Hands-On Beginner Candle Making Tutorial For Testing New Scents (CandleScience)

[@Data_Rogue]

Just spent 500.00 plus on candle making equipment to start this business. I found your channel and love that you share your knowledge with the community. Thank you!

[@BlackTieBarn]

Thank you! And good luck!

[@rodrica4340]

I'm looking at purchasing some stuff as well. On the fence between hobby and making to sell. Do you mind me asking what equipment you went with to start off?

[@TrudyVanD]

@@rodrica4340 I started my candle business already. But so far I’m still using pitchers to pour my wax. Once it takes off then I will buy the bigger wax pots. My suggestion (not that you asked 😂) is to start small with pouring pitchers just to see if you like making candles. Much cheaper.

[@teannahairston5729]

@@Data_Rogue I am curious to see how it goes for you. I hope you will do an update.

[@lynnthomas8848]

Congratulations!

[@raymondgonzalez4878]

Sorry to laugh at your pain of smelling the chamomile tea. But I just could not stop laughing. The fact that you went in for more. Thank you for the instructions.

[@kembamelanie]

Your reaction to Chamomile Tea was my scent reaction out of bottle. I laughed so hard and knew that’s the scent you were referring to before you even named it!

Just started playing with a fragrance with dyes and ended up making the entire house smell of pumpkin spiced latte. It has been taking the past 2 days of opening windows and using the air filters to try to get the smell down to a tolerable amount! Now I know I can start at half the percentage and still get a great cold throw ROFL

[@Soylarimar]

LOVE the background and it doesn’t even sound like your warehouse which is a testament for how good your setup is. Also looks aesthetically pleasing even tho it looks like you can do real work there.

[@BlackTieBarn]

Thank you so much. Yah I tried to keep it sounded good as well. Glad it turned out well. Thank you!

I’ll be in the chat from now until till a real vlog is posted 😊

[@bridgettstephens5582]

Flash back to very early childhood when my older brothers' girlfriends would make candles. I vaguely recall they would buy wax at the local hardware store. After melting in a doubled pot they would pour the melted wax into a milk carton, holding the tip of the wick until the wax would hold the wick on it's own. Then the carton went into the fridge. Then pouring the hot wax into the milk carton and adding ice cubes before refrigeration became the in thing. Next big thing was to make candles look like ice cream sundaes but heck if I can remember how they made the wax look like whipped cream. Incredible how far candle making has come.

[@janiyahaynes9507]

Never been this early! I started my candle biz because of you! Thank you!

I love the new studio type set up for videos. It's clean and sharp and is homey, bur doesn't distract from what your doing. It gives a modern farm house vibe! Thanks for sharing the new fragrances for spring! I should have grabbed a couple of them. I'm in full looking fragrances for Wedding favors. My son's getting married June 3rd! I'm doing all the candles for the wedding, including the alter candles. I also am making all the gifts for the bridesmaids. They're all getting 8 piece skin care sets. So yes, I haven't had time to track down all the new spring fragrances! That's what's great about this channel. We get to see first impressions and we get to see you work with them too. Awesome!

Hello Wade. I like the new setup, great work. You had me in tears laughing as your facial expression and commentary were hilarious, "No, ma'am," you couldn't stop with saying it once...LOL You had emphasized it again with more convention, "NO MA'AM!" with a look.....LOL I really enjoy your videos, and you make them so entertaining and educational all in one. Whenever possible, could you do a brief tutorial on how you temperature check your glass jars? I'm struggling with how to truly test my clear glass jars to ensure I'm within the temperature guidelines. I'm been searching online to get an example of temperature testing, but I don't think I'm doing it correctly. I'm using an infrared thermometer to check my temperature. I really would appreciate it could do a brief tutorial on that. Thank you in advance for your support and guidance.

[@BlackTieBarn]

Ha ha thanks so much. And yes an Infrared Thermometer is a great way to test the outside of the glass . It measures surface temperature. Sounds like you're doing it right to me. ,:)

[@thegamingwitch]

I'm so glad I found your channel. I've been seriously thinking about doing candle making as a side gig and I wasn't sure on the details. But now I'm feeling more confident with making candles. I've made a few just as Christmas gifts and I used a small pouring pitcher thing [can't think of what it's called] it was a pain to clean out and I also risked water popping into the pitcher cause I put the pitcher in boiling water to melt the wax. So I'm definitely going to get the wax melter you recommended in another video

I love that you tested these new scents because I just purchased the coffee shop, white oak and vanilla and passionfruit over a week ago. I’m a beginner candle maker, just started testing my line 2 months ago. So I made the coffee shop as a blend with another fragrance and it made it smell even more like a special latte. And my passionfruit while it smells amazing, came out so bad texture wise (I’m testing soy GW 464 and may have stirred too quickly and poured too hot). It was a disaster. So I have to buy another bottle and try again maybe with the para-soy wax I have. I'm not too much of a fan of the white oak and vanilla but I want to see how it works in my candle. Thank you so much for making these videos cause I always get such great and helpful tips from you 😊

[@BlackTieBarn]

Thank so much. Yah i didn't have any issues with any of the oils and the texture. Definitely seems like a 464 issue in that regard

[@kleineFrau89]

Thank you so much for your videos! I just started making candles, and I'm still a bit overwhelmed. Your videos provide a lot of clarity. I especially appreciated your comments on temperature, as I am one of the people who are stressing out about it. My first batch of candles turned out now so great (smell-wise). Initially, I thought I need to "perfect" my process (i.e. finding the right temperature to add my oils). After watching your videos, I may try out different wax blends and a different oil supplier. Do you happen to know good suppliers in Europe by any chance?

[@Miramakingmagic]

I’ve used chamomile tea as well! It’s better when I mixed it with lavender but it’s very strong black tea scent. Like concentrated black tea. I think it should be a lighter smell than that.

[@BlackTieBarn]

Yes it is. Lol

[@candlewhisperer]

Hello Wade Thomas Great tutorial!!! Great setup!!! The backdrop screams ready to do business but have fun doing it!!! Thank you for describing each note from each scent!!! I will definitely be looking into purchasing some of them. However, I still have scents that I need to use. One thing I observed you do is putting the dye in before the fragrance oil. Does that result in a better ht/ct, and less damage to candle after it set? Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge on your channel!!! Can't wait for the testing video!!!

[@BlackTieBarn]

Thanks. No, order of dye or fragrance doesn't matter. I just do dye first when getting because I'm experimenting with colors and this gives me bit more time to try different colors or add more if needed

[@nancykelly9712]

Love your new setup! Glad to see you are getting settled in. Oh that is too weird, real chamomile tea smells so good though, did they miss that badly?! I had to laugh at your dramatic reaction though! 😂 Btw Lily of the valley should be white or maybe light green at most. I love Oak! My best selling soap is Vanilla Oak it's so good. I don't know why but I find a lot of people like foodie type candles. I'm really not a fan of foodie scents at all either. I wouldn't mind so much in a candle but there's no way I'd wanna wash with something that smells like a cinnamon bun! 😂
