Very helpful with the levelling off. Thank you.
Brilliant. Thanks for sharing.
You explain it really well!
Thank you :)
Have just seen the answer to the wick/vessel size from 2 years ago!
hi! can you use a diffuser that is non alcoholic instead of essential oil? i put the diffuser fragrance in with almond oil. would thay work?
Was there a reason you didn’t give the size of the vessel or wick? Otherwise a very clear video. Thank you
Is this your small business, your great ❤
Hi when essential oils are used in candles or wax melt does it also need a CLP please?
Thank you! You explained it well. Most candles making courses advise that fragrance oils should be used. But you used essential oil .
Thank you for the great feedback. We have a great guide for using essential oils in products on our website: cosyowl.com/guides/how-to-use-essential-oils
Thank you for the link just read it. Thanks again
Good video. Can you do a video on how to make lip balm please.
Thank you! We can look into it :)
How many drops of oil??
Where can I find those candle holders? I love them!!!

Great video! You make it looks super easy. Can't wait until i try it out. Quick question for you. When you let it set the first time and then wait half hour to top off with more wax (the final layer) do you have to reheat to 60C again? I assume the wax would be set so reheating would need to be done.
sorry. i meant to say 'I assume the remaining wax in the heating container to set up and need to be reheated. Hope that makes sense. :)
Hi @@motorhead25 we would recommend heating the final layer of wax to the exact same temperature that the original wax was poured. 🙂
nice tins
Thanks you like
Thank you for a very informative video! Can we use paraffin wax instead of soy essential oils?
Yes absolutely, you can use paraffin wax soy wax and beeswax with the essential oils. If you wish to use any other type of wax, please do check with the supplier if these are suitable.
What is the tin size and what is the wicks you used?
The tin size is 250ml and we used TCR 33/18 in this video, but ECO 14 wicks would also be suitable. We include a wick guide on our containers - www.cosyowl.com/candle-tins/rose-gold-round-candle-tin-with-welded-side-seam---250ml to help when testing wicks :)
Hi what wicks do you use please
We have a variety of wicks on our website, you can view them all here: www.cosyowl.com/candle-wicks
Hi again, can I ask how to you dispose of any wax that might be left over and how do you clean everything without blocking drains? Hope that isn’t a silly question
Hi Jules, we do not recommend pouring products like this down the drain. Paper towel is good for cleaning the wax carefully whilst it is still warm and then safely disposing this in the bin. Alternatively, the wax can be reheated and used again for another project.
@@CosyOwl great thanks. And sorry another question. I am in the process of doing a large order from your website hence all the questions. Are any of the fragrances useable for candles and wax melts? As in do they cross over usage wise? Or would essential oils be for candles more, for example? Also do you state on each product the flash point? I noticed in your video you said lavender for 65 degrees? And the ratio of fragrance to wax? Or do I need to look this up really? Sorry for all the questions. Thank you for your speedy replies.
@@julesmorgan7747 Fragrance oils can be used for wax melt or candle making. The flash point temperature can be found under each fragrance oil in the description on our website. Each wax will have a recommended ratio of fragrance oil. It would be best to check on each of our wax listings for this. The fragrance load can vary between 6-10%. We also have some great guides on our website here for working out measurements: cosyowl.com/guides/category/faq
For this container which wooden wick do you reccomend?
Thank u!
I used 1cm and 1,5cm x 15 wooden wicks and the candles are tunneling. I use ecosoy wax and f.o.
@@sararoseto178 Wicking candle with wooden wicks is always a tricky task, im afraid we do not stock any larger wick than this so you may want to go far smaller and use two wicks in the container.
Where can we get the oil scents from?
Hi, all of our fragrance and essential oils are available on our website at Cosyowl.com
You have so many wicks on the website but which do I need for these containers please.
Hi there,
The type of wick you use is dependent on what wax you are using, if you are using any additives and what size your candle is. We have attached a link below that may be helpful to you. www.cosyowl.com/guides/percentages-and-measurements/
@@CosyOwl thank you very much.
Why do some people heat the container before pouring the wax?
Hi, warming the container can help with wax adhesion to a candle container. It means that the hot wax doesn't have a shock of a cold container and therefore can cool slower. This also can help prevent frosting too.
Do you guys ship to the United States
No, sorry!
Is that 65° farenheit or celcius?
Celcius :)
This is great, thanks. You used only 3% essential oil. Could you go up to 10%?
Hello Rebekah - Our essential oils should be diluted at a small concentration so I wouldn't recommend putting in more than 3%.
@@CosyOwl Thanks! Is that even if you're trying to get a good scent from the hot throw?
@@rlducat Yeah - sometimes less is more when it comes to adding fragrance :)
@@rlducat hey 😊 did the 3% give a good hot throw?
How much essential oil (ml) per grams of wax?
Hi, We have a great guide which explains all about the amounts needed on our website here: cosyowl.com/guides/how-to-use-essential-oils
Hey I just get confuse in the percent of scent throw can you explain in table spoon
Hello - we would recommend not using table spoon for measurements as it's more tricky to be accurate. In this video, we used 15g of Lavender Essential Oil which makes up a 3% ratio for our 500g of wax. It is always recommended to weigh your fragrance (grams) to be exact, like Victoria has done in this video.
Good video but the wick is no way 5mm, more like 1cm.
thanks for your feedback, we're always looking to improve on measurements and accuracy.
