Good video Jeff 4627 is all I use,and your right it is messy but the hot throw is fantastic

[@cbpapp]

I wear vinyl gloves and grab it by the handful, lol! I mix the 4627 with coco soy. Thank you for this video Jeff! Much love to you and your family!

[@meadowyck]

Excellent video and thank you for taking the time to share and save us newer candle makers so much time with trying to figure out without wasting so much in supplies. this is Janet M.

[@hoptoit5910]

Great idea using the pen casing to push the wicks to the bottom of the vessel. I have some tall but slender jam jars which I was thinking I could only use wood wicks with. Thanks for the tip!

Hi Stan, thanks for your time. I was wondering if you ever did more testing on these? I wanted to know before i purchased my 4627 and wick. I will be purchasing the vessels from 1617

[@darneshiaoliver9423]

How would you say 4627 compares to its counterpart 4630? Could you do a video comparing 4630 and 4627?

[@dude81869]

Hey Jeff if you try cinnamon in this please do a video cause I could not get it to bind at all . Great video as always

[@ef2967]

Try a few candles with 3-10% stearic acid added. You will find it much easier to wick. Only downside is the wax wont be translucent anymore. Also a 44 zinc wick works great in that wax. It mushrooms just like all the others, but the scent throw is a bit better, and because it has a zinc core I think its safer since the wick wont fall to the side.

[@allforbigocandleco.1324]

Whoohoo!

[@mizzstarr510]

Yay glad you’re back! I have a random Question, have you ever made soy candles with steric acid in them? I hear it make a soy candle burn longer .

I hope you see this Stanley. Ur channel is amazing! I was wondering where can I buy bulk soy wax for a really reasonable price. I’m just trying to make candles for my home but I’ve been going to hobby lobby, Michaels, etc and they are expensive for 16oz between 18 to 20$

[@kathymcneely1155]

Hi Jeff. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I have a question. Have you used 4733 wax before? I am getting back into candle making and I bought this wax to begin with. I’m having a problem. I don’t know if it’s the wax or the fragrance oil. I’m using Candle Science Very Vanilla. I’ve found that after the candle is finished, some fragrance oil is left under the wax. I added 10% oil. Now I have made candles using 8%. Don’t know the results yet. Do you have any insight?

[@rizzy6687]

Thanks Jeff' I'm using this wax for years off & on. It has fantastic HT no matter what FO is used.... But bc my customers are soy & coconut lovers. I don't use it as much. Great video boss😃😁

How do customers even know what wax they like. Before making candles I never thought anything about the wax a candle had. I’m just curious cause I’m thinking of trying only paraffin.

[@rizzy6687]

@@Md-pp8sk I didn't know anything about wax myself as a customer or candle maker.... when I started. Each time I purchased I tried different waxes. Soy wax was best for jar candles. Paraffin wax is best for pillars and wax MELTS- but there are softer paraffin waxes for jars but very hard imo to wick. Good luck!

[@Md-pp8sk]

@@rizzy6687 lol no I mean you said your customers prefer one over the other and I’m just wondering how they even know?

Hi Jeff! Great vid as always. Thanks! I recently switched from soy to paraffin 4630. Have you tried it? If so, what's your take on differences?

[@iammystrength]

Okay Jeff I’m going to suck it up and try this wax. JUST BECAUSE YOU SAID SO!!! Lol #jeffstandleyisthecandleKing lol

[@cierraleonard6176]

If you mix 4625 with this wax, what temp guidelines do you use as far as pouring and adding fragrance oil?

[@lucywirsching2892]

Do you still use the GB464 or are you now solely using this wax? Also in gb464 are you adding FO at the lower temp or at 180 degrees? Thanks

[@sheilaritz]

Jeff, how is the sooting with this wax? I heard coconut wax blend soots a lot. I was wondering if does soots too.

[@timesan7673]

Hi love your channel I want to make my mom a candle for mothers day am using 8oz jelly jars and using soy wax, my question is how much wax and fragrance I use just for one candle my dad will be helping me with it thank you so much for your time

Hi Jeff love your video I have a question can we mix this wax with soy thank you

[@caraisticnails7949]

newbie here, what do you do with the wax in the containers that don't pass the test? can you save the wax?

[@dimplesdaughtersco.4380]

What do you think about adding color to this wax. Does it change how much fragrance you would use or the way the candle will burn?

[@susanhill9381]

Hi Jeff, we in Australia use grams. How would I measure the wax weight for my new vessel using water method and grams instead of ounces. I would greatly appreciate your reply. Sue

[@mizzstarr510]

Please post any update on this! I would love to see!

Wow wow in this video here I wish KZbin had a slow motion. But it’s ok I can go back 100 times to see some parts again.

[@betheboss.online]

Hi Jeff, thanks for video. What does the .85 represent in your calculation as I want to convert to metric. And because this paraffin is so soft, to harden a little can I mix with soy and if so what ratio would you recommend? Thanks

[@emmamaldonado5361]

HI STANDLEY LOVE UR CHANNEL STANDLEY I MADE A 8OZ JAR 23MM PARAFIN WAX CW6 FLAME IS TOO HIGH AND I ALSO HAVE A LOT OF WAX MELT DO I WICK DOWN TOO ?

Looks like you have a green vessel but there is no green shown on 16 17 website. Is that actually the blue vessel that shows green???

[@Shelley47]

Question what did you calculate to get .85

[@RoseNegrete]

Jeff your video's are always great. Is there a hardener additive that can be added like the Yankee Candles?

[@StandleyHandcrafted]

You can add a little 4625 and it would harden up this wax quite a bit.

[@hUneysbee]

What are your thoughts of soy wax 444? Do you have a video on this already?

[@eniyabradford8092]

I have the exact same size vessel but I’m using 6006 and I can’t find the perfect wick I notice the dipping with most wicks. I’m considering switching wax because I love this size vessel. What wick would you recommend for this container but with 6006?

[@mrwonderful2081]

IGI 6006 is notoriously difficult to wick, especially in smaller vessels. A wick that seems to small after you light it can often be to big once it gets to the middle of the vessel. It’s a great wax but it requires a lot more testing to get right.

[@copenhagenwintergreen5441]

Put the wax in a small tote out of the bag and keep an ice cream scooper in the tote with the wax. So easy when I grab my tote take the lid off and scoop. Thank me later

[@SelfCenteredGG101]

Wat temperature did u pour at????!?!?

[@ThinkingVicky]

Hi Jeff! Thank you again for the great video :) I have 25lb of the 4627 coming in, and I have never worked with it before. I love working with paraffin for the hot throw. For my particular vessel which is 3 1/8", would you happen to have any recommendations for what I could use to double wick my container? Thank you again and I would love to see follow up videos on the 4627! :)

Try the LX16 or the CD12

LX16 or CD 12 to double wick??

[@ThinkingVicky]

@@quincyj6509 yes afterwards I realized that somehow he may have misunderstood me. Those wicks would be way too large to double wick my container. It would explode lol.

I cure my candle no longer than 4-5 days and 4627 has a real nice hot throw.

[@chazzmancaldwell9728]

Still a little confused about the temperatures to work with with this wax. I am looking at your older video and comparing the two. Should I use temps in this video?

[@StandleyHandcrafted]

Which video are you referring to?

[@StandleyHandcrafted]

The older video was using the low temp method and the higher temps are much easier to get nice blending with. Manufacturers suggested temps are around 180-170 for heating and adding oils.

[@inklabdesigns]

@@StandleyHandcrafted Just to be clear, you no longer recommend the low temperature pouring?

[@StandleyHandcrafted]

@@inklabdesigns I love the low temp method but I usually stick to pouring hot for efficiency. I can pour and keep moving on to more candles. Pouring cooler with 6006 can help with glass adhesion and sinkholes but I would rather pour hot, keep moving and deal with sink holes after.

[@donmichaelscandleco.7612]

Have you encountered a problem with soot? In my testing stage with IGI 6006 I was testing so many candles that my walls are covered in black soot. In fact even once I found the perfect wick and burn too many candles I would have soot building up over walls and cabinets am I the only one?

[@StandleyHandcrafted]

It's more likely due to a wick that's too large or too much oil. I use 6006 with HTP wicks and have no soot at all.

[@donmichaelscandleco.7612]

@@StandleyHandcrafted wow that's crazy. I'm using eco 2 in jelly jars, and eco 4 in status jars with a 10 percent fragrance load. Maybe it's to much oil like you were saying, I didn't really consider that thank you:)

Don't know if you'll get this Jeff but in a previous video of this product you added FO at a lower level of temperature and poured lower. Did you notice a big difference in the candles?

I do that a lot with soy 464 so the oil doesn’t burn off as much. It helps a little bit I go back forth on if it’s worth the wait. Lol

[@eml5086]

Hello Jeff - I have a question concerning the 4627 Wax. You did a video a couple of years ago in which you cooled the wax to 130 degrees, then added the fragrance oil. You said it was to prevent the fragrance from burning off. In this video (same wax) you say to add the oil around 180 or so. Has the wax changed? Why 130 then and 180 now? Thank you.
