[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

Awww that’s so sweet of you! And thank you so much ☺️

[@shiningstarsoup]

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

[@claubeni1]

Hi Erica thank you so much for your video!! When letting the candles rest for 72 hours does the room where you let them cure, has to be at room temperature? Like if its winter should I put the heat at certain temperature? Or if its too hot

[@reginawallace2687]

I have express - so and sea salt and orchids and it amazing. You look fabulous mama Erica ❤

[@loriepearman7184]

I'm lucky Candle Science is only an hours drive from me in Durham NC. I love their scents

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

[@brookedallimore7101]

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

[@deborahevors4850]

I’m just starting and I’m so excited to learn from you😊

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

Awww well welcome!! ☺️

[@geestube2023]

Erica you and baby are so cute 🥰! That Espresso scent is amazing it is also my favorite scent from Midwest

[@heathermoreland6015]

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

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

Thank you!! ☺️

[@BrookeClark]

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

[@1idontwantausername]

Erica, you are so adorable pregnant🍼👨‍🍼

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

Aww thank you! ☺️

[@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🙏

[@claudettekeane853]

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

[@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?

[@Gigi.973]

Congrats on your new baby ❤❤❤

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

Thank you! ☺️

[@lindaadams5124]

aww your baby bump so cute made me tear up

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

[@sammiejayn]

Hey - Such an informative video! Could you let me know where you brought the candle jars from please? I've been trying to find one like it. Thank you :)

[@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!

[@teresabelshaw6694]

congratulations erica ❤❤❤❤❤

[@melbel7891]

Do you clean the piston device inbetween different scents?

[@KellyGarland-p3j]

Where did you purchase the heat tool from?

[@glowingradiance4810]

Hi! Thanks for your awesome video! What is the measuring device called that you put on the side of the vessel? Where'd you get it? Thanks a bunch!😊

[@jessicapolins5195]

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

[@bryttannyarnold214]

What is that measuring device called? Do you have a link for it?

[@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! ❤️

[@zannejordaan9054]

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

[@yeshuahtruthlightlifelove5900]

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

[@lechicbathboutique2673]

do you have a link for the measuring device for the level for pouring candle?

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

Yes it’s from this Etsy shop! www.etsy.com/shop/carpelink

[@kttysclg]

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

[@thereseandhoney]

Do you clean the funnel between fragrances ? Or do you use the same or a completely new one?

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

Heat gun and a paper towel :)

[@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! ❤️

[@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.

[@kaylacatpurrccino4979]

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

[@WarmEnchantment]

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

[@makissmith338]

Good Afternoon dear Erika i have a question for the 13.5 cali jards can i use eco 2 or eco 1 or should i used cd 2 can you pls let me know how these jards can be fill with 9oz thanks many blessings

[@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!

[@stephaniecharles7211]

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

[@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!

[@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]

@@MemoryBoxCandleCo Thank you so much

[@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 :)

[@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

[@marilynsanchez1753]

Where do you get your soy wax? I ordered some off Amazon and it has a VERY strong smell to it and makes me lightheaded 😞

[@Teeg233]

Candle Science have very good wax. I won't order from any where else.

[@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

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.

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?
