Excellent video. Love how thorough you are explaining. Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🥰

[@brittanykenemore6327]

Your channel is so real & easy for me to follow. I appreciate these so much!!

[@calafiacandleco]

Aw thank you so much! I’m happy to hear that. 😃

[@caitlynelle1287]

Love your channel so much! It's so refreshing to see other candlemakers be open to sharing their materials and processes. It is so helpful!!

[@calafiacandleco]

Aw thank you! That means a lot :)

[@Minnettescandlesandessentials]

Love it! A tip… I use and sell wax melt liners that allow me to switch out and add a different scent and I save the one I pop out for a later time!

[@crystalnelson1938]

I love everything you do. You are one of my favorites. I especially love your cement candle jars those are my one of my favorites. I like clear glass jars as well. I also like some tin can candle containers. I want to just work with melts and work my way up to the cement jars.

[@spirit_booster]

Thank you so much for your content! I’ve learned so much! ❤

[@Straingelove]

Everything is so beautiful! I love the simplicity of your packaging! I wish your videos lasted 30 mins lol I just learn so much and you’re always so real and genuine, it’s so rare these days so thank you for being you!!

[@calafiacandleco]

Wow thank you so much for the kind words! I appreciate it! :)

[@Pumpkinseedwaxco]

Hi there! I have Canva, but I am having difficulties printing my labels. You are so inspiring, thank you for sharing all of your deets. ❤

[@calafiacandleco]

Aw thanks for the kind words! I'd recommend checking out some youtube video tutorials for labels if you're struggling!

[@Yoube-br1ht]

Thanks for the info

[@sateriahickson8866]

Great informational video. Thank you

[@calafiacandleco]

Thanks for watching!

[@asuzenahernandez2439]

Love the video

[@calafiacandleco]

Thank you! :)

[@crystalnelson1938]

Hi Calafia Candle, this is going to be my first-time doing wax melts. I will be using the same wax that you are using and the same clamshell. My question is I will be doing a hundred shell, how much wax will I need to use? You said each shell holds 2.5 oz and I multiplied that by a 100 came up to 250. How much wax will I need to order?

[@lisawalker7923]

Very nice

[@BlackTieBarn]

👌🤗

[@aleksandramarszalkowska1745]

Can you please show us how to do the sprays - please please

[@Yoube-br1ht]

How much liquid wax in grams did we need and fragrance oil did we need in grams thank you

[@Lalimonadaroja]

Hi, did you print yourself the labels?, and if you do , what printer and paper you used?

[@tammygilchrest]

Beautiful product and video, thank you. What is the cure time for the C 55 wax? Can you give insight to rather a full week is necessary for curing?

[@calafiacandleco]

I do find a week cure time works well for the C55 wax. It takes a bit for the scent to fully develop.

[@fatmaomar141]

You are really inspiring, thank you very much. May I know where the heart silicone mold is from? I liked the size of your samples.

[@calafiacandleco]

Thank you so much! I have it linked in my Amazon storefront, which you can find linked in the description box. Thanks for watching!

[@adic7805]

Hello, I love your videos on candle and wax melt-making. I do have a question but , what type of wax do you use for making the wax melts ? And where do you add the sealer ?

[@calafiacandleco]

Hi, I have the wax linked in the video. C55 wax. What sealer are you referring to?

[@michellegillie4817]

Love your videos! Have you done a video on your room sprays?

[@calafiacandleco]

Thanks so much! I haven’t! Added to the list

[@kdhillion]

The one I have is quite soft

[@panalakia]

Hi! Great info and lovely wax melts. Where did you get your wax melt warmer? I really like that

[@calafiacandleco]

Hello! I got it on Etsy. Looks like it’s sold out, but I’m sure there are similar ones on Etsy or Amazon. www.etsy.com/listing/516685111/

[@sherriemartin6202]

On the sample you didn’t add a warning label. Is a warning label required or just something you do?

[@calafiacandleco]

Great question! This is something I recently started doing, as I have now changed to a different type of sample packaging. Warning labels are a requirement.

[@xoxCynnaminkissesxox]

So if you heat it to 190-200F you put the fragrance in immediately and it doesn't burn off?

[@calafiacandleco]

No, fragrance doesn’t burn off. That’s a myth.

[@spirit_booster]

Can you add color to this formula for the melts?

[@calafiacandleco]

You definitely could! I've never used color, but have been looking into it.

[@portiataylor2239]

Can you use coconut wax to make wax melts or do I need to buy the coconut wax tart?

[@calafiacandleco]

You can try, but you may need to add something to it to make it harder. You usually want a more firm wax for melts.

[@ItsJessie915]

How do you find the C55 work for your wax melts. Does it have a strong scent throw

[@calafiacandleco]

Yes! I personally find it throws wonderfully. I love it.

[@ItsJessie915]

@@calafiacandleco ok thanks

[@barbr316]

How well does it hold the fragrance

[@calafiacandleco]

Very well! C55 is a great wax. I actually find my melts to be more fragrant than the candles.

[@Fchgcgguj]

Did you purchase your wax from midwest?

[@calafiacandleco]

My current box is from Porter Candle Supply, but I will be purchasing from Midwest when I need to replenish.

[@user-fx3vq4vi8y]

Where do you get your candle wax

[@calafiacandleco]

Hello! I get my coco83 from California candle supply. And I’m now getting my SP 487 from sunshine candle supply on Etsy.

[@user-fx3vq4vi8y]

Thanks i really appreciate it

[@kdhillion]

I thought coconut wax was soft

[@calafiacandleco]

Coconut container waxes are soft, but this is a tart wax. So it is a lot harder since it’s intended for something like wax melts.

[@kdhillion]

@@calafiacandleco the coconut container wax can be used as it is or do we need to add something else like soy before the using it . Never tried it but keen to try

[@calafiacandleco]

@@kdhillionit can certainly be used as is for candles. If you’re planning on using container wax for wax melts, I would consider adding something to it to make it firmer.
