[@leilauniwright5620]

How about I watch 2030 beginner videos this was the most informative. Everything from calculations even to caring time thank you very much.

[@sandysimpler5147]

The absolute best video I have seen for beginners! Easy to understand and great explanations. Thank you.

[@martinablair559]

The easiest to understand video I’ve seen so far. I’m new to this and the other videos felt like an algebra lesson. Thank you

[@StandleyHandcrafted]

Thank you! Glad the videos helped out. 🙂

[@brighteyes3445]

I agree. Most You Tubers don't want to tell you everything step by step.

[@paulineowens4937]

You’re so right about the algebra lesson!!!!! So glad I didn’t have to take that class while watching this video!!!!

[@belindamarie3222]

I totally agree with you! 😊

[@kookiemama2008]

I agree 👍🏽👌🏽

[@leahbamxo]

[@altersibanda1976]

Thank you I will do it.

[@NishaNi.23]

OMGGGGG finally someone showed the wick cutting process. I know it seems simple but I was struggling. Thank you! I’ve been doing so much research but had yet to see anyone trimming their wicks.

[@Lisaadkins03]

So glad I watched this.

[@suekapala495]

Thank you so much for the awesome instructions of candle making!!!!!! You could not of made it any easier!!!!! I appreciate all of the tips and tricks!

[@_ladiosanegra]

perfection💖💖💖 im speechless. from the barrel of the bic pen to help with placement, to holding something next to a liquid when it comes out to avoid it spilling on the sides youve helped an OCD woman like me through all the things that frustrated me in my candle batch this evening. We dont deserve you. 💖💖💖 thank you so much

[@nickbutler7935]

Thanks Jeff my sanity is saved. GW464 was all I could bet hold of ( everyone and his cat has taken up candle making during lockdown ). I have encountered every pitfall you have described.

[@PortableKonfidence]

Okayyyy good to know! Thanks for the fragrance caculation and wick pen trick!!

[@thecraftshack1990]

Thank you your video was great. Right to the point! I was intimated with other video's I've watched. I definitely will be making candles in a teacup for a Mother's Day event. Thanks to you.

[@Yarnoverlefty]

OMG! The best video for beginners! I'm new to this, and have been researching forever...but this, this video!!! Yes!!!! Thank you!

[@stephaniemoorehand7554]

Another great video!!! I just switched over to 464 and was in need of a reminder to chill on expecting perfect looking candles everytime. Thank you!

[@ms_taree7335]

The pen trick is genius !

[@ts7901]

Just winged my first 6oz 464 wax candle and it turned out pretty good. Next time I'll try to get more precise with the temperatures and percentages to get to that next level! Thanks.

[@boopthesnoot1955]

This is very similar to golden wax 494 which is for wax melts - fab Thankyou for this simple yet effective video! My MIL gifted me some candle wax and with my own knowledge I think it’s either 444 or 464 😂 smells very much like soy 😂 Now wicks is where I’m confused! I’ll be deffo using the candle science website - Thankyou from the U.K.

[@barbaratodmann6354]

Thank You so much, you made it do simple when it came to figuring out how much of the fragrance you need. I your videos

[@kalunga2126]

Thank you so much for this video. I started out making candles about 2 years ago from a candle kit I brought from Amazon. The kit was easy to follow and the instructions manual came with color pics. I now have stopped making candles for a while now because of fragrance not really releasing, the wick moving from the center when I poured the hot wax and the holes and uneven wax with the finished product. The manual never explained half of what you just said. I am actually excited again to make candle again. Thank you for your insight, tips, and knowledge; I appreciate you 🙏.

[@thilinimunasinghe795]

Great video. Can you remove the wick tab when the candle is done and reuse the jar?

[@georgianabennett2322]

Very good info 👈👌

[@WineGlassCandles]

Bro., I gotta give you your props! The gasket maker suggestion is off the charts! I will definitely use it! THANKS! As a chef, I've accumulated cases of glasses that I need to get rid of and candles are the best way to do it and make a profit in the process. Thanks!

[@pegblack3707]

Thank you for doing this video on the 444. I was literally going to ask you to do one since it's hard to find any info on a 444 wax, which is what I started with. I use 12% FO, but have wondered if dropping it would still give me the crazy HT I get. I'll be trying the 10% now. Thank you!

[@jasmineonye2957]

If you don’t life what wicks do you use?

[@Level-qp8sz]

Yeahhhhh!! Thank you for sharing this wonderful information. It was helpful!!

What color dye do you use .. I love the fact you do t have to use much to get such beautiful pastel colors

[@morganmorse3969]

I’m so glad I came across your videos! I use 464 soy wax, I’m just starting and my issue is figuring out how much wax to use to fill a certain amount of jars. And the correct wick size.

[@AngelHowahkan]

On adding up your wax say u have 4 8ounce candle jars you take 4 for the amount of jars times it by the amount of ounce each jar holds which is 8 and divide by 20 that gives u the amount of wax. Hope that helps.

[@MsMusic902]

There’s a app for that called candle calculator. It tells you how much wax you need based on the water weight. It really helps cause it gives you an exact amount

[@Levithecreator]

Hi Jeff, what did you find in testing those 6 wicks? Did some outperform others? Curious to know which had the best HT. Thanks - you're amazing!!

[@kenpantin]

Well done!

[@analuciafrasinelli5321]

Hi! What is best? to pour the FO at 180 or 110 degrees?

[@jopeskett144]

Explained everything so simply thank you

[@nakokonya250]

Thank you for this! I think I've been adding my fragrance and pouring my wax at too low of temperatures.🤦‍♀️ I will be trying your way, this weekend. 🤗

[@colliegirl5676]

I want to use woodwicks so which wax would be best to use these and what jar size is best for woodwicks? Thank you for your videos! 😊

[@tallastreasures]

Such great tips. What temp did you put your heat gun on?

[@Lysrivas11]

hi thank you! amazing video! do u use stearic acid to make them harder? this 444 works for candles without any container?

[@conniecarroll9398]

Hi, just wanted to thank you for your videos. I want to start my own business of making candles. Yes I love candles, spend way to much on the, I never thought of making them low and be hold I find your videos and I am pumped to start the business. I will be investing in the next month and do this, I will be buying my first kit this weekend to attempt to make candles for my home, if this works I am going to do a business. Thank you so much for the awesome videos showing me this can work

[@TheMazeFeels]

Grateful for this. Very informative!

[@victoria6146]

What is a safe wait time for the gasket glue to dry before pouring? Thanks for sharing all your valuable insights!

[@stephanienguyen38]

Thank you for your video! It helps me alot

[@PreetiKapoor-o8g]

If your cold throw is good but hot throw is bad, how do you fix it? I am using approx 10% fragrance oil with the soy wax. Used both 444 and 464. Also will this wax work for free standing pillar candles or will I need to add something to them like coconut oil or paraffin

[@llm4132]

You used a lot of different wicks, but noticed ECO was not one of them. That’s what I’ve used for years but thinking about switching perhaps to CD wicks. Hoping for better hot throw. Thanks for this video.

[@isabelalvarez-vigodsky303]

hi . im just starting . im wondering what if u only used essential oils instead of fragrance. My understanding is that essential oils are used in a lower rate.pls correct me if im wrong

[@FeliciasJourney27]

Thank you for this video. I just recently started making soy candles again and switched to 464, i burned the next day and had zero scent. I have some curing now and i will try them after that to see where to go from here. If they dont give me the ht i want i may be switching to the parasoy blend you love.

[@melindat5711]

Your videos are SO appreciated!! I haven't been making candles due to health issues but I'm really hoping I can get started once again. My main issue is wicking. I got so frustrated. Always had good hot throw but the wicks . . . Tarts are great though. I'm not giving up!! 😑

[@sharonp1427]

Love this video!

[@ulyanakotska9562]

Helpful video as always! Wanted to ask why GW soy 464/444 is much more popular compared to GW soy 415, are there significant pros for container candles with 464/444?

[@CarlaCatWhat]

I use 415 and I’m also really wondering the difference.

[@ulyanakotska9562]

@@CarlaCatWhat ok so I’ve tried out the 464 and it is significantly easier to work with! 415 is incredibly fussy and you almost always need a heat gun for smooth tops ( if anyone’s had a different experience plz let me know that the secret is) also the 444 I tried out today and it’s my favourite one of them all now, I made 12 candles w different fragrances and all were smooth tops!!

[@joannatyminska5343]

Thank you for this video. I am still learning....

[@vanessamoreno8496]

You mentioned in a previous video pouring at a lower temperature 110-115 to eliminate fragrance oil burning off, I noticed you didn’t do it in this video. Does that not matter anymore?

[@aarondipa]

I was going to ask the same thing, Vanessa... I’m interested to know as well, Jeff 🙂

[@royalneal3265]

If The pouring temp is to high is can cause dimples on the top of your candle. There is a different temp to when it is time to add oil so it doesn't burn off.

[@ingridstoleru96]

I am also interested. I ve seen also in the book that the FO can be added anywhere starting from 82 degrees Celsius. However, what is the optimal temperature so that it blends properly with the wax and the FO does not burn off?

[@jacquelineyarbrough2826]

Awesome..right on-time video. As for the formula with adding fragrance, how is the.08 factored?

[@lisamcconnell9657]

Which is the better wax for hot throw and how easy is it to wick any suggestions

[@StandleyHandcrafted]

I always recommend 6006 for its ease of use and great hot throw.

[@lisamcconnell9657]

@@StandleyHandcrafted oh ok thank u. Is 6006 hard to wick? I thought in one of u and wades video is was mentioned that It's tricky to wick

[@StandleyHandcrafted]

@@lisamcconnell9657 6006 is easier to Wick than most because a lot of wicks will work in it in certain weeks will work better. Where is something like soy? There are only a few weeks that work really well in it and some wicks can do absolutely nothing.

[@lisamcconnell9657]

@@StandleyHandcrafted oh ok. Ty for the advice I definitely appreciate it. I watch you and wade all the time. I just hope one day I'm just as successful.

Say if I made a candle with with color and fragrance but the wick size was not the right wick for that jar can I melt and retest or with it mess up the CT/HT?

Yes you can. :)

giw hot was your heat gun pls??

Hi Jeff, thank you for a very good video , I always watch & subscribe all of your demos …. My concern is Im here in Toronto Canada, the wax that I am using is a mix wax, from my supplier, the name of the mixture is freedom & Millenium , which is already a mix wax, I am just wondering if which is better to use , I have couple of boxes of that mixed wax…my question is shall I buy another box of 444 & 464 ? Can I mix them w my mixed candle wax ? Thank you …

Did u use a thermometer? Thanks
