whats up Jeff he can you give me the difference you have seen regarding the IGI6046 and Coconut Apricot? thanks

[@elainecockrell7312]

Thank you Stanley you are a star. Very helpful.

[@salafiumm]

i love watching your videos not just because they are very informative but they usually have a reggae beat in the background. I'm from Barbados, living in Cleveland, and the reggae reminds me of home. This video is missing that beat...lol. Maybe you took a Caribbean vacation between 2019 and 2022...lol (that explains the change)

[@StandleyHandcrafted]

Lol thanks! I absolutely love reggae, been listening since I was like 13-14. 😁 I try to throw a good beat in every once in a while.

[@Gigiethechoublaklady]

Right on time. I needed that video because I wanted to switch from soy wax to coconut parafin blend. I am a new candle maker so this video is really helpful. You are a life saver. Thank you so much for your videos. Xoxo from Choublak candle 🌺

[@StandleyHandcrafted]

Maam Lèsthè Thank you!

[@karlalombard1303]

this was the reply from CandleScience regards to the ratio. Hi! While the manufacturers do not publicize the exact ratios of the wax, based on performance, we believe it to be a higher percentage of paraffin. I am in South Africa and trying to figure out the perfect wax to use. But thank you for you videos.

Do you prefer this coconut-Para blend wax over the 6006? also what wicks do you recommend with this wax? Have you tried it in clam melts?

[@larawagner4313]

Hi Jeff, 2 questions about this wax. 1) In your opinion is the HT the same or better than the HT you get from IGI6006? and 2) Is this wax good for layering? I like to make rainbow candles. Was wondering if the glass adhesion (you said it had a good glass adhesion) was better than what I get Fromm 6006's adhesion. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos and answer our questions. :)

Any suggestions?

[@MAGICMIKE478]

Hey Jeff I’ve been experimenting with making candles for bout a month. This was the first wax I used and still using. Surprisingly my first experience was good using snickerdoodle as the fragrance. But using other fragrances I haven’t been able to get a good hot or cold throw. I’m still experimenting with it to master it. What’s a good tip to improving on the hot and cold throw.

[@MrHerks]

What would you recommend for curing time with this wax? Thanks Jeff

[@jessicamartin6676]

Hey Jeff, Have you tried Sc21 from California candle supply? Its a coco/paraffin/soy. Please try it out. I tried for the first time and think its awesome. I'd love to see a review on this one from you.

[@susanhill9381]

Hi Jeff, I’ve been using 464 and you and Wade have said it doesn’t have a strong scent throw. Can you advise which soy blend wax (I have to have soy in my candles due to customer demand and marketing that’s in place) has best or stronger scent throw than 464. Have tried KeraSoy and I don’t find scent throw good on that one either. Thank you very much. Sue from Down Under.

[@yourawesomeness2424]

Is there a difference in pouring in the summer vs the winter? If so what would the difference be? like about 5degree difference ?

[@nessa7094]

ive made a ecosoyaq210 candle with a wood wick. it stays lit and the wax goes down smoothly but it smokes! i tried trimming the wick...what could it be?

[@StandleyHandcrafted]

Could be a combination of the wicks, oils, and wax. I would try another wick and see if it does the same thing.

Any wick recommendations for this wax? for a 3.75″ X 4.15″ vessel?

[@1pinklipgloss]

I may have blinked but what wicks are you using in the jelly jar?

[@CampNeko]

Is this a good wax for wax melts too?

[@georgianasalter]

Does this smoke when burning?

[@StandleyHandcrafted]

That’s usually due to the wick being too big or too much oil. Any wax can smoke with those two also happening.

[@AllyKLozano]

How did the HTP wicks do in the 8oz jelly jars? I have a lot of htp 104 wicks and 8oz jelly jars and am considering getting this wax

I know you said you added it to your line, BUT, do you like 6046 or 6006 more? and how would you compare the HT?

I need to do some more testing the 6046 but for now I like the 6006 better. The 6046 is really nice, I just want to test the hot throw in larger containers.

With the paraffin blends, do you think soy or coconut has a better hot throw?

For me I think soy does right now. I just started testing the coconut though.

[@ambar8037]

What happens if I add oil at 160 (lower temp than what you recommended) & pour it at ~145/150°F? I’m new to candlemaking & the flashpoint for my oil was 169, so I added it at 160 to be safe. Candle was opaque when I poured it. Curious what these conditions do to a candle! Any recommendations & advice welcome. Thank you!

[@PriyankaSingh-xc8xw]

It depend on what kind of wax/blend you are using ideal temperature for mixing for most of wax are 180/185*F coz that when both wax and fragrance combine together properly ( coz the wax is hot enough to blend properly with fragrance) … and i would suggest uh to change the vendor of fragrance as your flashpoint is tooo low .. normally flashpoint of fragrance oils are 200F … best of luck for your experiment

[@Waasi_Rossi]

Do you add additives to your candles

No, I haven't ever added them to mine. I will be testing some additives for upcoming videos though.

Hi Jeff! I have a question about this wax. I love this wax but I've noticed that when the candle is burned about 3/4 of the way, the wax pool starts to discolor. The bottom layer of wax still remains the cream color. Has this happened to you?? First I thought the wick could be the cause, but it's not burning too hot. Any suggestions would be most appreciated! P.S. Thank you for providing us with your awesome videos!!

[@StandleyHandcrafted]

This happens with a lot of waxes. It’s due to the wick burning and sometimes oils as well.

I'm really enjoying all your videos and all your knowledge you share with us!! I've been watching for a while and I had hoped eventually somewhere along the way my questions would get answered somewhere. I have 2 questions. Not really sure where to ask but i'm hoping here is ok? I've been researching a lot with little success in finding in depth information for the topics being talked about . 1) Since the weather is getting warmer, What type of wax would be good to use with wax melts without having to worry about it melting during shipping? Also I heard someone say in a video you need to have some kind of insurance to sell candles and I instantly got nervous about attempting to start a business. I definitely wouldn't want to get sued! Does that ever happen? and is that a necessary thing to have? I'm sorry if these topics were already covered and I just didn't see it and if so can I be pointed into the right direction for information i would greatly appreciate it!!!

Hey there! I’ve been watching your videos for maybe a year now. I can’t thank you enough for the wealth of info you’ve provided newbies like myself. This year I finally decided to dive into candle making and I’m trying to decide on a wax. I’ve tried JoyWax, beautiful to work with but I’m not completely sold on it as far as HT. I’m torn between a Coco Paraffin blend and The Comfort Blend. What’s important to me is quality (Appearance) and having a great Hot and Cold Throw. How are you feeling about this wax 1 year later? Which wick works best? I’m looking to offer two sizes, single wick vessels and 3 wick vessels.

[@kendralynn2490]

Hi, new sub here, and I just joined the FB Group! How do feel about pure coconut wax? I am so new to candle making that I have not even purchased supplies yet- so far just gathering all the info I can. My son and I both have asthma, so I love the idea of the purity of the coconut wax, but I'm really interested in your opinion. Thanks!
