and I'm new to making candles I made my first candles Sunday March 20,202. I did my first test Tuesday March 22,2022 it did good but when blow it out it looks like cottage cheese

[@BlackTieBarn]

Yep. Sounds like using soy wax I assume? It happens. :/

[@tekaharold8599]

Hello been testing 6006 get some soot what wicks do you recommend for this wax

[@BlackTieBarn]

Some waxes just do it more than others especially in certain jars. A little soot is fine and normal. You won't prevent it all. But jar size matters a lot. What is diameter. You might try double wicking with smaller wicks

[@tekaharold8599]

@@BlackTieBarn hello the diameter is 3.5 and 5 inches they are from dollar tree

[@BlackTieBarn]

@@tekaharold8599 ah yes. VERY hard size to wick especially with viscous waxes like 6006. You will defintiely want to double wick that with two smaller wicks instead. Experiment with those and i think you will have better results

[@tekaharold8599]

@@BlackTieBarn thank you will try

[@mariadolores8597]

Have you already reviewed cbl 130 wax from candlewic? “Sorry for my bad English”🙈

[@BlackTieBarn]

I have not. Yet

[@lisaaguilera4268]

I’ve learned so much from you and would love to send you some of my work!

[@Draconamous]

So I had an idea the other day and want to ask here with knowledgeable people. Is there a wax I can dye and add into 6006 that won't melt during the hardening process but melt during a burn to add flakes of color but not dying the whole candle.

[@BlackTieBarn]

Never heard of such a thing myself, but I know what you mean. You can add tiny cubes of dyed wax using a different wax type (a harder one like a pillar wax) so it doesn't melt at the same rate. But it wont flake off. It will just slowly change the color probably. And it could affect wicking and you might end up with unsed wax at the bottom. lol

[@Draconamous]

@@BlackTieBarn Well I wasn't thinking about cubes. I was thinking more the coarse side of a cheese grater. That way it should minimally effect the burn while adding little colors along the way. I do have to test it, but it seems like a possibility.

[@fatebeauty146]

Great video! I'd love to send in some products to be reviewed! How can I reach you?

[@BlackTieBarn]

I'm super backed up right now on them. But you can email me at [e-mail] to set something up for a bit later

[@mikey3387]

I'd have you review mine. But honestly when compared to those candles, mine are generic

[@BlackTieBarn]

Generic isn't bad. These reviews aren't meant to sell to each other. Just to help one another. ;)

[@mikey3387]

@@BlackTieBarn they definitely have helped me

[@dons6570]

Large mushrooming = wick down?

[@BlackTieBarn]

Not always. Mushrooms can be caused by various things. But usually too big of wick, wrong wick type for wax, or too much FO

[@moircandlecompany]

Loveeee when you do these ❤️ great job Mya 💕 I learned a lot from you doing this review on mushrooming too🌸 excellent video..

[@rachelharrison]

HI Wade...Could you please let me know your thoughts on this. I have asked my suppliers and they can't really advise. What Max temperature is acceptable for the outside of the jar after a 4 hour burn for the average candle?

[@BlackTieBarn]

ASTM standards last I checked were around 175 F. But those are just guidelines. There is nothing set in stone or any legal policies regarding this that I am aware of. I hope that helps

[@rachelharrison]

@@BlackTieBarn Thanks so much Wade. Can I ask another quick question, wold you recommend a HTP or CDN for Coconut-soy wax?

[@BlackTieBarn]

@@rachelharrison The popular choice right now has been CDN. Ive had just as good of luck with HTP and Premier though to be honest. Not sure if one is better than the other.

[@rachelharrison]

@@BlackTieBarn Thanks for taking the time to answer!! I just hate the curl of HTP but the CDN's tend to mushroom!! I do use the CDN. Thanks again

[@lisaguzzardi]

Hi Rachel, since my hands are immuned from feeling heat due to manual art projects, I am always concerned about container temperature. Atleast for getting an accurate reading I found that laser thermometer didn't seem accurate against glass. I got those stickers that the restaurants use to measure dishwasher temperature. Just a thought.

[@lonittanelson7593]
