Just wonderful, been searching for "how do you clean wax melt molds?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Peyaniel Psychological Predominance - (search on google ) ? It is a great exclusive product for discovering the trick to be a candle maker for profit minus the headache. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my friend got cool results with it.

At the end of the video my granddaughter was waving bye-bye and saying bye-bye bye-bye it was so cute! She’s only 13 months old but she likes watching your videos and she loves the soap because she thinks it’s Yum Yum‘s and your voice. It’s lovely for me because I watch your videos! Even the older ones, I go back and watch your videos.

[@sonicamy4518]

There is some awesome tips in here! One I had never thought of was running your heat gun over your empty molds to get the frosting out of them. I had always used alcohol. With alcohol in short supply right now, this totally makes sense. It saves you some money too! Thank you for the helpful tips!

[@TheLisaGate]

I use hand sanitizer to get the wax out. I live close to the Purell headquarters so we have a whole bunch in the stores around here.

So in love with candles, and decided to learn how to make my own, and popped through your page, amazing tips and descriptions.. sty safe and blessed! ❤️❤️ Lots of love and appreciation from Dubai 🥰 #Subscribed😍

[@mariaocampo7240]

Love these tips because I'm using the same molds. I found that for my wax, the max T I can have when pouring is 55 Celsius, above that it's a nightmare when it comes to unmolding, a real struggle! Putting them in the fridge (I don't have a freezer) also helps indeed. Have you considered getting one of those small heart molds for the extra wax? That could make a lovely sample (and numerous!)

[@IDreamInSoap]

I've never made wax melts and probably never will, but it's you, so hey, I'm going to turn up to watch :-)

Question is. You didn’t measure how much wax you had for your oil. So how do you know it was only 5%??

[@sophiegoode3230]

I thought the same!!

[@missmary5048]

the molds have a white film on them from previous wax melts..before using use heat gun on them lightly..will restore them back to original color and no frost will show up on wax melts..

I have a heat gun that I used for rubber stamping back in the day. I gave it to my husband because I don’t stamp anymore.

[@Sarah-wk7bg]

Thank you for this video 🙌🏼 can I ask, how do you know how much wax and fragrance to use to fill your moulds so you don’t make too much or too little?

[@EdensSecret1]

About 360g wax to 30g fragrance for one snap bar

[@jubs1533]

@@EdensSecret1 I assume you mean these quantities are for all 6 bars in the mould as I only needed 50g wax and 5g oil for one bar.

[@glenisgibson9736]

Sorry just found my answer in your links!!

[@pambooth812]

In use metal jugs they retain heat longer to give you more time to pour (heat it with a heat gun) also heat my moulds so no uneven edges .. Never any frosting

[@naomimatchett6658]

I'm struggling with the unmoulding . How long should I let the snap bars cure before unmoulding ?? I use the golden 494 wax and when I un-mould theres lots of wax still stuck in the corners of the mould x

[@Hilary_ClarbySoaps]

I’ve never mepade wax melts but these look fabulous tips! Thank you for sharing 💕

[@ohsoscenty6242]

Another tip would be to use your heat gun on the mould prior to pouring, as in a minute or so before. It helps the wax to not stick. Also using this wax, if you blend it with another wax that will also help to reduce the sticking and the cure time. This wax needs 2 weeks cure time 💓💓💓

[@marikiemarie7622]

No it don't. Package them up right away and by the time you sell it and the customer uses it...it's cured enough

[@Paula202]

hey there, this was really interesting, thank you :) I was mesmerised by the glitter! Could a hairdryer be used instead of the heat gun?

[@stephanieallen6406]

Maybe on low with high temp otherwise the wax will blow out of the cup

[@dolphinman9896]

It can be. It works but it's slower. A heatgun will definitely be better if you can get it :)

Hi. Do you have a link for the glitter please. I've checked out glitter express with no luck. TIS

[@tanya_france59200]

Thank you very much for the tips! ❤️

[@carpentersization]

I use one of those electric turkey roasters as my wax melter. It holds like 30 pounds of wax and then I can just turn on the wax when making candles and turn off till my next session. I scoop out my wax to my pyrex colour and fragrance. When I am done just unplug til next go. They are like 29-39 cdn here. It tucks a way nice too if u want.

[@EdensSecret1]

Great idea Sandra

[@wendysweesuds5936]

You can heat wax then cool it down then reheat a few days later?

[@carpentersization]

Wendy’s Wee Suds yes large companies do it when they blend their waxes. I do all the time.

[@rm7698]

Wonderful tips! Thank you. Do you use normal glitter or biodegradable glitter?

[@nonamezplz4873]

You’re doing SO MUCH wrong. Horrible video to give “tips”, more of “what not to do”. No double boiler, no melting pot…. Just a pot on the hob- Totally unsafe. You let wax drip from the edge into the hob. Fire risk. Using a plastic pour pot, with a heat gun… again -not wise! Cant even get through the rest it’s awful to give these examples to beginners.

[@embbullet957]

Where would I get wax, and scents from ?? (: newbie here

[@lisabickerstaff314]

Hi. Im thinking of setting up a wax melt business and your video was really helpful thank you. Im in the UK which wax is the best to use for wax melts? I was reading about CLP labels do they need to be on products and do you need insurance to sell wax melts if your just starting out?

I love Ecosoya Melt wax. Yes you have to put CLP and It's always best to have insurance

Don't use a wooden sharp pointy thing on your silicone molds....they will be permanently marked and none of your wax will be smooth. Use a Qtip

I brought a wax melter pot and it was the best thing I ever done. I love making wax melts. I have yet to try the wax colors, I have been using liquid or mica , but I have noticed that I have to use more to get the right color. Do you think I should try to use the wax one ? God bless you.

I have a very large block of wax that I have had for years which is a kind of red in colour. When I say large it is around ten pounds in weight. I was wondering if I could use this to make wax melts. I have no idea what type of wax it is, I cannot even remember where I first got it from as I have had it for so many years and not done anything with it. All I can say is it is one large block of wax.
