Cheap vs Expensive: Candle Making for the First Time

As a candlemaker, I greatly enjoyed this content! Mica isn't great for candles because it clogs the wick, but it can be used in wax melts and as an exterior coating for pillar/taper candles. Evan's candle drowned because of two reasons: the diameter of the wick was too small for the container, and the mica clogged the wick, limiting the flame. The cheap kit is very close to a real candlemaking set up, actually! The pots I use are taller and have a plastic handle to avoid heat transfer. I could see you guys doing pretty well at your next candlemaking attempts!

@@nicholekam5527 wax expands when warm and shrinks when cool. The edges cool faster, and thus hold the shape of it, but then as it center cools, it shrinks. Many solids do this, but paraffin is REALLY bad about it, soy less so. You can sometimes get the opposite with ice cubes when the water is really pure. :D

Fun video guys, my husband shared it with me because he knows I love making candles. The pouring pitcher in that kit is not commonly used in candle making. The one that is used has a heat resistant handle, also try adding about an inch or two of water so the pitcher can sit on its own without wobbling so you don't have to constantly hold it over the heat. You had the right idea about using a heat gun, use it to remelt the top of the jar candles and that will help with the dips/ hole in your candle. Hope this helps.

Plastic & clay charms or even natural options like fern leafs with spa scents and soft pastel colors. So many options! The fan favorite was hidden "surprise" items.

If you're actually looking in the comments for tips etc, I can tell you that the paraffin wax would probably take just as long in the double boiler as it did in the machine since it has a higher melting point than soy. Paraffin is used for making pillar candles for that reason, whereas soy has to be in a container like a jar (just be careful what type you use since some can explode when exposed to high heat). I use an old pot and a silicone container to double boil wax when I make candles (getting old, cooled wax residue out of silicone is 1000x easier than a metal jug like that). It helps to let the wax cool until its sort of like alfredo thickness to pour it, you get less collapsing that way.

Katelyn: the bottom plug. Evan: we are not that type of channel. Me: YOOOOOOO

[@tammyhartley7292]

So... I love crafts and I thought I would look into candle making. I've been watching various videos and I stumbled on this one. I haven't laughed that much in a long time. You guys are hilarious not to mention very informative. Thanks for the laugh and the education.

33 minutes of a new video from the best KZbin channel of all time!

Wonderful family friendly content! We all watch together and at the "bottom plug" part my daughters (11 and 14yo) started giggling. I, of course, acted oblivious. Lol. No worries. It was funny if a bit awkward. As for why the center of the candle collapsed, most materials shrink when cooled (except water because water is weird). The wick may have absorbed some wax but I think that would be a negligible amount.... Perhaps not.

I love the effort they put into their sponsored "commercials"

You guys are so CUTE together! Love watching the fun you have and the affection you share. You make such a great team. 🥰

i make candles for a living. majority of watching this im just going "oh no"

[@ozzywhitley4637]

I have a older version of the more expensive one that I love and cringed so badly when they were complaining at the time required to melt the wax

[@khione8044]

@Ajax White Same here! I'm watching this and cringing at so many inaccuracies as they're making it. When they mentioned "Mica Powders", I just wanted to shout "No! Never use mica in a candle!".

@@noctilucera7585 Mica powders clog the wick, preventing it from burning. They are perfectly fine to use in wax melts, but not good to use in candles.

Such a good husband, first question asked when learning that wax was splashed was "are you ok?" Then compliments her salsa ❤️❤️

[@ferociouspanda]

The 1:03 mark when Katelyn gave the wax a good smacking had me crying of laughter. Am I the only one???😂😂😂 That was so great I love these two!!🥰

Love how Katelyn sounded like a mom who just found out her kid peaked at his Christmas present and this was made close to Christmas.
