Using candle dye is off brand for me right now, but every time I see your videos and candles I’m tempted to figure out how to incorporate color dye…it looks so fun and beautiful 😆😍!

Awesome video. I am just getting into candle-making. My sister bought a new house and I thought it would be lovely to send her some candles. I also thought the process would be as simple as melting wax, adding fragrance and color but have discovered that there’s a whole science behind making the perfect candle. A lot more goes into it than I had originally thought. Your videos have been tremendously helpful in learning about this process so thank you for all the knowledge. Your videos are so helpful.

I would guess it is "Coconut Soleil" pronounced "So- lay". I'd assume it is French for sun. So "Coconut Sun". You pronounced it right at the end! :) This is similar to how I test my fragrances too. I usually don't like the lack of cold throw and hot throw sometimes, but I do think it might be I have "candle nose" where nothing smells strong at all because I'm so used to smelling it out of the bottle or when I'm melting a bunch of wax. Very informative video on the testing process!

Yah it is. I use didn't recognize it at first and then had fun with it. Lol

It was awesome to hear your thought on the new CS scents! Im sure a lot of us are testing right now and hearing someone's feedback on the scents is good to know. Our scale of favorites may be a tad different though...at least right now. Apricot and Eucalyptus are at the top but I'm still testing and want to try a wick up on a few.

[@BlackTieBarn]

Yes... thats the thing about the reviews on scents, we all like different stuff. I love the smell of apricot eucalyptus too. I just already have too many similar eucyptus ones and the apricot is very similar to most my peachy ones

Hi! I am new to your channel and got super excited to make candles!! I was wondering, can you also mix fragrance oils together or is it better to find 1 bottle with a scent that you like. Or mix a pure vanilla with a pure something else to combine and make a scent by yourself? And if that is possible, does it has to be from the same brand? Kind regards, Eveline from the Netherlands :)

Sure you can mix them! People do it all the time.

[@villagranvicent]

One year later, but I would like to ask what do you do with the melting pot between samples to avoid cross-scent from one fragrance to the other?

[@ellefarrelly-xg3xd]

Also - are you using the same spoon to stir each fragrance? If so do you clean it between batches to stop the scent from cross contaminating? Love your channel btw 😊

[@bogdanbot]

Is it ok to make candles that are only half full when testing the wick/wax blend/fragrance oil ? I have to test many many options and my candles are quite large, so I would like to avoid using so much "material". Thanks!

[@BlackTieBarn]

Yep

[@marcydiamond1]

That video you were doing where you did the 500 candles, you did some orders too you said that came in. Do those have to sit for 2 weeks before u can send out or do you just tell your customer they need to wait to burn it for two weeks

[@marcydiamond1]

Basically, I’m wondering when you have an order that comes in and you fulfill it, Do you have to wait to send it out for two weeks

[@BlackTieBarn]

No. Only certain wicks really need that long. But even if using a wax like that, by the time you make, it sits in your possession for a couple days, then the days it takes to ship. That's like a week already

[@scottward7415]

Is that a good wax for melts and how would it be in shipping and have a good hardness and snap

What type of wax is best to use and wick ?

[@BlackTieBarn]

Hey Mari. There really isn't a best wax... or wick. It all depends what you are looking for and care the most about. I'm about to post s video next week on several of my favorites though if you want to check out. But it really depends on what factors matter most to you.. :)

How do you make BLACK wax?

[@delishawilliams6857]

So Wade I have a question..why can I smell my candles in the bathroom but not that much in my living room which it's not super big. I'm like maybe I should sell them as bathroom candles

[@delishawilliams6857]

I should add if I leave the bathroom door open I still can smell it .maybe I'm nose blind to my candles in the living room.

[@BlackTieBarn]

Could be just the air flow in the living room. Happens to me too. More vents means more air circulation through ventilation and can easily affect how much lingers in the room

[@megane11222]

Also how does one get the fragrance smell out of the pouring pitcher? Mine still smells like the FO I used a few weeks ago. Anyone? All help is *greatly* appreciated!!!!!

Rubbing alcohol with kitchen roll

[@megane11222]

@@LD-nb4hr thank you very much. Is it normal for the scent to stay in the container so strongly? I think I overdosed it in FO.😕 I've seen other people say 'I just wiped it out with a paper towel' but my pitcher...and whole kitchen smelled of lavender sage for a solid week. 😂 Thank you very much for your help!!

[@BlackTieBarn]

Rubbing alcohol or just blast real good with heat gun and wipre it down

[@sherit8594]

Psst.... what is the wick that you used for this experiment?

[@BlackTieBarn]

Mostly premier 725 and cdn 2 I believe

[@sherit8594]

@@BlackTieBarn Thank you 😊 I watched it twice and tried to locate it in the links to avail. Appreciate the tests and your opinions 👍💜

Great. Ty!

This was a great video and these really help add interest on what to purchase. Which I don't need anymore bottles, but hey... that's what its about LOL I would love a live! Maybe you could announce it a day or two ahead of time so we can block the time out. A Q&A would be fun also (for us, maybe not you hahaha). I would like to know how you keep track of your color combos, fragrance load on each, wax that you used for that batch etc. Thanks for all the work you do to share with us.

[@BlackTieBarn]

I definitely will!

[@karinakarina4462]

What kind of wax do you use, soy wax or paraffin? thank you

[@BlackTieBarn]

I use them all. I use different ones for different accounts and also for educational purposes on this channel. :)

[@fadmap9676]

What wax do u use?

[@BlackTieBarn]

For these I used problend 600. I talk about it in the video and why I chose it specifically

[@venomkennels4517]

How many oz per jar did u put for fragrance?

[@BlackTieBarn]

I'll have to check. It was mentioned at one part of the video. But somewhere around 7oz wax and .6oz of FO I think

[@lovebeefyoutube]

Anybody have a wax recommendation for newbies like myself? I always here 464 is hard for HT but I also dont want to use any wax with paraffin and how long do you let yours cure..

[@BlackTieBarn]

The one in this video is a good choice.

[@val-bm3so]

Beeswax

[@sassynyc7327]

Beeswax can be a bit tricky a wax for a beginner. I find it robs fragrance no matter what I do. Also, it’s hard to clean up if you spill. And I agree with Wade, PB 600 a good wax to try. Performs very well-soy/paraffin blend.

[@val-bm3so]

@@sassynyc7327 LoVe Beef does not want to use paraffin. I find you have to cure Beeswax 4 weeks or more to smell FO. Also use a separate pot for beeswax. Just a thought ! The smell of the Beeswax alone is Heavenly PeAcE

[@slimsexi66]

Where can I buy your candles

[@BlackTieBarn]

Normally at blacktiebarn.com. but I have it closed temporarily while I get relocated

[@slimsexi66]

Ok, I was looking on line but I couldn’t find anything. Thanks

[@hi-cblanco7913]

I bought moonflower and alpine balsam because you liked both scents... Both makes me wanna throw up😂😂😂...

[@BlackTieBarn]

Lol really? To each their own. Haha. Yah fragrance opinions are tough because we all like different ones. I love both of those. Lol

[@hi-cblanco7913]

@@BlackTieBarn changed my mind- alpine balsam is amazing while burning. 😊

[@BlackTieBarn]

@@hi-cblanco7913 :) Awesome!
