[@shiningstarsoup]

Hi Erica, thank you for your videos - you have a fan from Alberta, Canada!

[@heathermoreland6015]

Congratulations on your pregnancy, it’s really very exciting. 😊

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

Thank you!! ☺️

[@princesscyril]

Pls do you have a video on how you made the calculation for a bulk order

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

You just have to find how much fragrance oil and how much wax you need for one candle, and then multiply those numbers by how many candles you want to make ☺️ Example: 10 grams of FO 200 grams of WAX If you want to make 5 candles: 10 x 5 = 50 grams of FO 200 x 5 = 1000 grams of wax

[@teresabelshaw6694]

congratulations erica ❤❤❤❤❤

[@joniperiu8308]

Hello Erica and baby. I love CS fragrances and Midwest. Most of my fragrances come from both…Good luck with your new line.

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

Thank you! ❤️

[@Gigi.973]

Congrats on your new baby ❤❤❤

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

Thank you! ☺️

[@runningwaters3269]

What is your favorite wax to work with? Thankfully i have a supplier close to home but when it comes to candle jars im a bit nervous as there isnt really anything. Im in the research phase with the goal to start testing by christmas. I have been watching your videos for awhile and i love how your handcrafted candles look. I have learned so much already!

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

I personally use soy 10 wax! ❤️

[@gogogirl3239]

Yes I did look too

[@lindaadams5124]

aww your baby bump so cute made me tear up

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

Awwww 🥹🥰

[@claudettekeane853]

Really enjoy this. Where can I get the measuring device for the containers to show where to stop pouring?

[@TrOgaN_]

I'm very surprised you have not had more issues with the clear jars. I have spent nearly a month working through issues such as: Wax Shrinkage, Discoloration and other burning issues.

[@stephaniecharles7211]

Can you give details on the measuring device you used to measure how much to pour in the jars?

[@candacebruno7980]

Congrats on the pregnancy! I use soy 10 wax myself but I don't mix it with beeswax do you mind me asking what does that do for the candle mixing the two? and do you use a lot of it? Or is it just like 50/50

[@VaidosEua]

I’m thinking the same. I’m having soy wax and palm wax

[@raemcginnis3118]

the beeswax makes the meltpoint higher, and it's a super small percentage.

[@jessicapolins5195]

Hi Erica! Question - how do you avoid frosting and wet spots in your candle jars? Or do you not care? Thanks!!

[@brookedallimore7101]

When adding beeswax do you do this before or after pouring in the fragrance oil?

[@joannemiller5986]

Hi, I'm new at making candles. I'm just at the testing phase. I got a 8.5 oz 3" diameter clear jar straight sided libbey vessels from CS and used a eco 14 as they recommend for this jar size. I noticed that it leaves a black mark after burning for a while. Did you experience this? How to avoid it? The melt pool is good, the size of the flame is good so I don't know...Appreciate your opinion🙏

[@cottingcandles1645]

Just a question that went through my mind: where are you putting the baby? Are you planning on moving when he/she gets bigger or move the candle studio to an outside location? Any plans?

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

We changed up the apartment so it’s basically a studio + candle studio (bedroom) Baby won’t be In the candle room at all. The ultimate goal is to either get a house with an extra room/garage space for production or to find a small warehouse to move the studio into :)

[@runningwaters3269]

Are you blending the scents with wax around 179 degrees? Does it vary on the wax or scents that you are using? Sorry i have so many questions!

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

No worries! Ask away! I like to blend the FO into the wax at a minimum of 185 degrees Fahrenheit, that way the wax is able to completely bind with the fragrance!

[@lynnbetournay8229]

Hi I can’t find the custom wicker listed and the wick holders in the links for supplies. Could you tell me where to get both of those please? They look like lifesavers! Also, I love your videos. Thank you!!

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

Hi! Yes they are from this Etsy shop! Etsy.com/shop/carpelink Sometimes he briefly closes his shop though to catch up on orders because he gets a lot of them!

[@BrookeClark]

Do you clean the pitcher before each different scent or no?

[@thefatguywithaglock]

Would love to know where you purchased your glass candle containers your using in this video.

[@LindaMoganOsborne-dm9cc]

Congratulations 👣

[@sue5029]

Question: Hi Erica, I work with essential oils and was wondering which series style mask you're using that's hanging on the wall with the apron?

[@glowingradiance4810]

Sorry about that! I just added it as a link in my pinned comment too! ❤️

[@eileenoconnor1768]

Very nice video, nice to see you doing well. If you take time off I hope you let us know. I have so many samples from CS I hope I have some of the scents. I collect and then delay making. But you inspire to back on the horse and make candles. I have a question, could you at some point show how you do your filming. That would be a help. May be a photo. Please and thank you for your help. Be well and rest up for the little one.🌹 You look great, thanks for sharing.

Espresso & Lemon Cello are two I also chose in my new line 😍 good choices!! 🩵

[@zannejordaan9054]

Hello, enjoying your video's thank you. How do you determine the amount of fragrance oil you need to add to the wax?

[@Delilahirene]

What are some places to order bulk containers for your candles?

[@allthingstyria]

The belly is bellying 😢❤

[@emmaluciaev1938]

Thank you ! Can I ask if do you need to clean the pancake pouring device in between each scent?

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

No just a quick hit with a heat gun and wipe down with a paper towel if the two scents are very different. If the scents are similar i usually don't even wipe it, there's never any cross contamination between scents because it's just a small amount of residue leftover!

[@yeshuahtruthlightlifelove5900]

Melanie, where did you get the wax measuring tool from ?

[@jenniferperry7588]

Another awesome job with this video, Question? are you worry about wet spot?? I love glass vessel as well, but I do not like the wet spot :(

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

I don’t worry about wet spots because most of the time they are purely cosmetic :) temperature changes can cause wet spots that are out of our control and can even happen during the shipping process. If you go into any candle store I guarantee you will see wet spots on those candles- customers don’t even notice it! I know I didn’t before I was a maker

[@jenniferperry7588]

That is so true due to the fact that before I started my journey making candles, I didn't care either so I may have to keep the glass vessel in mind. Thank again for all that you do - Awesome job and congrats on the new addition.@@MemoryBoxCandleCo

[@kttysclg]

Hello Erica, I am wondering if the scented candles and room spray does expire?

I love all of your video tutorials! They're always super helpful & informative. 🩷😊 (You look fantastic, btw! Congrats again to you, hubby, & new baby!)

[@melbel7891]

Do you clean the piston device inbetween different scents?

[@kate3717]

Can you link the device you used to determine fill line please?

[@ananya9135]

Hi there, thanks for the video . I am super new to candle making and this might be a stupid question but would love your advise. Let’s say I am making 12 ounce candles , should I buy containers that are 14 ounce so there is some space left for the wick and top cover/cap or should I go for a 12 ounce container itself ? What do you do?

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

Hi! Not a stupid question at all. So it depends on the vessel/jar. If you want to sell a candle as a 12 oz candle it needs to have a net weight of 12 oz. So whether that’s a 14 fl oz, 15 fl oz or 16 fl oz jar that can hold 12 oz of wax, it doesn’t matter :) all that matters is that net weight! But you’re correct that you will need to find a vessel that has a larger fl oz capacity so that it has enough room to fit the candle wax + room for the wick. Hope that makes sense!

[@sassypantspolish1334]

Do you have the link to that measuring device?

[@kate3717]

Can you link your wick setting tools please?

Hi erica, I have a issue. I do a ton of testing on my vessels that I want to use going forward for all candles, however, once I get the testing completed and want to start selling the manufacturer, will discontinue my vessel. Have you ran into this and what do you do in this situation? Is there a place I can order vessels just for myself that way I can ensure I never run out of stock?
