Definitely need to make a candy ASAP! Thanks Wendy!!

[@wendybalfour1675]

Yes do it! It was so easy. Beeswax candles smell great and clean the air. Amazing!

Hello, could you please tell me at what temperature did you add the fragrance?

[@wendybalfour1675]

Hello, my apologies I missed your message! In the video I added the fragrance right after the wax and oil melted. I noticed the fragrance did not last long. Heat is not great for essential oils. The next time I made the candles I added the fragrance after I poured the candle in the container. The fragrance lasted better this way. Also I mentioned in another post the tricky part about making candles is the wick. When I made my candles a second time I used a thick wick. The first time I made them the wick was a bit small and then it burns like a tunnel. I thicker wick or twisting two together really made a difference for my candles. They burned more evenly!

does it have a nice hot throw? im trying to switch from soy

[@wendybalfour1675]

Yes. I think it has a hot throw! Beeswax burns at a higher temperature then soy and supposedly throws scent better as well. I used a larger diameter wick (twisted 2 together) and more essential oils the next time I made these. The tricky part about making your own candles is the wick. The first time I made them the wick was a bit small and it burned like a tunnel in the middle of the candle. With a bigger wick or putting two wicks really made a difference!

@@wendybalfour1675 my candle flames kept getting too high even the soy mixtures i may just try and mix it with coconut instead

in reality, it is not this easy.

To make a perfect candle is tricky. The wick is very important. I found that at first my wick was way too small and it just burned like a tunnel….but I was really surprised that I could actually make a candle and it wasn’t too hard. Perfecting it is definitely much harder.
