Somerscents checking in. I think a video explaining flame height pros and cons would be good for a lot of people. Seeing my local competitors using wicks that are unsafe and selling them to people. I agree I like smaller flames for sure. Spreading out smaller wicks for a good melt pool is more satisfying than one massive wick in the middle with a 3" tall flame.

[@StandleyHandcrafted]

Agreed! That would be a great video.

[@Alwyzrite28]

I second that with flame height. Because some I feel isn't an issue and then others I'm like whoa!

[@dorothyrichards257]

can you us a wood burning wick for the M 12 soy wax and if so, do you know what type of wood wick

[@carolinechampion4375]

Just started watching your videos,they are very helpful as I’m going to start making candles with a view to selling in the future 😃😃

[@Mandy_78]

Im in Australia & have been using this wax for a couple of years, I absolutely love it, its easy to use, sets & resets beautifully, its also amazing for hot climates, its my 'go to' for containers & A27 for melts & pillars

[@Alwyzrite28]

I am in a hotter climate so this makes me want to try soy again because of this. I may try the A27 for my melts.

[@Mandy_78]

@@Alwyzrite28 Depending on where you are & how hot it gets, my temps get to the high 30's (celsius) in summer & Ive not had an issue with M12, definatly no issues with A27 with the heat at all, it could get hotter & it'd still be really stable

[@tye8585]

Love your video. M12 a fantastic wax find TCR work well with M12. Not only that the hot and cold throw second to none. I have been using 21/12 TCR two wick in a 10oz jar fragrance load 8% and pouring at 55 Celsius - to stop the wet spots on my frosted glass vessel launch my range early next year. I will keep u updated.

[@kayceelondon]

you pour as low as 55 degrees C?

[@nelsonponce4605]

Hello Standley! Someone shared a method you shared about adding oil. She stated your method was to add the fragrance oil to the vessel and then the wax to the vessel. I have looked all over your video list for this video. If this video does exist, could you please tell me the name of the video? Thank you in advance!

[@michellekinley6128]

HI! So LOVE your channel. Have you tested any of the other wicks? And do you find you get good HT when adding FO at 180F?

[@alexander8272]

Hope you can testing all season wax deluxe S16

[@tinaharnack3704]

Wondering for labeling if you need to list the additive on your label per FDA requirements

[@gemmaboakye7650]

Hi I have been looking at your candle cost calculator, it looks good but is there an option to change the currency to £s?

[@Draconamous]

If you want to try a new blended wax. Virginia candle supply has something with 130 that is soy palm blended. Supposedly similar to 6006.

[@StandleyHandcrafted]

I loved 6006. I’ll have to test it out.

[@Owa24]

Did you do a update on this and what wick did you end up going with

[@thedoubleboiler6971]

I LOVE the look of 2 wicks. I currently only have one size (9oz Amber straight sided, single wick). I can't wait to get to the two wick practice. This was a wonderful review, thank you as always. I have one big question. I want to move forward with an online store soon. What advice (as far as return shipping label) would you have in keeping my home address (for returns) private? A P.O. box? Virtual address? Is it a bigger deal than I am making it?....please help. 😯 Any advice is really appreciated!

[@StandleyHandcrafted]

Thank you and I love the two wick look too. As for return address I’ve never run into any issues with it but a PO Box may be the route to go if you’re worried for sure.

[@thedoubleboiler6971]

@@StandleyHandcrafted Okay. Thank you so much as always and for letting me know your experience.

[@staceyjohnson8713]

im definitely interested in trying this. would this wax work with CD wicks. im currently testing with a certain vessel and soywax 464 i believe but would be open to trying this wax if it meant i can use the cd wicks i currently have. thank you for your time

[@StandleyHandcrafted]

I’ll be testing the CD wicks soon but they should work great in this wax. I’m loving a lot since testing again.

[@143HoneyBeee]

Will you be doing a video on the B808? I'm very interested in that wax. I currently blend my own soy and beeswax but I'm all for eliminating a step or two to possibly streamline scaling.

[@hayley.i]

Hi hun, I've just used that wax. Found it amazing! HT & CT was great. Adhesion to glass has no wet spots and never saw a glimpse of frosting. Does tend to get a lot of air pockets in wax but mixing slower and the trusty heat gun fixed that right up :)

[@phoenixnandori8678]

Ooo! I use M12 here in Australia! I’ve been always told to add scent at around 65 Celsius (149 f) and pour at 50 Celsius (when it gets cloudy) is the HT hood when mixing at higher temps?

[@StandleyHandcrafted]

I’ll have to test it at lower temps and see if it changes. The HT was great at higher temps.

[@phoenixnandori8678]

@@StandleyHandcrafted brilliant I will have to try that out! 🥰

[@Adam-nz2ti]

Have you tried adding the fragrance at a higher temp to compare?

[@ChristinaofBlossombluecandles]

Has anyone successfully tested other wicks with m12? I have a squared libbey jar 4dia looking to double wick. Made my testers today…fingers crossed!

[@khifayatabolurin4872]

What wicks do you recommend for s100

[@kevinpitts9014]

Jeff, I have ants in my pants! Where is the follow up video?!?!? Good stuff man! Keep up the good work!

[@StandleyHandcrafted]

I’ll get another one out this weekend. 😁

[@spring24863]

Hi ya, what do you prefer what is more luxurious .. the coco soy a05 or the ultimate soy? Couldn’t find the second video for the coco soy .. what was the hot throw like for that ?

[@StandleyHandcrafted]

I am loving the M12. The hot throw from it is amazing.

[@LaToya_C_Faulk]

What are your thoughts on hemp coco soy wax?

[@laurelhall-xu3cu]

Hi from Tasmania, is this wax good for melts pls

[@peggylindberg6647]

What’s the best wax for a good fragrance? Everything I’ve done & tryed hasn’t worked . Please help me. Thank u Peggy

[@StandleyHandcrafted]

I love the M12 and 6006 but all waxes can achieve good scent throw with the right wicks.

[@peggylindberg6647]

@@StandleyHandcrafted is this soy product? What wick do I need for the items u mention for a tin can 2 1/2 to 3 inches wide. Again that u Peggy

[@peggylindberg6647]

@@StandleyHandcrafted what’s the correct wicks?

[@StandleyHandcrafted]

@@peggylindberg6647 You would have to test a few different types. I like LCS in this wax.

[@tlmanty]

Do you sell those double wick holders?

[@StandleyHandcrafted]

Yes I do. 🙂 They’re made by dzignhauschic.com

[@ItsJessie915]

i love Coconut Apricot Creme wax do you sell that at all

[@StandleyHandcrafted]

Not at the moment.

[@ItsJessie915]

@@StandleyHandcrafted ok thanks

[@paulahiggins7003]

What is the cure time on this wax?

[@StandleyHandcrafted]

Maybe 2-3 days. I burned one 24 hours later to test and it smelled incredible throughout the entire house.

[@bluebirdscentshop8766]

What is the cure time?

[@StandleyHandcrafted]

I burned mine 24 hours later and the hot throw was awesome.

[@mrwonderful2081]

Is there any paraffin in this wax or is it all natural?

[@StandleyHandcrafted]

The additive is a derivative product of petroleum jelly

[@whereisbenny69]

yes

[@TheEublepharis1]

@@StandleyHandcrafted Just to make it clear: Contains Paraffin Wax & Petroleum Jelly.

[@StandleyHandcrafted]

@@TheEublepharis1 Yes it has an additive that is derived from petroleum jelly.

[@jessiedesena5687]

Is the additives paraffin? Or is it paraffin free?

It is a petroleum derivative
