Your videos are so very helpful. I am new to candle making and this was so incredibly informative, right down to the clean up! I have saved this video and will keep returning to it to refresh my memory. Thank you so much. I watch a lot of your videos, last night I watched the calculation one you did on wax and fragrance. Excellent. Cheers.

TFS. I've been so interested in making candles. I looked into buying a kit from candlescience but I think I'll try you out bc your very clear on instructions and give wonderful tips.

[@Minnettescandlesandessentials]

Jeff inspired me i started on 1/1/18 and I am so happy i found his videos! They are very educational and he is very detailed! He even has his cat appear on a couple videos! :) Follow him! You wont be disappointed!

[@shayplus527]

also in the kits do give instructions because I see your giving 3 different scents. so how much of the fragrance would we put for this kit?

[@StandleyHandcrafted]

Shay plus5 So sorry, didn’t see your comment until just now. Thank you so much! Each kit comes with three different bottles of fragrance oil and you use one bottle per set of wax. 🙂

[@StandleyHandcrafted]

I would love to see a video of your storage system

[@ashleythibodeaux9827]

Hi Jeff I Love you’re videos I’m just wondering can you advise when to add the dye blocks for color

[@loboshort]

soooo like you put any amount of wax you want to melt and you can add any amount of oil without weighing anything ,this will be alot easier than soy.lol i think i missed something or you did but i apreciate you and your daughters video.will be my first try at 6006 wax thanks

[@carolinek220]

Love, love, love my candle wax melter!!! Yesterday I spent the morning just pouring single 8 oz tins testing out about 25 of my fragrance oils. I love that it was so easy to dispense and not one drop of wax was spilled. I’m new to candles (I make soaps and lotions) so testing out fragrance oils in the wax was wasting a lot of product. What I mean by that is I would make a pound of wax at a time, add my fragrance oil making two 8 oz candles plus one 4 oz (give or take). If a fragrance oil is not up to par I have wasted three tins, fragrance oil plus wax...not to mention clean-up every time. So what I ended up doing was taking an empty eight ounce tin and slightly bending in the sides to make a “pour spout.” I added the correct amount of wax, fragrance oil and stirred. I poured it into the wicked 8 oz tin, wiped out the now empty tin and repeated the process. When a fragrance wasn’t right or strong enough before and/or after burning I would toss it. Ps...for us newbies take notes! I was already forgetting which fragrance oils I had tried previously and if I liked them or not. I also included notes about the cold throw, hot throw as well as the burn pool. Bonus to the melter is that there is no cleanup!. You leave the unused wax to cool until you are ready to melt it again. So that was a very long-winded but very grateful thank you!

[@StandleyHandcrafted]

Caroline A I love that. Thank you! Those melters makes such a huge difference. Can’t imagine not using them now.

[@Ellenhsiang]

I enjoyed watching so many of your videos. Since I'm a beginner in candle making your videos really helped me a lot. I live in Taiwan and it's easier to find tins to make candles. My problem is the candle would separate from the tin after cooling. Is it because I added 20% beeswax? Is there anyway to avoid this happening?

[@cbpapp]

Could this kit be used with straight side glass jars? Great tip using the wire cutters to cut the wicks! Scissors just smash cotton wicks, even sharp scissors. Will you be restocking the candle making kits soon? Oh my goodness, your daughter has grown since I saw her last in a video. She is beautiful, Jeff! Thank you for this video!

[@yasmeenmoore8782]

What size wick did you use?

[@analugones4092]

great videos, can I use esential oils with the IGI6006 wax

Go ahead phrase is over used, Mallory has become such a nice young girl. Standley your UT’s are great.

[@aceliarodriguez9249]

So nice to see Malory back and she is just beautiful God bless her. IGI 6006 is there a curing time as does the Soy? Can we burn lets say the next day?

[@StandleyHandcrafted]

acelia rodriguez Thank you so much! She’s prEtsy cute. 😁 6006 is mainly paraffin and can be burned the next day

[@braddavis4876]

how long do you cure your parasoy soy candles for? should the lid stay on for the days it takes to cure and if so, how do you get the lids on if youre using the metal wick holders to keep wick straight? thanks so much for what you do. Love your videos

[@312Kimmie]

Using the IGI 6006 and 3" and 3.25" containers, would I use the CD12 for both of those sizes to achieve a full melt pool and best HT? I want to order my wax/wicks today. Thank you!

[@lifeonawhole697]

A few questions. Do you have issues with shipping your candles in the warmer summer months like melting etc? Also if I am using 464 normally, do I have to use a different wax during the summer months like a 444? Also which wax would recommend over all 464, 444 or 6006? Thanks I know it's a lot but I'm new to candle making, just binge watching your videos trying to learn

[@VaVn57]

Have you compared this to the 4633? Dithering and wondering which will get the best throw. Which would you choose for that, if you could use only one of them?

[@dr.w.octaviamalveauxdent1315]

Please tell me how and when you choose to use wooden wicks. Do they stay lit?

Do you recommend and especific brand of fragrance oil? And how much of it you should put? I’m a beginner, what wax do you recommend? Your videos are very very helpful thank you!

[@nx8481]

The flaming candle and candle science are both good sites to order fragrance oil. I usually go with the flaming candle because their shipping is cheaper for me where I live. If you live further west then candle science would probably be cheaper shipping.

[@Yankeegirl_13]

With IGI 6006 what’s the best wicks for candle tins?

[@tbaby124]

just wondering in the kit/ what the wick sizes are for the 6oz cans/ for future ordering and if you carry the wicks only for ordering or only for the kit / as always thanks for sharing

[@elizabethvacendak9196]

What is your preferred cure time with 6006? I'm horribly impatient, but I also like a good scent throw. I'm finding different opinions, but everything suggested in this video worked out great for my first 6006 candle. Thank you!

[@StandleyHandcrafted]

Elizabeth Vacendak 24-48 hours. Mainly paraffin so it doesn’t need long.

[@elizabethvacendak9196]

Thank you so much! I was just coming back to say I found it under your review of the wax, but you beat me to it! Appreciate the videos and all of the tips, keep up the great work.

[@tatieeeeverafter9463]

Hey 👋🏾 what size wick did you use?

[@Dan-eb9fs]

You mentioned pouring at a hotter temp to avoid bubbles but doesn’t pouring hotter cause sinkholes? Is there an ideal pour temp to avoid sinkholes and bubbles? Also, why are you using the htp126 instead of the 104’s you usually use in your other videos? What wick would you recommend for a 16oz jar with 3.25 diameter? I’ve learned so much from your videos, thank you!

[@StandleyHandcrafted]

Daniel Abad Pouring hotter does create more sinkholes but pouring too low can cause more bubbles on top. There is a fine line between which one you want to have and fix. With these tins the sinkholes don’t really happen becausee they’re a wider diameter. This is also why I went up a few wick sizes as well, the wider diameter.

[@paulinportsva4464]

I heat the oven up to 170 degrees while pouring candles at 170 degrees. Then I let the wax cool just enough to form a skin. Then I turn off the oven and place the candles in the cooling oven. This slows down the cooling process. I never get sinkholes

No, the flash point has nothing to do with adding the oil to wax. It's only a concern for shipping in the air and if the oil is near an open flame. You do not need to worry about flash points when adding it to the wax at all.
