Thanks for watching! Supporting AND learning from one another is amazing! cant Wait for more!

I'd love just for fun. I know u don't do silicone moulds but I'd love to just see u try it for the first time just so I can see your thought process when considering what you'd need and how you would start factoring in your list what you would expect/possible as the outcome before adding something to your store. Shake the channel up a bit for fun and help me too of course haha

[@BlackTieBarn]

@@sunnhi are you referring to molds for candles or melts? I definitely plan to add more variety at some point. Once I catch up. I am so far behind. Lol

[@MakeupMobster]

I really enjoy this series. I hope when I gain a little more confidence in my skills I can send you some to review. I have a lot to learn and a long way to go since I’m hand making my vessels too. I’ve got that part down. It’s the candle part I need to work on! Your videos are extremely helpful

[@BlackTieBarn]

❤️ thank you. Sounds like a plan

[@samanthaandsteven]

I get really excited for these videos 🙂 Even though they’re not my candles, your feedback is helpful for my own candle making and I really love seeing everyone’s creativity 💙

[@mycreativestudiosudsflicke6581]

Nice jars. You didn't say how many hours burn. I don't really like these jars for candles i use to use it but stop after a gizzlian testing it seems like the material use to make the jars double the heat while burning. If people choice to use this jar i would recommend using 464 golden wax or mix the blended soy/coconut. I would use a woodwick one instead of other wicks. If you have overload fragrance this may contribute to sooting to that degree, as we know sooting happens in all candles. Am happy i found your channel this is perfect for the holiday binge watching thank you so much for sharing. I notice the candle for the ocean fragrance soot way more than the coffee, am guessing ingredients may also play a part in sooting

[@BlackTieBarn]

Hey, I agree double wicking can make jar too hot if wicked too large. I also agree using waxes that don't burn too hit will help as well. The biggest reason why one of these candles soot more than the other was a) wick placement and power burn. But both were a tad overwicked I think contributing to most of the soot issues

[@mycreativestudiosudsflicke6581]

@@BlackTieBarn Great information, i have to retest all the fragrance i purchase from a company, i usually buy from new owners and the fo obb is super weak. I hope you make a video on fragrances and how often testing is required.

[@LilybetsDivinityLife]

I love these videos. Hope to some day send you one of mine before launching them 😊

[@SirATLIEN007]

Hi Wade…I Love your channel! Question…I’m testing a trying to refine my candles…so, starting out with the wick guide with candle science, it suggests that I use an ECO 8 for the size vessel I’m using and wax type (IGI 6006) but I’m getting a lot of soot I think 😖🫢 thinking that I need to wick down…I don’t think that there is an ECO 6, or is it?? 🤯 What would be your recommendation??

[@BlackTieBarn]

Thank you. There is an eco 6, yes. But I don't like eco with 6006.... never have. I think candle science recommends it because it's the beta of the wicks they sell... which is debatable. I prefer premier 700 or zinc wicks for 6006. The htp or lx before eco

[@tammyhorrigan6459]

I'm wondering whether lowering the percentage of fragrance oil could help with less sooting and angry flame too? Not just wick size? Great video by the way. Thank you.

[@BlackTieBarn]

Hey Tammy! It certainly could!

[@rachaelg.4804]

Ecos are way too big for me most of the time but if I have a fragrance eating my wick up and I've tried everything else they sometimes work well as a eco 2 double wicked in those sized jars. I use a natural coconut wax blend. Just started testing with CDNs. I don't use anything to center just the wick holders... I tried a 3 wick for my first time and OH MY I had no idea how to hold them up... used a bunch of rubber bands and worked well but definitely need a better option.. so many wick setters seem specific to the jar if using a big jar.

[@BlackTieBarn]

❤ yup, same experience for me. Ecos work wellwhen you need a little more "umph" Lol

[@MelissaGlam]

Can someone tell me a Tin size and Wick size that goes well with eachother please!? I'm going to be using a coconut soy wax. I'm new to candle making. I've done research but I really can't figure out wicks for the life of me! Lol

[@marisoldiaz6850]

Hello hello. I have something to ask you. I have a 9 oz. Jar, the diameter is 3 inches. I will use 6006 wax. What type of wooden wick may i use? And are the amazon wooden wicks good? Thanks.

[@BlackTieBarn]

Hey Marisol. I would personally avoid woodwicks from anywhere other than the woodenwick co. Couple reasons for that. They own the patent for wood wicks (at least in the U.S.), not sure outside the U.S. But also, with amazon you just dont know what you are getting with your materials. Who made it, what are the actual specs? I would worry about consistency with your materials. But that is just my preference. As far as your question about what wooden wick to use for that jar. I really don't know. I dont use wooden wicks in ay jars that small/narrow. It might be a challenge. Id probably start with a .02 or .03 and a 1/4 - 1/2" width. But that is just a guess. WoodenWickCo might help better with that question.

[@marisoldiaz6850]

Hey Wade! The Instagram link in your video description doesn’t work. Just wanted to let you know. P.S. This video was entertaining to watch. Thanks for sharing ☺️🕯

[@BlackTieBarn]

Ahh bummer. Thanks for letting me know Gina. Not sure what happened. ;)

[@mizzstarr510]

Hi wade, what is the maximum heat for a jar before it’s a hazard? I also used to use Eco 2’s and they burned so hot and smoked too much. Now I never want to double wick again because I’m a bit afraid of the outcome .

[@BlackTieBarn]

Eco have a problem with smoke and soot in general. Normally double wicking helps minimize smoke and soot because you are using smaller wicks. The problems with eco is that they are so large and hot even in smaller sizes. As far as jar temp. Try to keep outside temp from getting over 170

[@MushroomAngel]

Wade ~ how do you perform testing on others candles? Do you do it in 4 hour intervals?

[@BlackTieBarn]

Both. I do 3-4 hours burns and then a longer burn mixed somewhere usually as well

[@MushroomAngel]

@@BlackTieBarn would you mind maybe explaining your testing process in the next test candle video? At least maybe the intervals for that specific test/video? The melt pools from this video looked great and I was just curious how long you had been burning the candle in these videos. I also use the WW aura vessels so this video really caught my eye!

[@BlackTieBarn]

@@MushroomAngel For sure! Also planning a subscriber candle review marathon which will be fun. :)

[@rachelharrison]

How hot is too hot for the outside of the jar at the end of a 4 hour burn Wade?

[@BlackTieBarn]

Try to keep at 170 or lower.
