Testing COCO-APRICOT WAX - making candles at home!

[@dragonflycreationsia6013]

A high vanilla content in your fragrance can turn your candle yellow over time and especially when exposed to sunlight. Also try using a straw to stick the wick to the bottom of your vessel. When measuring FO use a toothpick or skewer for the oil to travel down and it won’t drip down the side of your bottle.

I have been working with this wax for several months now. I have learned that the higher the temperature you pour the tops come out nice and smooth. I usually add the fragrance at 200° and pour about 195 Fahrenheit or 190. Great videos good luck with your candles ❤️❤️

[@Vrie.]

I add the FO @215F and mix for 3 full minutes I then heat my Jars in the oven and pour at 155F The heated vessels allow for a slow cooling

I use coconut soy, and love it! With coconut wax types you don’t need to stir very long… maybe 30 seconds, and I’d heat it up a little more, 210 or so and add fragrance at 200 degrees. Thanks for your videos, always so inspired to keep going!

[@rlpittard]

I use the same wax and I found that if you pour slow it will alleviate sink holes and it makes a more even top!

[@dianariggs8604]

Nice! Is the wick too long though? My understanding it should be trimmed to 1/4"

[@poppyandbloomhomestead]

This wax is the best to work with in my opinion. Love the new vinyl.

[@BumblebeeFern]

Would LOVE to see a video on the vinyl labels!! I do a lot of oils and need to upgrade from the paper labels.

[@sunnybeach103]

The coco apricot soy is my favorite, woodenwick has the best. I do mix a tiny bit of another wax for my recipe but good choice with the coco apricot.

[@chocolatesugar4434]

I make beeswax candles but I'd love to try coconut and apricot wax....looks great

[@orinconant9809]

Hi Jerika, I love the channel so much. I have learned so much here. I would like to see more soap making videos. Yes, there are lots of those out there. I still like yours. More of a request than a criticism: more soap videos. I did get a logo created from your Fiverr guy.

[@MariBlissEssentials]

Love this video!! I just ordered some Coco Soy Wax last week to try to help with the glass adhesion. Can't wait to try it.

[@henhousebathco]

I use coco soy and have pretty good luck with adhesion but I also don’t worry too much about that. The performance of that blend is fantastic.

[@karendenbok3206]

Best wax out there!

[@sherryzimmerman9220]

What struck me was the large Vinyl Print Name…..I Like It!

[@MarciesWhimsySoaps]

Nice! You should try it out on someone that has sensitivity to candle bases. For example, for me, so far soy bases are the only ones that dont make me feel sick and dizzy. I wonder how this would be. Thanks!

[@damikadevaliaobie6225]

Nice video! i'm interested in finding out all of the info on fragrance supplier and load. Did you test different types/sizes? what was the vessel diameter? i'm having an issue with finding the right combo. Thank you!!

[@kineshabrooks629]

What percentage of FO did you use?

[@jodymontez693]

You need to use a temp thermometer before you pour, do you measure your fragrance %. You should a two wicks for such a big candle?

[@lillyhilarious]

hey zims! iam new to your channel just starting out I really love your contents learning alot. I am about to get a kit to practice can you recommend 1?

[@neraknerak1]

I love your videos. Can u give budget candle recommendations?

[@GinaBrittCo]

thanks for this video : )

[@user-bn2yr8it2l]

love watching ur videos. thank you so much. hv a question, would coco apricot wax candles hv trouble melting in the summer when shipping? i got the wax for the 1st time n i find it's pretty soft and afraid it's going 2 melt while shipping in hot summer weather 😊

[@kathy4950]

Hello, you guys' great video. Kathy from Cali😎

[@kaseycotton8860]

What wicks work best with this wax

[@ItsJessie915]

I don’t have that issue with my coco apricot crème wax

[@alisafraser6937]

That's great!

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Thank you!

[@KristaWarcop]

When they fully sit after pouring do they frost on the top like shoot candles do? If so, how do you get rid of that?

[@boutchou3539]

Coco apricot wax doesnt frost, its a soy thing.

[@tatiyannag8554]

Im working with coco apricot creme wax & im having a hard time finding a good wick to match it

[@brosiasbrews]

Do you find it to be super soft? I used it for wax melts since it said it would be great for that and I can feel it melt under the heat of my finger tips

[@boutchou3539]

This coco apricot wax is not for wax melts at all, only container because its way too soft . C55 tart is for melts 🙂

[@damikadevaliaobie6225]

@brosiasbrews it's definitely not for wax melts!! you might like TW-30. i get mine from cali candle supply. you can use a 18% FL for super strong CT and HT. hope this helps!

[@akashamagick]

Thanks for the video , I like your bath tray , do you mind to share where you bought it ?

[@marygalvez5102]

I have the same one. Amazon

[@lisajohnson678]

Have you used this wax again? I don't see any candles with this wax on your site for sale? It seems a bit more pricey than the other soy waxes.

[@LexieLaurynHeiny]

Can you link your jars you use please?!
