Are you measuring the waxes and fragrance by volume or weight? Also if I have a 10 oz vessel and I use 10 oz wax, adding then 1 oz of fragrance doesn't the vessel overflow? Thanks for all your help! Just placed another order :) Got the wrong wicks last time duh should have stopped here first :)

[@bradymcphail9690]

This was by far the most educating video on candle making I’ve seen yet! I’ve been watching a lot to learn a new hobby. I definitely subscribed.

[@makesyofficial]

Glad it was helpful!

[@easyfoodchannelsa]

Thank you 😊 I have a questions and hope you can help. I was wondering if just cocnut oil will be a good mix with the beeswax? Will the coconut oil increase to a longer burning time?

[@makesyofficial]

Great question! We've addressed this in your previous one above :)

[@aylin1977]

How did you know how much wax to cut? I want to buy your wax but I think measuring the wax with chips will be easier.

[@makesyofficial]

We typically recommend cutting the box in half then dividing in again in 6-8 smaller pieces. You can then weigh each piece to find out how much total wax you have in each chunk before you melt it!

[@sandywest4299]

tyvm havent made a candle yet but you will know when i do.

[@makesyofficial]

Let us know if you have any additional questions when you do!

[@phia2k]

I'm confused on the pour temp for this wax. My box doesn't say what temp to heat the wax but says to pour at 145 degrees. The website says to mix and pour at 150 degrees but you responded to someone on this thread to stop heating at 137 degrees and mix and pour at this temp. Can you please confirm what temp i'm to stop heating the wax and the mix and pour temp.

[@makesyofficial]

Hello! Thanks for watching :) The wax should stop heating at 137 degrees.

[@razorbackz12]

@@makesyofficial this doesn’t make sense? It should stop heating at 137, but the box say mix and pour at 145, one part of the website says 150 and another says add fragrance at 180. Could you please explain the proper details for using specifically bees wax and your scent products?

[@miaandethanandjordan7747]

Did you ever find out what temp you have to heat up the wax to? I get what you mean that it doesn't make sense because it didn't make ANY SENSE TO ME EITHER.

Hi there, I can't find your link to picking the right wicks? Can I please have that information. :)

[@makesyofficial]

Hi there! You can use our handy dandy Wick Selection Guide here: makesy.com/pages/makesy-wick-selection-guide

[@ScottWoodruff]

I've always wondered about working with beeswax. This is so helpful, thank you!

[@makesyofficial]

Happy to help! Thanks for the feedback, happy making! 😊

[@maryjaye8198]

So do you melt the wax to 137 or higher and then let it cool down? I keep seeing different temperatures and I don’t want to burn my wax. It’s gone from 165 to 200 degrees. Please help

[@makesyofficial]

Hi there! 137 degrees is when you stop heating up your wax and mix in your fragrance oil and pour into your candles :)

[@halfpint1421]

@@makesyofficial but on the box of wax it says pouring temp 145 degrees

[@razorbackz12]

@@halfpint1421 I agree, this is super inconsistent and kind of unprofessional that this question refuses to be addressed. The box labeling is so confusing

[@razorbackz12]

@@makesyofficial this is completely contradictory to so many other stats and instructions on your products and website. Can you please clarify? Spending thousands on your website but with every product and comment saying different things it’s so unclear

[@sandyquispe4746]

I’m using up lots of beeswax that I have on hand. What is the correct coconut oil ratio?

[@sandyquispe4746]

I’m using the same woodwicks as the one in your video.

[@makesyofficial]

We recommend 5% coconut oil to start. You can increase up to 10% if it's really not burning.

[@brunellanataliaromeromayur3347]

Hii! Can I use bee wax to make bubble candles?

[@makesyofficial]

Hi Brunella! For bubble candles we suggest using soy wax :)

[@mirunga9584]

Amo estos videos💕

[@halfpint1421]

When pouring my wax it always seems to have those dips or craters, how do I fix that?

[@pink-death]

you're may be pouring them a little to hot. just let it cool down a bit after melting

[@makesyofficial]

This is called a sink hole. It happens when the wax cools too rapidly or the candle is being poured too hot. You can first reduce try reducing you mix and pour temp by 10 degrees and then you can use a heat gun to fill in any surface imperfections!

[@ASihr-kp8pp]

What’s the difference between all 3 of your waxes

[@makesyofficial]

All of our waxes are smooth, creamy, luxurious and hold a heavy fragrance load with optimum burn performance. Our Virgin Coconut Soy and Coco Apricot Crème waxes are fairly soft and our Beeswax Coco Crème is more firm. The Virgin Coconut Soy wax is made from a blend of soy and coconut waxes, both come from renewable sources. The Coco Apricot Crème wax is made from a blend of apricot and coconut wax and contains no soy, unlike a majority of natural wax blends on the market. The coconut in this blend also comes from a renewable source. And the Beeswax Coco Crème is a blend of a proprietary combination of ethically sourced beeswax, and renewably coconut, soy, and palm waxes! :)

[@its_sky23]

My first candle I used soap fragrance for smell 😂😂😂 oops 🙊

[@blaccolive365]

Damn 😁

[@1884Winter]

@Breanna there are fragrances you can use for both - it will say something like this IFRA Maximum Skin Exposure Levels: Candle: 100.00% Body Lotion: 16.60% Body Wash: 30.70% Soap: 30.70% Body Powder: 12.30% Perfume: 16.60% Deodorant: 1.20%

[@piapadmore430]

What happened?

[@its_sky23]

@@piapadmore430 nothing, it just didn’t smell like anything

[@christybrooks3729]

What do you mean by mix and pour temperature.

[@ronihewitt1028]

Wax needs to be a certain temp to mix in your fragrances, too cold and it won't mix well and you'll end up with an uneven mixture that will melt poorly. It also needs to be a certain temp to pour to prevent sugaring, glazing or bubbles.

[@sweetlife11]

Is your beeswax sourced in the US?

[@makesyofficial]

It is sourced both in the USA and internationally. :)

[@royalladybug30]

That palm oil threw me. Its one of the most unethically obtained nonanimal products.

[@royalladybug30]

@NopeNopeNope you can add coconut or canola oil to the wax. About half to a full a cup per pound.

[@sonicamy4518]

@NopeNopeNope the palm wax is ethically sourced through RSPO and the paraffin is food grade. There is no worries of contaminating the plant or your own body. Wooden Wick Company works diligently to give us the finest waxes available. I am not paid to say that. I've just done many hours of research.

[@os2841]

@@sonicamy4518 Food grade paraffin? OK, I will pay you $10 to eat some then. No? Don't want cancer? That's what I thought.

[@chocolatesugar4434]

But its not actually beeswax...ugh

[@makesyofficial]

It's beeswax and coconut :)
