    Sorry I know I’m late! But I just rewatch old videos because I really enjoy your videos and you don’t post videos as often lol. So for you working out of your lil studio/shed or the ones who work out of their garages do you guys live in hot areas? I’m in California and live smack dab in the middle of valley! So it gets really hot! So do you guys have air conditioning or deal with triple digit heat? I’m working out of my kitchen but would love to work in my garage or somewhere easier than where we eat lol but my space is very limited. 😊😊

    I recently discovered you and Love your videos!! You make me want to improve my game. I have an Apothecary and make and sell candles myself- along with bath products and all kinds of self care stuffs. I've struggled with candles - because I have so many irons in the fire it's hard to experiment to really prefect each one. (plus its really expensive) My Tin soy candles have been my staple- they work well so I've just kind of stayed with it- too many expensive failed experiments. Maybe I'll finally do more glass candles- I had history of them breaking in transit- do you ever get that problem? Where might I ask do you get that brown paper that you wrap them for shipment? It was in one of your videos. i go through allot of bubble wrap- that seems more eco friendly. Thanks in advance!

    What I’ve noticed with small businesses when making candles , they don’t measure the wax and fragrance oils that go into the jar. I don’t understand it because if you free pour like that it will cause your candles to not have the same level of scent. I found so far that’s its better to measure EVERYTHING specifically because some states require you to count your inventory by the oz

    • @marieharriet
      @marieharriet  3 роки тому +1

      Oh yes that’s why I make sure to measure everything, from wax to fragrance. It is shocking that some people don’t measure, I actually thought most candle makers would know to do that 🤨

  • @susannunez937

    Love the video! Question on wax...do you find that the wax you use gives you smooth tops after burning? I’m having issues finding a soy wax that’s smooth from beginning and after each burn.

    • @marieharriet
      @marieharriet  3 роки тому

      Thank you so much! So when I use only 464 wax, it isn’t smooth after they burn and I think that’s normal with all natural soy wax. I used to use a blend of Soy 10 (from calcandlesupply.com) and 464 wax (Candle Science) and that would always give me smooth tops after burning, all the way to the bottom! I would do 30% Soy 10 and the rest, 464. The reason I stopped is because Soy 10 is always out of stock and I was tired of stressing about it lol

    What is the best wick do you suggest to use in soy candles??

    • @lab3789
      @lab3789 3 роки тому

      464 is a soy wax, and wick size depends on the jar size and fragrance oil.

    @laurarahill6188 3 роки тому

    Did you get smooth tops I 1 pour? Please tell me how I am struggling big time!! What wax is this and what temperatures do you poor?

    • @marieharriet
      @marieharriet  3 роки тому

      Hi! With 464 wax, I pour at 150 degrees. Most of the time I get smooth tops, but it depends on the fragrance oil I’m using and the container. So in my 8 oz tins, I 90% get smooth tops and if I don’t, I just pour a thin layer on top and that usually helps. In my bigger/taller containers I don’t always get smooth tops so I pour about 3/4 of the wax, let it cool down, and then pour the rest! I used to buy Soy 10 and mixed it with my 464 and that would always give me creamy smooth results!
