I just bought a kit from candlescience for $61 and includes a glass thermometer, wick holders, and all the same stuff in your kit, BUT tins instead of those gorgeous vessels. Free shipping as well. Wonderful, honest review and admission of your own errors.

[@kimmatura3564]

It is crazy that they only have you fill them half way when they give you plenty of wax.

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Right!?

[@sherryzimmerman9220]

Black Raspberry…..great for Valentine Day scent…..Jazz is a perfect background….the kit looks fun

[@JerikaZimmerman]

I think so too!!

[@samavery7969]

You can add the fragrance oil at a higher temperature than the flashpoint as that is the temperature it will ignite with a naked flame so the wax temp won’t affect it. It’s only really important for transporting and if making gel candles. Great video though 😊 x

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Good to know!! Thank you!

[@tara.tingley]

I only use American Soy Organics wax to make my candles. Best wax I have ever used, hands down. Really really good customer service and they have 2 website with awesome information and a fragrance/wax calculator that comes in very handy 😊.

[@janicewhitby6623]

Heh heh, I was going to order the kit after my family and I move in the new house in a couple of weeks. These are perfect for my new living room.

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Have fun! They’re so so pretty!

[@kimpaul5980]

I use VCC. They have great pricing and customer service.

[@mehalla451]

I love Freedom Wax I've been using it since August 2023. With my experience with this wax I have to let the candles cool slowly. Or I will get frosting or the wax pulls away from the glass or sink holes. Which I hardly get anymore. I do use a heat gun as you suggested to make the top smooth. Great video thanks!

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Good to know! I like this wax a lot!

[@Ivy_King]

I love the necklace you’re wearing in this video! 😍🥰 where did you purchase it?!

[@lindaadams5124]

I have black raspberry and vanilla in my line I can't keep up with it such a good seller.

[@jaimepeca6472]

The flash point isn’t the temp you add the fragrance at. Your wax should tell you what temp. Soy is generally 175-185 . Flash point is for shipping

[@SpooksAndSpanks]

Ooohh another juicy 24 min video! 😍

[@SpooksAndSpanks]

I think you and I have the same phone case. Lavender vibes. 🌸

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@JerikaZimmerman]

This phone case is awesome!!! Easy to clean too… does yours get covered in bath bomb dye too? 😅

[@SpooksAndSpanks]

Mine gets covered in soap oils because I keep asking Siri to do my math for me. I’m good at some things, math is not one of them. 😂

[@shellyburridge8817]

Ooooh I love your necklace, where did you get it? The linked one.

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Ana Luisa! 😊

[@keilynnlamb5355]

Me and my mom make soap and are waiting to start a soap KZbin channel. What camera did you start with?

[@TaraRenita]

Could it be that by 1 cup they meant 8 oz in weight? That probably would've given you a full candle. Wax and FO is usually measured by weight on a scale.

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Hmm.. perhaps? If so, it wasn’t clear in the instructions.

[@beep-beepwatermelon4203]

I wonder if they meant one cup as in using the candle container as a cup? That’s so strange that they would give inaccurate directions when there’s a massive bag of wax. Anyways, I always look forward to watching your videos!

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Agreed! Thanks for watching!

[@ladyabernathy717]

Can I DM you for a business specific question? I’d really appreciate it.

[@lindaadams5124]

I would of did 3 cups 2 is not enough.

[@thefragranceapothecary7281]

I would not be happy with half filled candles. It always feels like a rip off when I see under filled candles.

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Yup their measurements need to be updated, I think!
