- Welcome every one, todays video is a tutorial on how i create soy candles with 464 golden soy wax.
Its a great wax to work with but you need to know your process to get a smooth top on your candles.
Have you ever be totally frustrated with 464, i have and i get lots of questions on how i get that finish so below is a rough process i use that works for me but i have also added candle Science link that is super handy.
"Make sure you have all the candle containers and vessels ready prior to starting"
I will be talking in farenheit temp as that is what i use but i will also convert below.
1. Place wax in the slow cooker on low until is reaches 185 F (85C)
2. Take wax off the heat and place in a container at 185F (85C) and add in the fragrance (no more than 10% load) as that is the maximum for 464.
3. Add in your wax dye shavings if you are adding colours and stir untill it is disolved. (i said add in to WATER but im sorry i mis worded it - I mean add into the WAX.
4. Add the fragrance in at 180 - 185 F and stir for 3 minutes slowly
5. Pour into jars at 145 F (62C) (Candle science says 135F but for me i like to pour at 145F - 150F)
6. leave is for several hours to do its magic.
7. 12 hours later i cut the wick (dont do it if the jar is warm as this may move the wax)
8. Leave to cure for 5-14 days.

Thank you so much for sharing. Loved watching your work and impressed to try out a few myself as Hobby
Have fun and there are many waxes to try
It’s amazing the differences in temps with this wax, I heat mine to 90c add my FO at 85c stir for 2 minutes and pour at 75 - 70c.... my FO is usually between 6-8%. Smooth tops always, Both hot and cold throw is fab! Only have had issues on the reset is I don’t have the correct size wick.
Yes your right. It’s so important to test and we can all get different results. I think if it works stick to it.
@@NelsonInteriorSoapery 100% still from time to time have to check things are going okay too,
Hey did you ever get your candles to reset right? I’m having a problem with all types and diameter containers.
Love your videos and thank you for sharing so much information, can't wait to see the your next video Rhonda.
Awe thank you. There’s one coming out today too. Thank you for your support, I really appreciate it 🌹
I absolutely love your videos, your presentation is so lovely. All of your handcrafted items are beautiful. I use the freedom soy wax and absolutely hate it. I wanted to give 464 a try but have been put off by all the negative comments about it. You have given me the confidence to give it a try, thank you for the informative video 😊💐
Please give it a go. I had honestly 100s of bad ones until I worked on my process. Also make sure you really pay attention to the temperature as that’s the most important. When you check temperature make sure you give the wax a mix as the temp on top differs from what’s below. As I say in the video, write down what you did so you can do it right each time and I make mine when no one is around so I can be sure in the process. This month alone I think I’ve sold around $1800 in candles at markets so once you master it you will be fine. All of mine burn well to and I’ve had no complaints at all
@@NelsonInteriorSoapery You give me such hope. Testing is brutal but I'm determined to get it right. I'm definitely going to employ all your suggestions.
Great I’m glad it’s helped
Great video and thank you for all the information you give us. You are so generous with it ... can’t wait for the next one Rhonda have a great weekend.💕
Thanks Kim. I’m bringing an extra tomorrow in business tips
@@NelsonInteriorSoapery Oh great Rhonda can’t wait to watch it .... keep them coming just love the videos💕
So glad I found your channel.
Awe thank you 🙏
Thank you so much for such great information. I would love it if you could do a video on how to choose the correct wick and what to look for when testing ie: melt pool, mushrooming and soot etc.
Hi Leanne. Sure thing. I can do that. I have done some other candles ones to. Check them out in my candle play list but I can talk about wicks more in another video
I love your presentation of how you do your candle projects. I never seen embeds on candles. Thank you for sharing
Hi Yolanda . Just realised we have the same surname. Thank you for watching. Most of my candles have them and my customers love it and seem to be attracted to it
@@NelsonInteriorSoapery I recently started doing candles and I want to learn more about candle making, your video showed me a lot. Yes we do have the same surname. Thanks again for your video🙏🏾🤗🙏🏾
I have a question for you, how much do you charge for an 8oz jar with embeds on them?
@@yolandanelson1863 hi there. I’m in Australia so we use grams so once I converted it , it’s about 220 grams. I charge $29 for my 280 grams $35 for my 400 gram ones. I’m bringing out a video tomorrow and that’s a 400 gram candle that I charge $35 and I send them to Canada, USA and others . That’s Australian dollars . So I just worked out the 400 grams is $27 USD
@@NelsonInteriorSoapery Thank you, I will send you a picture of my candle once I’ve completed it. And I will put my 8 oz jar on the scale to see how many grams it is. I appreciate you sharing this information with me. Be blessed and continue doing a great job with your candles🙏🏾
Tysm for the video is so informative and good explain (sorry 4 my english cuz I'm from Uruguay 😊)
Hello 👋 from Australia. Thank you so much for watching 🌺💐🌹
Thank you for the tons of information. Very helpful. Thank you for sharing.
You are welcome hope it helps
Огромное спасибо) очень познавательное видео.👍👍👍
Thank you
omg I love your video and I love how u have made it easy for the warmer
how long dose it take in the warmer to melt completely hun can you also tell me hot it needs to be at in the warmer
and when to add fragrance
and when to Pore the candle in the jar
Turn your warmer on low and leave it for 1-2 hours to melt slowly - this gives the best results then check the temp is right fir your wax 464 heat to 80-120 degrees or so . Celsius then ad 8-10% fragrance and pour at 75 degrees
Thank you for sharing 🥰
Thank you for the tutorial & your expertise 🥰
Anytime Jackie. It’s always tricky but in time it gets easy
@@NelsonInteriorSoapery I am having some difficulty making wooden & cotton wicks burn longer than 5mins up to 20-30mins. My candles after 24 hrs are full of bumps & cracks with small tiny air bubbles! I researched for months & am a little frustrated!
@@jacquiericard5190 do you mean that they are not burning . If they go out it may be due to the process. Did you add micas or ? In
@@NelsonInteriorSoapery I did add mica!
@@jacquiericard5190 that’s why. Mica clogs the wick and will not burn so the wick has not way to burn.
When colouring candles only use candle wax chips, liquid candle dye or approved candle powder
Amazing informative video🥰🥰
Thank you so much. Glad it helped you
Thanks so much for sharing this video. How do you clean your slow cooker between pours? When the wax is still warm and runny or wait till it cools. Equipment also? Thanks
After use it and its warm i wipe out wax with a paper towel and then wash with hot water and soap. Only the inner bowl that can be washed.
@@NelsonInteriorSoapery thank you so much
Thank you Rhonda another one of your wonderful videos. I have just purchased some golden soy 464 to try out. Do you still use 464 ?
No I don’t. I use coconut soy from pure candles
Great video! Very informative! Do you add any additives to your 464 wax like stearic acid? I know soy is softer than paraffin and could possibly melt during the summer. months when shipped.
Hi Dana . No I don’t add anything as my customers seemed to like it as soy only and I always say no additives and they like that. I’ve not had any bad issue with a candle melting as yet
Hi, I love your videos so much. I am just wondering what the second wick is for and whether it is necessary?
Thank you. It’s called a booster. It’s only needed on large candles to help with heat distribution
@@NelsonInteriorSoapery Thank you. I might go and read up on that.
Hi,can you please tell me the temperature you poured the fragrance in….thanks
Hi there this video is an older one but off memory I think the fragrance was added at 185 f
Thanks so much. Mine come out beautiful but then after I burn them and they resolidify they look horrendous. Any tips?
Are they wrinkled and messy looking. If so it’s usually because during makibg the oil got to hot
@@NelsonInteriorSoapery thank you for this answer this is a problem that im having and i do think im heating it to much
Curious why you made the shift to coconut wax? What was the benefit? I’m still exploring waxes.
Because pure soy is tricky and does not love the heat. Coconut also creates a longer slower burn.
How do you prevent the fragrance oil beads from collecting at the top once the candle has set?
If that is happening it usually means you either added to much fragrance or you did not mix it well enough for the wax molicules to take hold
Hi, thank for this very informative video. I was inquiring about where to purchase the metal tins?
Which ones do you mean. Are you talking about. If you mean the small candle tins. I got mine from Aussie candle supplies www.aussiecandlesupplies.com.au/products/candle-tin-120gm-window-li
Oh ok thank you. I forgot to mention the one I was interested in. I meant the larger black ones you should early in the video. Kinda looks like a barrel tin.
Oh ok yes it’s also Aussie candle supplies too
www.aussiecandlesupplies.com.au/products/mini-44-dru here’s the link
I have a problem with the clear glass getting frosting on the sides
Thats because the wax is lowering its temperature to fast
Where you get your jars from?I live in germany and we dont have this beautiful...and the delivery costs are so much to germany :-(
Hi there. I get them from an Australian place called pure candle supplies www.purecandlesupplies.com.au/
I have a question do candles have a shelf life. I have wax that I bought since 2020 and wanted to know if I can still use them.
Should be fine. Once you make a container candle I would say it’s best to use within 12-18 months to
hi hun also why did you change the wax u used and in this video is it still the same process for that wax
I changed as 464 is a good wax but often leaves frosting and coconut is a smoother wax that holds scent better
Hi there! I’ve been making soy 464 candles with 8-10% fragrance and there is practically no hot throw! So confused. I add fragrance at 185 degrees and pour at 145/150. Any suggestions?
464 should have a very strong scent. Soy wax has excellent hot throw. Are you using a good quality fragrance.
@@NelsonInteriorSoapery yes from Aussie candle supplies and eroma. I must be doing something wrong hmm
@@natalieellis6926 are you stiring slowly for 2 full minutes. Generally i add at 9% but leave to cure for 2 weeks. I now use Ao5 from luxury candles as it holds up longer than the others
@@NelsonInteriorSoapery it is quite a light fragrance I will try some other ones out. Thanks for your help I’ll try that product too
Where do you order the containers that you hold your micas in? Thank you!
Hi there. i order them in bulk from wholesale.wfplastic.com.au/
@@NelsonInteriorSoapery thank you! I am enjoying your video’s!
@@melindaduncan3073 awe thank you so much
What temp did you pour your FO at?
For this I followed the video from candle science on you tube. I no longer use this wax.
I have a problem with the clear glass getting frosting on the sides
Yes clear glass is always a problem. I don’t use clear anymore as it’s really tricky as any imperfections can be seen. The only thing I’ve noticed is pouring at 140-145 f is the best smoothest look
Also you could warm the jar with a heat gun first so your not pouring a warm wax into a cold jar
