[@CandleRomance]

El placer es mio, gracias por tu apoyo.

[@myownworldalways]

The best candle- making video I have seen so far. Thank you!

[@CandleRomance]

Wow, thank you!

[@rosa1470]

Me encanta tu energia, eres encantador🙌❤

[@piamcgarry-moger9984]

can you smell the coconut oil in the wax ?

[@CandleRomance]

not at all, just the beautiful fragrance oil. I also conducted a hot throw test and it's the same as the wax without coconut oil.

[@TeriLynneTX]

Hi Michael! How much coconut oil did you add to the 464?

[@CandleRomance]

a teaspoon for each candle I believe.

[@user_vwtx]

Thak you for showing us how to make the candles .. How much coconut oil do you use ?

[@CandleRomance]

I would recommend a tablespoon for every 16oz. of soy wax. Thanks for reaching out.

[@PanGargamel]

​@@CandleRomance did you test smaller amounts as well? I can see that almost every article suggests adding about 0.5 - 1 teaspoon (not tablespoon) per one pound of wax. I didn't use coconut oil before and I'm going to give it a try tomorrow, but I'm curious about your experience with the ratios

[@CandleRomance]

@@PanGargamel you could try the smaller amounts and see if it works for you. I haven't tried using it again since that video was filmed.

[@Rina-lt7om]

do you use parrafin wax?

[@CandleRomance]

No, I personally don't use parrafin wax. There's other waxes that I think are best for high quality candles.

[@Rina-lt7om]

thank you .. i used soy wax but after curing time and i lit the candle i dont smell any scent 😭

[@CandleRomance]

@@Rina-lt7om it's not the wax, it may be the wrong combination of wax/fragranceoil/wick. It takes a lot of testing to get the right combination. I use No.7 wax with CDN wick series and 10percent fragrance load, and only cure for 2 days, and get excellent results every time.

[@Rina-lt7om]

@@CandleRomance thank you so much .. i always watch your videos .. im planning to open a candle business it really big help to me.

[@j23dowell]

How was the ht with the coconut oil?

[@CandleRomance]

same as the others.

[@j23dowell]

@@CandleRomance is that better or the same?

[@CandleRomance]

@@j23dowell same

[@jodymontez693]

Add some beeswax also!🐝🐝🐝

[@allisonhigh2470]

Great video, thank you so much.

[@CandleRomance]

You are welcome!

[@marlenebright1564]

I use coconut/soy wax and I get a smooth top every time. Why don't you just switch to coconut/soy

[@CandleRomance]

I'm currently using Soy Bliss wax, and it's my favorite so far, I get it at Hive and Honey

[@val-bm3so]

Good Morning Michael ❤️, Your Biceps are Awesome 😎 Thank you for sharing this journey with different waxes I'm so L@@king forward to these videos and the results 💖 Have a Beautiful Blessed Day🥀 PeAcE

[@CandleRomance]

Good morning, thank you for your support!

[@jacquiericard5190]

How much CO did you add? I use GW464 💙

[@CandleRomance]

I believe I added a teaspoon for this video. Typically it should be a tablespoon per 16oz of wax.
