My husband and I just took a bunch of wax left over from other candles and sorted them by color. Then poured back into jars. We are not picky about temp. as long as it is melted and smells good. Still have to top them off. We have candles!!! ... might not be centered perfectly but, Oh well!!! 😛

[@devbachu7072]

I am confused about the degree or ferirheit of the temperature which one to use

[@soulpenalty6587]

Essential oils should be avoided. Use fragrance oils (pre-made blends), or ideally, if you have the skills, make your own fragrance oil using aroma chemicals which are suitable for candles.

[@MultiSamuel95]

Why should they be avoided?

[@Sychev_Vladimir]

hey there, I would like to ask, did you stirred the essential oils along with wax with medium heat? or we can just do it after turned off the stove ? please help me out, thanks!

[@BrandonTobatto]

Can you add 'too much' scent to a candle? Is there a standard amount chart somewhere?

[@gracecupid]

It depends on the wax you're using, the wax will indicate the recommended fragrance oil %

[@iuliaSekea]

Where can I find the mug so big? 🙄 How many degrees to wax? Thanks

[@egystouch7226]

Hello, after adding essential oil, do I need to keep on stirring until temperature to 125degrees?

[@Emsie76]

Stirring always helps but nice and slow, as not to get air bubbles. To be honest in my experience the longer you cure your candles the better they bind with the scent 👍

[@essentialessencebycl8736]

Does the temperature in the room matter when you’re adding fragrance or pouring the wax.

[@wyleshiajoseph7391]

Hi, Do you have to let soy wax candle sit for 2 weeks to make the scent stronger?

[@StandleyHandcrafted]

I've never noticed a huge difference in curing candles for longer than 4-5 days. Candles are not like soap, they don't need to sit for weeks at a time for a chemical process to take place. They're just hardening. q

[@evo6788]

Is beewax a good wax?

[@beccakeeton1915]

When you say you have 10 Oz of wax and you add half Oz of frangrace, do you measure 10oz of wax before its melted in its hard state and then figure out your fragrance percentage from that?

[@ogkushmuffins]

i dont think it would make much of a difference but its good to be that way alot harder work everyday tho

[@cassandralejeck3770]

I have the same question if i measure 20 oz wax it melts to 12 oz

[@marydd4147]

I'm confused - all other online advice about wax fragrance is one ounce per pound. So I just made my first batch of candles with that concentration. How do you decide? Thanks.

[@MakeSushi1]

That is about 5%, a pound is 453g and an ounce is 28 grams, which is 6%

[@woosterwarrrior766]

You mean the tops of the candles? If they dip thats normal. Wax shrinks as it cools and you just need to run a heat gun over the tops to smooth them back out.

Let's all help each other! Use me to comment: a) if you have already figured out your ideal % of essential oil (Y/N) b) what % of essential oils was that (x%) c) at what temperature you added the essential oil to the wax (x° Degrees Celcius) d) at what temperature you poured (x° Degrees Celcius) Make sure to specify: 1) what type of wax you used (if 100% soy, when possible, specify if it's 464, 444, etc.) 2) are you sure your essential oils were 100% pure? (Y/N) 3) what essential oil you used (lavender, eucaliptus, patchouli, etc.) 4) If you have already figured out the wick size and all the rest. (Y/N) (This so that we can be sure that this is not interfering with your results)
