I use a stainless steel straw to place my wicks and have found this to be easy and accurate.

Very nice video, and easy to follow. What an amazing piece of wood leaning in the back, that's going to make a beautiful art piece of some kind.

Thank you. I made a front counter with one that turned out pretty nice.

Thank you

[@carmensiler771]

The fryer came with the The spout to pour out the wax or did you make it that way and how did you make it that way

[@Lwflowers]

I made it that way. Drilled a hole and used a 1/2 ball valve

[@AnaMaria-tz1iy]

Can I use soy wax, and how many cups of fragrance oil for 12- 8oz jars. Please make more videos. Thank you.

[@lucianosonia14sl]

Use a empty pen tube instead of that stick.

[@Soyliz4ever]

I have seen all your videos and I love them I have learned a lot !! but I have a question if you do not mind ! how much fragrance should I put in a 4 0z bottle and soy wax 464

[@Lwflowers]

No more than 10%, so .40. What works best for me is I use 3 lbs wax and add 4.0 Oz of fragrance

[@chosenone5453]

I’m new to candles and how to measure the fragrance, do you recommend a book for me to help me from start to end. Amazing video thank you

[@Lwflowers]

Just use a scale. Pretty inexpensive at walmart

[@bosslady2865]

What was the temperature when you added fragrance and when you poured into the containers?

[@Lwflowers]

150 to 160well below the flash point but just before it starts to set up

[@videosentinel4763]

The concave effect has to do with the table. If you had a metal top table it will reduce the concave effect. Metal gets cold and it help the wax solidify from the bottom up. It’s been my experience.

[@bellasotelo4879]

any updates on posting new videos working with this wax i switch wax from 464 to igi 6006 so far so good is amazing but i will like to see more videos for this wax

[@Lwflowers]

I will sill see if I can do a video tomorrow, I am testing some wicks and wax. doing a wick test.

[@JMICTHEBRAND.]

I promote my candles as clean burning i use a 100% soy wax and a coconut soy blend. It sounds like people always have more success with using paraffin or blends of paraffin for better throws. And i am stuck between a rock and a hard place because my candles are being promoted as luxury CLEAN, with clean and healthy ingredients with out all the crap that they say is in paraffin.

[@fredziffle5219]

He’s fun to watch, no fuss just right to the point, but that cord makes me nervous, looks like it’s going to get hot up next to the wall of the wax melter.

[@Lwflowers]

Thx for the comment. We do watch the cords. They are not very long.

[@Lwflowers]

@@philomenaking1176 melt the wax and start there. Try 1.5 lbs and 2.5 or 2oz frag. Just think.you might be short

[@kierra3719]

Wax is a bomb?? Wow.

[@madhuchand2594]

I guess on high heat any oil would be.

[@barbr316]

What temperature did you pour your wax I did see some bubbles in your wax when you were pouring maybe that caused a sinkhole or maybe The temperature that you poured could’ve been that but this is a great video for beginners like myself you explained really well what you were doing and as a beginner I was taking notes thank you for making this video it will help out a lot of beginners in candlemaking Please make more videos for beginners

[@Lwflowers]

I pour the wax about 150 + or minus. Usually not below 145 and not above 160.

[@marikiemarie7622]

Bubbles do not make the sink holes. That happens no matter what. You just go over them with a heat gun and done.

[@Lwflowers]

Thanks for the kind words. I pour aroundv150 deg. The bubbles are from stirring in tbevfragrance. They float to the top.

[@Lwflowers]

@@marikiemarie7622 yes. Right

[@robinm6967]

Interesting video you don’t have to stir your wax in the melting pot at all at any given point? Good job!

[@Lwflowers]

No, I just check thevtemp

[@hananrezkalla1772]

Is this machine suitable for paraffin wax?

[@IrishQ76]

IG 6006 is not the greatest for wax melts. Plus it's not mostly soy. It's 70% paraffin 30% soy. If you want a soy wax with a touch of paraffin there are tons out there like soy10 for example

[@Lwflowers]

I have used it for years. They don't break, or Crack and have never had a complaint

[@leithleith83]

Misleading title to the video and product as well...IGI 6006 is not considered pure soy as stated in the video and any candle made with it isn't a soy candle...in fact, IGI 6006 is approximately 70% paraffin and 30% soy. You are cheating your customers if you say your candles are soy when they are not, and some people might want pure soy for health and/or environmental reasons. Also, a great example of what NOT to do when making candles.

[@yeseniabalagtas8343]

We’re do you find pure soy ?

[@leithleith83]

@@yeseniabalagtas8343 sorry for the super late response, but GW 464 is pretty close...the additives are also derived from Soy.
