[@TimberRidgeGifts]

lol I'll answer to it :)

[@peggiestafford4169]

That was an awesome explanation! Thank you for sharing!

[@nicolesdiy]

Hi Tim, fascinating information. I did not think of the science behind candle wax. I am new here and Crafting It Up and Creations sent me! Always wanted to make candles. I can see why she wanted us to support your channel! I am now a new friend to your channel! I have a new channel and will share your video!

Thank you, Glad you enjoyed!

This was great, thanks, I been tryin to find out about "soy container candle making" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Cenadoelyn Candle Contemplation - (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my neighbour got great results with it.

[@rosegarden9914]

Just wonderful, I been tryin to find out about "how much wax do you need for 4 oz candle?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Panlijah Inconceivable Position - (should be on google have a look ) ? It is a great exclusive guide for discovering how to become a candle making master and turn a profit without the hard work. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my neighbour got amazing success with it.

Winner of a video, I have been researching "what kind of dye do you use for soy candles?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Panlijah Inconceivable Position - (search on google ) ?

This is just superb, been searching for "how do you make scented candles better quality?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Peyadison Peerless Prestige - (should be on google have a look ) ? It is an awesome exclusive guide for discovering how to make candles for fun or money without the normal expense. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my mate got excellent success with it.

[@rachaelrutherford2543]

Thank you for the info 😊 Do you have any info on coconut wax candles?

[@TheKintsugiwoman]

This was so incredible!

[@sbrittain81]

Hi I'm from England Been running through all your videos on candle making just to get a handle on things for starting a candle making business. One question i have which i have not seen you refer to anywhere, though I may have missed it. Once the candles are finished and waiting for sales, how long can they be stored for? Common sense tells me, for a long long time. Is this correct ? Thanks

[@nobukakurai5398]

Thanks for the info, but how is it physically possible for a cured candle to give stronger hot throw all the time while burning from the top to the bottom than an uncured candle, while two of them having exactly the same amount of fragrance oils (= the amount of aroma released in the air)? I could imagine why curing gives stronger cold throw but don't really understand how it affects hot throw.

[@Ebonye-xr4bn]

Fantastic explanation/demonstration! Watching this in 2021 and it's still super informative. TFS

[@Robin-ASMR]

Thank you 😊😊😊

[@pauletteyoung1015]

Another great video 👌

[@joelbaker1593]

Very good thank you loved it

[@Magnolia-qo8wr]

Thank you! Is there a specific temperature that I should cure my soy candles at?

[@BlackDogDesigns]

Awesome video Tim, tfs🕯

[@spitfire_69]

Im new to candle making, gathering information, have most everything I need. Didnt know about curing . So does this mean , even para/soy wax needs cured as well?

[@oslynglenn]

I swear to God if he was my science teacher I wouldn't have hated science that much.

[@calonstanni]

OK so wait. I still don't know why curing would make a difference in the strength of a candle's smell. How could that possibly matter when the volume of fragrance is EXACTLY the same? WHy would dispersion through the wax make it smell stronger?

[@ed98027]

My thought exactly. Spoke with my friend who is a chemist and he said that shouldn't affect the scent throw at all. Once the wax melts into a melt pool the molecule will just mix together again and it's the evaporation of fragrance oil on the surface of the melt pool that gives the scent, not the candle flame which will just combust the oil and won't produce scent.

[@Yuchub33]

Im a chemist. I think it only affects the cold throw, or the scent you get when you smell the surface only. They also harden a bit, if you care about that...

[@zeewill25]

Can you provide an answer for the paraffin wax on the cure time, if it requires the same method of cure time.....? Thanks

[@DLSWV]

👍😉. Awesome. Thanks Tim.

[@TheSecretaryOfFreight]

Is this the same for coconut wax?

[@johnreynolds7884]

How long did you let coconut apricot wax cure for your luxury candles

[@jillgross543]

I do 15 days!

[@Yuchub33]

Candles are like jello if you think about it, the wax is like gelatin holding the liquid aroma oils... I make natural deodorants w wax and I have noticed the difference in texture. I let them rest at least 1 whole day, otherwise theyre too crumbly and soft

[@Dara-ub9ol]

Sorry about your horse 😥 I belong to a candle group on Facebook and some things that are elementary to me are new concepts to others so I never assume that someone knows what I know and I'm always learning as well.

[@AchillesWrath1]

I've made a bunch of candles but haven't tried to sell them yet. I used 16 ounce parasoy in mason jars. I made them colored and tried to match the scents. My problem is i don't know what to ask for them. I believe i have about $4 cost into them each. Do you think if i asked $12-14 it's too much?

[@jillgross543]

That price is appropriate. Remember, your time is money too! Only you know what your time is worth to you!

[@HappyFarmerMG]

Thanks. U da Man

[@maryd3402]

If I store a scented candle properly, how long will the scent remain ? Over time, (a year or two or five) will the scent dissipate from the wax? (Will it lose scent?) How long can one store a candle and still have a good HT?

[@chowder8802]

A year??? I was worried that mine may lose scent if I wait to long

[@soyfulcandlescents8269]

Thank you for the information. I noticed you fill your wax on your candles to the top . I thought once the jar takes a different shape , you stop filling it . True ?

[@TimberRidgeGifts]

It would just depend how drastic the change in diameter was. For a mason jar, it's not that big of a deal. For something with a weirder shape you wouldn't want to fill to the top.

[@soyfulcandlescents8269]

Thanks boss 🙏🏽

[@jessiehermit9503]

@@TimberRidgeGifts Why?

[@Vanessa2775]

I let my candles cure for 3 days and the scent haven’t come yet but faint… what does everyone suggest for the candles cure time? Because I have customers and they will want their candles soon and I haven’t got any jars yet ….

[@bonniemerkerison9310]

You have spoke a bunch about soy. What are your suggestions for those who use paraffin and blended wax.

[@zeewill25]

I'd like to know the answer to this question as well... Everyone that's making candles aren't using soy wax all the time, there are other waxes out there and We'd like to the know the cure time if any on those. Thanks!

[@game-scents]

@11:12 "If I were to rate 'em I'd give day 10 an eight and 10 a seven." Confusing.

[@jillgross543]

Well, science is science, lol! I agree that candles smell better with time. However, on the opposite end of that....is this, my soon to be daughter-in-law gave me a candle last Christmas, it smelled good when I burned it then, now it smells off? It doesn't have the aroma it once did. It was peppermint for those who want to know that. Then I have a candle I've had for 4 years burned it and it was awesome.It was some kind of butterscotch, for those who want to know that. So, in my opinion, a lot has to do with whatever fragrance oil you use! Yikes! That is a whole nother problem. In general curing is great, but use your candles when you buy them! You can always buy another one, lol!

[@Dara-ub9ol]

Do you know when the candle she gave you was made( date on the label or did she make it herself)

[@jillgross543]

@@Dara-ub9ol Yes, she made it herself, one month before Christmas!

[@Dara-ub9ol]

Did she use essential oils or fragrance oils? How old were the oils and what was the storage situation of the oils? I bought a closeout special of a fragrance ( floral scent) and it was great for about 6 months then it turned rancid. For the most part if none of the ingredients are compromised there's no reason a candle can't be just as good or better one year after it was produced.

[@jillgross543]

@@Dara-ub9ol I am not stupid. Actually I personally work with fragrance daily. I create skin care and have added candles to my line. The candle she made for me was exactly what I wanted, it was made with fragrance oil from a very reliable company, I bought it myself the wax included. That is why if you read the above comment you will see I said it all depends on your fragrance oil. I'm not being hateful here, I don't mind the critique, what I mind is the idea that you think I don't know as much as you do??? Which, I don't think is fair, considering you don't know me, Please don't be so how do I put this...a put down.

[@Dara-ub9ol]

I didn't say you were stupid I don't know you and because of that I wouldn't know how knowledgeable you are on candle making or anything else.

[@rafaelmonge3420]

To be really scientific, you need to ask 5 to 10 people to smell them, without telling them which is which!

Hydrogenation = saturation... it is a poly-saturated fat. (Bill Nye isn't a real "scientist", he was a mechanical engineer who worked for Boeing, and even invented a part for 747s. But in a real sense, he is like a designer of homes. Yet he is now regarded as an expert in all things scientific. Very annoying. I doubt he could have done a better job discussed scent incorporation.

Don’t disrespect Bill Nye😩🥲

[@carolinam4361]

'manly candles' ... is it feminine to have candles? I hope not because so many men are missing out on a serinity and enjoyment of having a lovely smelling candle.
