The Alex Method for making soy candles. Use this method for perfect soy candles every time!!
The concept is pretty simple, we're gonna heat our wax low and slow making sure to never let the wax reach above 150-degrees. It's going to take a lot of patience and a lot of stirring and breaking up wax clumps as it melts.
Once we get to 150-degrees, pull your wax from the heat - add your dye and fragrance oil. Mix really well and wait.
Let your wax cool to 100-degrees and then you are ready to pour!

[@davidramirez2782]

your list by state on the description is absolutly GOATED, THANK YOU

[@davidlane9373]

The idea is NOT to allow the fragrance to evaporate. The fragrance should have been added around 110 degrees. This keeps it from burning off. All pouring it at 100 deg does is allow the candle to set quicker, which keeps the fragrance from escaping. If the fragrance is sitting in the mix while it's waiting to cool, it will evaporate, thus giving the candle less of a throw.

[@MimiBondi]

This is confusing as most people say fragrance can't bond properly unless it's mixed into the wax hotter, around 170-180 or so?! I'm using C3

[@Americannomad179]

Tim. I use this same method. I use one of the presto pots and keep the temperature dial between the W and the A and I'm able to maintain that temp all day. It works great. :)

[@BrendaBodwin]

Wow! That's even cooler than my test batch yesterday. I didn't go over 150° anyway. I added my color at 150° but I didn't add my fragrance until it was at 120° (a temp I'm aware from soap making to keep the scent strong and long lasting) stirred it in well, then poured at 120°. 100°. Uhhgg, I'm so not a candle maker. I'm likely to end up with chuncky candles. Lol

[@happygoto]

You think youre having a time with it. I was just talking while making my second batch of candles (I’m also a soap maker). So I tell my daughter that I’d be done soon had to wait till my wax came to trace so I could pour 😂. Definitely not what I meant lol. I need to change gears here.

Thanks for all you do!

[@daphneraine4820]

Wow, this is awesome! I just found your channel, and I have to say you have explained things the best. I am a college student, so money is tight. This Christmas I wanted to be able to make candles for members of my family as gifts. I find that my biggest issue has been with temperature and scent. I've only made candles twice so i'm still VERY new at it. I'm not sure if it was the temperature at which I added my scent or just a bad scent itself, but I found no matter how much I added, when the candle was finished the candle had no scent when it burned. This might have to do with the flash point of the candle, but I just ordered some new scents online and the next time I make candles i'm going to try this method out!

[@TimberRidgeGifts]

Thanks for watching!

[@eml5086]

So, how do they smell? Is there a curing time? How's the hot throw / cold throw?

[@traceyhovemeyer671]

Thank you for posting, I though the Alex method was to pour immediately after you add the color and FO (after stirring), Im so glad you cleared that up for me. I will try this method. Currently I heat to about 185 add FO at 170- 180 and pour at 150. I use 444.

[@dr.w.octaviamalveauxdent1315]

This video has been around a bit, but perhaps you will get my comment. First totally enjoyed your sharing. Thank you. I have listened at least twice but missed the wick size that you used. Since the primary purpose of low temp is to develop and preserve both a CT and Ht, the question that continues to come to my mind about the low temp method is if the target temp is 150 or below and pour at 100; why not stay below 130 and add fragrance at 110; then pour at 100? will this cause problems? And finally, does the Alex Method work with all soy wax?

It will work just fine without dye. A lot of people keep their candles white, either to avoid the frustrations associated with colored candles, or as a customer preference - some people just like the classic look of a white candle.

[@kholstein64]

Can you use this.method with Joy wax or does it even matter.

[@gucci690]

Hi Tim. Thank you for this video. I tried it!!It works beautifully and I get perfect smooth candles. I’m surprised this isn’t more widespread as - yes it takes more patience - but I have overall satisfaction EVERY TIME. I’ve used a variety of my Soy waxed including C3 and All seasons S16. I live in the U.K. I’ve also been trying Kerawax 4105 at lowered pouring temperatures. This is a rapeseed and paraffin blend. The finish is usually a very smooth one. , I find this method very effective when using wooden wicks too, which are prone to sink holes. Again. Lower pouring temperatures have worked amazingly. Thank you and please keep helping us learners. I love your tutorials

[@leslieswan903]

Honey Girl Thank you so much for another great, helpful video! Would you use the Alex method with Millennium Wax? Does this method improve scent throw?

[@TimberRidgeGifts]

I have use it with Millennium wax. It doesn't do anything to increase or decrease the scent throws, It's more about solving issues such as frosting and sink holes.

[@CandleGenius]

It DOES work with Millennium Wax. Millennium is built to pull away from the sidewall of your glass, but it holds color REALLY WELL. Fragrance at 10% and pour in the 112 F range and you'll have perfect candles every time!

[@kaiOutLoud]

Hi Tim. I’m planning to order a few pounds of wax from American organics but I have a bunch of sense it from Kendall science. Would those two fuse well?

[@TimberRidgeGifts]

Yes, different supplies from different companies will work together just fine. Chances are most supplies get their wax from the same companies, AAK (Golden Brands) and IGI. And most of the chemical bases for the fragrances come from the same supplier, BASF.

[@tiptaptoeasmr2645]

Would you say this improved the hot and cold throw? Also I have read that in order for the scent to bond properly to the wax it needs to be 185 degrees Fahrenheit. Have you had any trouble with it bonding at a lower temperature? Thanks

[@TimberRidgeGifts]

This method is used mainly to correct appearance issues like frosting and smooth tops. Also, I would disagree with someone that says the wax needs to be that hot for the wax and the F/O to "bind". They are both oils, in my opinion, as long as they are in liquid form, they will properly mix together.

[@tiptaptoeasmr2645]

Tim, I absolutely love this method but my top around the wick makes a circle like it wants to cave but it doesn't. Is it the wick (Eco 10)?

[@TimberRidgeGifts]

Hmm, the first thing I would look at would be the type of wick bar that you are using. If the wick is held too tight, it can cause sinkholes around the wick. Try leaving your wicks just a tiny bit more loose. As the wax cools it contracts and expands slightly. The wick will need ot have a tiny bit of give to it to be able to move with the wax.

My candles keep burning only in the middle causing my candle to keep going out. How can I fix that?

[@ThePreciousOne88]

It’s probably your wick size, causing the candle to tunnel. Or the wick can be clogged. I believe he taught me that 😂

Problem with my candles is they look great the first day or two after i pour them , then after 4, 5 or 6 days the glass adhesion is terrible...

[@cbpapp]

swiftbear that is my problem as well! Did you ever determine the solution? I would truly appreciate your reply. Thank you and many blessings!

[@danielletompkins4823]

[@Hyeclassed]

[@bergerheather2008]

I tried this with 444 wax...fail. one got frosting on the top, the green was discolored about 3 hrs later. And the other one got small air holes..
