@mandyd.6960 I did. The wax is difficult to squeeze from the pouch. I assume it's because I used a parasoy wax. It's what I had on hand. Could that be the issue? Otherwise, it went well.
@RandySoWavvy I just made a batch with soy wax. Fingers crossed it is better. The other wax I used was the wax I use for wax melts. It must have been the firmer kind. I'm still pretty new to this so I'm trying to get it figured out.
Good morning! I’ve recently poured a few candles that’s separated from the jars during curing. Therefore I’m wanting to repurpose them by trying this. Being that my mica powder and FO are already mixed in, if I scrap it from the jars, reheat, add a little more FO (just in case some’s evaporated), how much mineral/vegetable oil would you suggest I add to the mixture?
Thanks so much for sharing! Will make this as my first attempt with the "smell goods"! Can I ask how much mica? What details do you have to include on the label?
Quick question. When you added 1.5 oz of FO you said you were adding it to 8 oz of wax but I was a little confused because you started with 4 oz wax and 8 oz oil for a total of 12 oz.
So In other words the calculations is off correct? Because I’m trying to make this exact batch and when I do the math 12oz x 18% is not giving me 1.5fo please clarify thanks
I've always wanted to try this. Thank u for sharing. I did get confused at the end. I used 464 soy wax (4oz) by weight, 8oz of vegetable oil. My issue is that mine will not "solidify" much. Consistency is like runny/watery mashed potatoes. Was oil by weight or volume?
im finding the ratio that works best is 1 to 1 ratio. so if i use 5oz of wax , I'll use 5oz of oil. then i multiply the total oz (10) by 18% (1.8oz) and then you'll get the oz of fragrance oil to use. this has worked the best for me so far. The consistency is kinda thicker but just warm it up by squishing in your hands and it comes out just fine.
It' s an awesome idea. I love it and I will try it to my country too. I can't understand only the recipe. You said 1 wax 2 oil. You put wax with oil together and warmed and in which temperature put the wax color and the essential? ❤ Thanks a lot for our time and for the idea. Wish you the best for your business!!!
I'm trying this now. With the recipe u mentioned you add 8 ounces to the bag. The recipe will either give u overflow or not enough for two bags. I filled mine to 6oz each
I haven’t had much luck finding the disposable flasks per se. Every review I read has bad reviews. Would you share the exact brand and or company you are using? Thank you in advance!
I'm confused with the math. I'm just wondering if you're counting the 18% from the 8 oz of oil. Because you say 8 oz and the math is an adding up so if you can explain a little bit better, that would be awesome. I appreciate it
Hi I loved your video, but I made these today with veg oil and 464, followed everything to the T and it never went solid, and the oil seems to be separating from the wax, plus the mica powder fell to the bottom. Can I just add more wax maybe? Or is there any other way to fix this?
I followed her directions to the tee using the same pouches and it was a lil bit extra. But I used soy tart wax and it was wayyyyyyy to soft. I’m going to use the regular 464 soy wax and hopefully I get a better result
I just started making these and followed your recipe to the T but I am using coconut oil. Its been 4 hours it looks milky but still hasn't become solidify yet. What should I do?
@@TheAmazon428 What temp. do you heat your wax to & do you add the veg. oil together with the wax as it's heating? Also, what temp. do you add your fragrance oil?
No, that’s the good thing about these. But I would wait till the next today to add them to a wax melter. Usually after 24 hrs it’s a better consistency to squeeze out.
The hotter your burners are, the faster they burn the fragrance out of any wax melt/tart. I use an adjustable burner so I can turn it on high to get the instant smell and then turn it down so I can make my melts/ tarts last longer
464 wax it's best to pour FO at 180, i pour it not shortly after because if it starts to solidify it won't go into the pouch. Pour your FO that is recommended for the type of wax you use
When I’ve used other waxes other than golden 464 wax, it doesn’t bind to the fragrance oil and doesn’t mix well with the oil period. So it separates bad. Each wax has a different melting point for when you’re supposed to add fragrance oil. Also I’ve found that 1 to 1 or 1 to 1.5 ratio is better. 1 to 2 doesn’t get thick enough for me.
@@brandyday6374hey, I’ve never tried the multi color ones. I would assume just put half the amount in the bag with one color and wait for it to solidify and the do another color and add it. lol I’m not sure though.
Hello, you added 4oz of wax & 8oz of oil. But you said you add about 18% FO which would give you 1.5oz of FO for 8oz wax. This is where I get confused because you only melted 4oz of wax!
Hello! My name is Starla, and I am the new owner of BeSoy! Thank you for your comment. What Brooke did was she used 8oz of the final mixture (the soy wax and the vegetable oil). So to the final mix, using 8oz, use 1.5oz of fragrance oil! I hope that helps! Make sure to do your own testing before selling to customers and follow all safety precautions
Just search up a conversion from oz to grams. Also with the FO I would just multiply your total oz of oil to wax mixture by whatever percentage of FO you want to use. For example; 4 ounces of wax to 4 ounces of oil so that would be 8 ounces times 18% and that would give you 1.44oz of fragrance oil.
This morning I put regular water in my pouches to see how much wax is gonna take for 18 ounce pouch. It’s like 8 1/2 ounces of product needs to go in the 8 ounce pouch. That’s how I figured it out.
I use a electric wax warmer. Electric ones are much more safer because they have no flame which should be considered since wax melts are high in fragrance load abd extremely flammable and with a electric warmer you get a stable heat plate compared to a tealight warmer that average a 4h unstable fire hazard flame for your customers 😕
4 oz soft wax
8 oz carrier oil
18% FO 1/2 oz
Thank you for this!
This may be a stupid question but does this recipe create 12 oz worth of squeezable wax melts? So it would fill 2 8oz pouches, 6 oz would be in each?
half oz FO or 1.5 oz.. You wrote 1/2 oz here but say 1 and a half in your video.
@@besoycandleco.2279 Do you put 1.5 oz in this video or 1/2oz.

Thank you. I can't wait to try this.
I just made my first batch today! I can't wait to use them! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
how did it turn out? Did you use 4oz of wax & 8oz of vegtable oil?
@mandyd.6960 I did. The wax is difficult to squeeze from the pouch. I assume it's because I used a parasoy wax. It's what I had on hand. Could that be the issue? Otherwise, it went well.
@@TheGlitteryGnome depends on what parasoy there’s soft parasoy blends and there’s hard parasoy blends

Mica, I would say is according to the color you want. I make candles, soaps etc. that would be my guess

Can you use mineral oil?
Quick question. When you added 1.5 oz of FO you said you were adding it to 8 oz of wax but I was a little confused because you started with 4 oz wax and 8 oz oil for a total of 12 oz.
Yeah i misspoke. The easy way to remember is one part wax two parts oil. Then get your math skills ready to determine what % of FO you want.
So In other words the calculations is off correct? Because I’m trying to make this exact batch and when I do the math 12oz x 18% is not giving me 1.5fo please clarify thanks
@@HealthyHairJourney72 I am also confused by this

Just Google disposable flasks

I did the same with 444 soy and I can get mine to harden at all. Super runny.

When I measure fo I do it by grams bc it’s so much easier, but when you’re calculating your fo is it only for the wax or the oil too?
I haven’t had much luck finding the disposable flasks per se. Every review I read has bad reviews. Would you share the exact brand and or company you are using? Thank you in advance!
Is the FO% based on the amount of wax, the total of wax and oil, or the oil?
Following.
Hello the bags you used are they the 16oz or 8 oz?
My candles are made w a coconut soy, would that wax be good as well or too soft?
Thank you so much for this video! I can't wait to try making these next!!!
Is there any links to where order wax and fragrances ? Etc ?
Hi
Loved your video and I'm going to try this. Do you think coconut brew wax would work for this ?
As long as it's a soft wax, it should work

What fragrance oils fo you use?
Could possibly tell me what you charge for one? Also where do you get your bags?
10
Is the temperature pouring into the bag 60c or should I do 55c
hi can i ask where you purchase your pouches please
Can we use any other oil? If we don’t have Vegetable oil?
What are the bags called on amazon
Do you calculate the FO% base off the wax weight, the vegetable oil weight, or 18% of the total combined weight of 12 oz?
Did you ever find an answer for this? Lol
I began to calculate the fo% Xs the total wax/oil oz. Been working well for me.
So can we just burn the fragrance oil by itself then?
Where do you get the squeeze bottle?
Hi I loved your video, but I made these today with veg oil and 464, followed everything to the T and it never went solid, and the oil seems to be separating from the wax, plus the mica powder fell to the bottom. Can I just add more wax maybe? Or is there any other way to fix this?
Did you find a solution to this?
Can you pipe squeeze wax into a jar? For example a candle cake jar?
I wouldn’t use this recipe for scoopable wax. This recipe is too runny for that. Trying searching up scoopable wax if you want to add it to jars.
Can you use Walmart brand $2 mineral oil?
Can u use 494 wax or nature c1 wax to make these I'm getting told diffrent things now I'm stressed someone please help thanks x
Can I do this with coco apricot wax if I use vegetable oil? This might be a stupid question 😭🥴
Yes any soft wax will do
What size pouch did you use?
so it's 8oz of veg oil & 4oz of wax ... that's 12oz...is the FO measured to the full 12oz or just to the 8oz of vegetable oil? thank you.

I just started making these and followed your recipe to the T but I am using coconut oil. Its been 4 hours it looks milky but still hasn't become solidify yet. What should I do?
i found the 1 to 2 ratio is too much oil. so you can do 1 part wax and 1.5 part oil or 1 to 1 ratio(which i like the best)
What temp do you heat you wax to and what temp do you pour the fo at?
@@TheAmazon428 What temp. do you heat your wax to & do you add the veg. oil together with the wax as it's heating? Also, what temp. do you add your fragrance oil?
What wax did you use?
good afternoon, I made some of these last night, do you have to let them cure before using them?
No, that’s the good thing about these. But I would wait till the next today to add them to a wax melter. Usually after 24 hrs it’s a better consistency to squeeze out.
I used about a tablespoon full in my burner and the scent started out amazing but was very faint by the end of my10 hr work day. Is this normal?
It should last all day. Is your burner newer or older?
Pattie, this was my issue ad well. Very strong but then very weak a few hours later.
The hotter your burners are, the faster they burn the fragrance out of any wax melt/tart. I use an adjustable burner so I can turn it on high to get the instant smell and then turn it down so I can make my melts/ tarts last longer
Would a 415 wax work?
Where are the names of the containers that u use?
Hi what temp did you put your f/on in and what temp did you pour in bag
464 wax it's best to pour FO at 180, i pour it not shortly after because if it starts to solidify it won't go into the pouch. Pour your FO that is recommended for the type of wax you use
So, can you use olive oil as well ?
I wouldn't. It's very potent and colored as wellb
Can I use wax 494 tart wax melts
Well shoot! I followed her directions to the tee. But it came out very oily. I don't know how to fix this. Any help?
Just add more wax. I use a 1 to 1 ratio and it works so much better.
So I did this but with freedom soy and not 464 but I’ve noticed that the oil is starting to separate from the wax. What could have caused this?
When I’ve used other waxes other than golden 464 wax, it doesn’t bind to the fragrance oil and doesn’t mix well with the oil period. So it separates bad.

I weigh it with a scale. I pour around 160 i believe.
Can you post in grams please. I am so confused with calculations. Half oz of Fragrance Oil or one and half oz of Fragrance oil?
