Candle making is a group of specific recipes and rules to follow for a successful out come of candle making for sure. I saved my used jars from my candles and remelt the left over wax to make new candles. Didn't think much of it when I was about making new candles, but yes there are rules for me to learn and follow as well. Unless you don't care about how they look and how they smell or burn. Thank you for your helpful tips!

My soy wax has a load of 10-12%. I used to use 10, but I’ve lowered it to 8% to be more safe but now the scent is a bit faint. I add my fo at 188 degrees and pour around 176 degrees. What percent do you mostly use for yours?
@IvyTwineCandles3 жыл бұрын
If the fragrance oil is stated to be safe for use at 10% (usually in the CLP info) then there’s no reason not to if it improves the hot throw ☺️ it totally depends on the FO, supplier etc but we usually use 8 - 10% for our candles 👍 x
@na_jala91022 жыл бұрын
Hey, there. I wanted to thank you so much for this video! I’ve been testing my candles for a few months now before launching my business and my hot throw is the only thing I’m not happy with yet. I’m heating my wax to optimal temperatures, mixing my FO% smoothly for a minimum of three minutes, and pouring at a temperature that gives my smooth tops 90% of the time. So, I’ve been on the hunt to determine why my hot throw isn’t powerful. But, then you pointed out measuring in grams instead of ML’s. I’ve been measuring in ML’s this whole time. Thank you for pointing this out! I would not have known that this isn’t an accurate way.

Very nice video! I am using soy wax C3 on some websites the recommendations for FO was 8%, but on some was max 10%. Very confusing. I was testing with 8% and 10% and really is all about the FO strength, because vanilla was very strong FO, but others very light, so I was adding 10%.

Hi Tia! I had this same issue when I started out. I tried everything and every type of soy wax offered. I did eventually changed to a parablend wax but one thing I found to make a slight difference when I was using soy was adding my scent at around 145-150 degrees, stirring it very well and then letting them cure in a cool dark place untouched for 4-5 weeks. Hope that helps.
