👍thank you, good info. So that’s why our soy candles don’t give off much scent. We need to burn them hotter with dif wicks. We make them just for us & we burn them only in the kitchen sink for safety. We’ve reheated the leftover wax so many times it gets dirty looking so we add a few coffee beans & it looks like it’s on purpose plus smells good.

I love this video for making soy candles... I’m really interested in using essential oils instead of fragrance oils... what’s your opinion?

[@MrsBloomer2006]

Thank you for this video. I'm new to working with wax and I suck at it so far. I'm working with the GB 416 wax, because I'm making melts. Everything you don't want to happen has been happening. The hot throw is almost nonexistent, the tops are lumpy, it frosts horribly and it doesn't release from the clamshells without a struggle. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I'm adding my fragrance (10%) at about 183, stirring for 2 or 3 minutes and pouring between 135 and 165. I started pouring at 145 and I've adjusted up and down trying to find the right temp.My room temperature is always right around 72ish. I want so badly to figure this out, but man its a lot harder than I anticipated. Also I had no clue about the fragrance oil eating through things. I measured out and separated my oil into small dixie cups earlier and within just a couple minutes it was all over my counter. I was so confused, lol.

[@donnamccarron927]

I just started watching your videos, great videos!! I have watched many videos and they suggest heating your containers before adding your wax. I am not happy with the appearance of the sides of my containers, i do add color. Could you please share your thoughts on this much frustrating subject?? I am using GB 444.

[@StandleyHandcrafted]

I am not a fan of heating containers, I just pour at a lower temperature. The main reason people do this is to reduce wet spots (the air bubbles on the sides) in the candles once they're done. You can reduce and sometimes eliminate wet spots by pouring at the lowest possible temperature. They form from the wax shrinking or contracting when cooling. They're tough to get rid of completely and most candle makers just accept them as part of the process. For your next batch, I would pour at a lower temperature and see if that helps at all.

[@donnamccarron927]

Thank you!

[@vielkareyes1142]

Hello @standley; I am beginer in the bussines, anda i am so glad to find you; But, i have a doubt; in GB 464 fos CS, they recomend maximun 10% of fragance oil and they says no more than 10%.

Яна Галайчук I use RedRTV adhesive. It works great!

[@Piper_the_kandi_gurl]

Great video! So you’re doing 12% fragrance with your 464? I was always kind of confused about that because each site that sells 464 says something different about fragrance load. I know candle science says 12% but others say anywhere from 7-10. I usually do 9 but I’d like to try higher for a better throw if it works well for you.

[@StandleyHandcrafted]

J Q I always do 12 or even 13. With soy you can get away with a little more because some will be burned off as it cools. Soy takes forever to cool so I add just a touch more to compensate.

[@jya811]

Hi! I watched another video of yours and thought you had to add fragrance at higher temperatures (180 F) so the fragrance molecules can bond with the wax molecules. Is that not generally the case?

[@StandleyHandcrafted]

The low temp adds are test methods. Oils bind much easier at higher temps for sure.

[@mirandawalker2719]

On the jelly jar you used from CS they have 3 types of these jars two with a 2.5 diameter and a new straight side jelly jar 2.35 using the 464 wax would with HTO 204/93 still be a good starting point for this new jar ?

The best way I have found is to pour a little hotter so the wax can be wiped out immediately with a paper towel then washed with hot soapy water.

Out of all the parasoy waxes you have used this far, which one seems to give off the best hot throw in your trials? I would like to use straight soy wax but they seem to melt a bit while out at farmers markets in the southern heat. The parasoy was a good compromise for me.

[@BmoreGaming]

I know this video is old, but I've seen a lot of sources saying that you should add your FO at around 180 degrees so it can bind to all of the wax and that adding it a lower temp can cause some parts of your wax to have little to no FO and other parts to have too much. Do you still stand by the technique of adding your FO at a lower temp?

[@StandleyHandcrafted]

I definitely still like the low temp method but adding your oils at higher temperatures around 180° you will definitely get easier blending for sure. You can absolutely add your oils at low temps, but it only works with soy wax and you have to be careful when adding it so that you don’t get clumps

Standley Handcrafted thank you so much 😊 for a beginner like me 😌what products do you recommend I buy first that I would use like the melting pot thank you for sharing appreciate it x

[@StandleyHandcrafted]

I would recommend the parsoy wax, IGI6006 since it's so easy to work with. You will get a nice hot throw from it and get a better one when as you learn more. Soy is a great wax but can be tricky to get a stong candle in the beginning and can be frustrating when starting out. As for supplies, I would go to Candle Science and see what they have to offer. They have everything you will need as a beginner. Lone Star, Aztec, Flaming Candle, are all good options as well. I choose Candle Science because they're close to me.

Is it necessary to weigh the wax for the large pitcher? I don’t add my fragrance to the large pitcher. I usually melt the wax in that large pitcher and then i weigh the wax I need for a specific scent in a small pitcher. I am new and still testing the wicks so I’m doing it that way

Hi, I have a quick question! I have watched most of your videos on different wax’s you have used and your reviews. You were right about the 100% soy wax.

Thank you for your videos, they have been very informative! We are having a wicking issue with the jars we just bought. We are using the GB 464 wax in same straight sided jars that you have. We have found some inconsistencies that aren't making sense according to the wick guides we have looked at. We have 3 jars with an ECO 10, CD 10 and CD 12. The CD 10 has a large mushroom and a larger melt pool than the other two. This is not making sense since the other 2 have not mushroomed, especially the CD 12. Do you have any suggestions on which one to use. I almost feel like the manufacturer got the wick sizes mixed up. Thank you

Hello. Thanks for your video. I have a quick clarifying question. Do we add the fragrance to the wax based on the fragrance oil's flashpoint or do we ignore that to keep the fragrance oil from burning off as the wax cools down to the melt pour point?

[@StandleyHandcrafted]

Don’t pay attention to flashpoints, they mean nothing when it comes to adding oils to wax. 🙂 Add the oil just under the heating temp of the wax. Soy is around 185-180 and add oils around 180-170
