I love watching your videos. You are so informative and helpful. Continue with your videos and never change. PS your kitchen is amazing it looks beautiful god bless
Thank you so much! Very sweet. :)
As ALWAYS: this video is spot on! The ladies I teach have asked me numerous times about wood wick candle making and I’m such a newbie to candle making in general, I watched this and I’ll send you some pics of what they made next week!
Thanks Elizabeth!
I LOVE your videos! I played around years ago, back in the “hippie” days, making candles in all sorts of containers that I would find around the house or at thrift stores. Every candle was a hit or miss experience, but it was a whole lot of fun. Now, nearly 50 years later, I’ve decided to indulge in this pastime again, only this time I have UA-cam, Amazon, etc., at my disposal, so I’m approaching it in an entirely different way! I enjoy the science of it, the record keeping, and the challenge of dealing with so many variables. I’ve watched many, MANY videos about candle making and I always refer back to yours! The content is always clear and helpful, but I think it’s your personal style that captures and holds my interest. THANK YOU for your help!!
Thanks so much Susan. Glad you enjoy the style snd content. :)
Omg. Why did I not think to precut the wood wicks?? Thank you for being a perfectionist, it has served me well! Lol
You are a good teacher. You explain things very well.
Thanks so much
Hi your kitchen is the size of my living room, Thanks for the vid's I am just starting out in candle making for the extra income. cheers and take care.
Thanks so much! You as well!
The house is beautiful and so are the candles..thank you Wade for another great video . Carol
Thanks!
I have watched many candle videos. Yours is the most professional and detailed. Thank u!
Thank you for the kind feedback. I appreciate that.
I love watching your videos! You help and inspire me and so many people. You are selfless and appreciated. Thank you Wade! Keep on teaching and I will always be in class to learn!
Thank you. And no problem at all. So happy you are here! :) :)
I totally agree
Beautiful kitchen! Thanks for sharing!! Love watching your videos, Wade! I've learned so much. I just started making candles and had no idea how much there was to learn! I am a retired critical are nurse and have a few hobbies. Stained glass making for one. I got interested in candle making as I saw one of my daughters throwing away a large used Tuscany jar. Now I have her save the jars and I clean them up and repour them....lol. I hate wasting a perfectly good jar! I have expanded from there and ordered jars. Mostly making them for friends and family but...who knows. I am 75 and really don't want to start a new business but....maybe I'll teach one of my children what I've learned and they can take it from there. Life is full of changes as you know! I hope you keep doing the videos they help so many and you are so good at it!
Thanks Myra. Definitely plan to keep doing them as long as everyone keeps enjoying them. :)
I really like wood wicks. They make a lovely crackling sound. They are much easier to keep the wick straight. What shouldn’t I do? Do the sizes make a difference?
Thanks for sharing this. Made my first wood wick candles today. Hoping they turn out well🤞🏽 Also thanks for the tip on pre-cutting the wicks down before wicking👍🏽
❤️😁
You have a beautiful kitchen, and thank you for the tutorial. You and Standley are so gracious giving of your time teaching candle making. Thank you, I'm learning a lot from you two.
Thanks Sandra! Happy to help. ;)
Thank you so much!! I needed guidance on making candles this really helps.
❤️
Thank you for the video, I started before and I stopped because it’s time consuming but I’m starting up again. Again thank you for educating us. The kitchen looks beautiful.
Thanks so much!
Have you ever thought about writing a book? If so put me down for one. Thank you for your videos. Very informative.
Thanks Pat!. I have actually, and its been requested several times. But, I am not sure where to start at this point because there is so much to cover. And, I've been extremely busy so things have been very hectic. But, yes.. it is on my roadmap. Thanks Pat for your great feedback! :)
You could use someone else to do all of the writting of the transcript, just need to find someone reliable who will take YOUR wods and put them to paper. It's not hard to do and frees you up to do your candle business. I'd think about doing that! However, that does cost money, lol!
@@sonicamy4518 Thanks Jill. Great suggestion. I will keep that in mind. I don't mind the writing... I do a lot of it. But, its a time thing and deciding where to start. 😆 Great suggestions.
You have a beautiful kitchen
Thanks Christy! ☺
Hello hun, I have just come across your videos. Thank you so much as I have learned alot from this and other video's of yours, as I am in the mist of wanting to start my own candle and wax melt business in the UK. You are so informative and amazing to learn from. I think you could start your online candle and wax melt course, people would happily subscribe to that online I am sure if it hun. Once again thank you so much for all your videos, they are amazing as are you for taking your time to show everyone on here how you do things. God bless 😊
I love that you show exactly how you make your candles! I think you do the best videos of candle making!
Thanks for your nice feedback. I appreciate that! :)
I LOVE your videos. I started a notebooks when I started creating candles and I have to say I have a black tie barn section now. Thank you for the education
Oh... haha, that's awesome!:)
Hello Wade, I love your videos and I wondering if you can explaining the curing process and the time it takes for soy canlde
Perfect camera setting, much clearer and easy to understand.. 👍🏻
Thanks Natasha!
Enjoy your videos. What is the best source for wood wick sizing and selection?
Great video. Thank you
Glad you liked it!
Thanks so much Wade for always being so detailed! Your channel is such a blessing
Thanks! And you are welcome! :)
@@BlackTieBarn I burned my wood wick candle in my 9oz Amber jar. Using IGI6006 and after two hour burn the candle flame was so high Wade. I’m not sure what’s wrong and my wick was a medium wick from Wooden wick.
@@tawanalm I'm not sure what a medium wick is from woodenwick. Do you know the actual size? .03 1/2 for example. That would help me.
But, I dont use woodwicks in a jar that size because it gets super hot. You would want to try a pretty small wick. I only use woodwicks in tumberls without about a 3-3.25" diamater. So, I may not be super helpful on this at the moment. :/
@@BlackTieBarn I will check on tomorrow and let you know which size it is. Thanks so much Wade for reaching back
@@BlackTieBarn it says The cracklings wick .03 Flat wick
Wick height 5”
Wick width .375’
Hope this helps.. thanks so much
Hi Wade. I have a question. What causes a wood wick to split in my candle. I’m new to candle making.
Very helpful. Thank you!
You're welcome!
Love your videos! Where do i find the original wood wicks? Im hitting a wall. Do they still make the? Thanks 😊
Thank you
And Makesy.com
There is a link in the video details
The rename then a bit since this video but still there :)
Just starting my candle journey. wondering what scented oils you use? ....science?? didn't see insupplies list above. Thank You. Great videos
Wow, great idea to keep the candles warm. I live in New England. I my kitchen is cool in the winter so I’ve been bringing my candles to the basement and putting them on the furnace for the day so they can cool down slowly. I bet you could put a heating pad on low under the bottom aluminum pan to warm containers too. Probably easier than preheating the oven all the time.
Agreed. I do not preheat in oven because it's not scalable. It's fine for small batches and for starting out. But not a good long term option.
Hi! Your channel is a blast! I just started to learn candle making and use soy wax. I tried different brands but never had such smooth tops like yours. Is that because of the wax mixes you use, inhibitor or smth else? Also, your advice on how to reduce bubbles? I noticed you didn't tap the jar but there are no bubbles at all in the finished product. It seems I do everything I can with soy wax but still have bubbles 😢 Thanks a lot!
Great tips 👍🏽
Ty!
I love your video's
Thanks!
I use a bramble berry and a Pyrex glass
Pitcher
❤👍
Hi Wade
I make soy wax candles only as a hobby. From what I have read on various sites where people offer tips like yourself, I was under the impression you needed to add your fragrance oil at the lowest temperature possible before pouring in order not to dissipate the fragrance. So I have been adding my fragrance at 125F, stirring it well & then pouring my candle. Is this a big mistake??? I would so appreciate your imput. Really love your site & have learnt so much.
Wade I heard using a heat gun like your isn't very reliable. Is that true? I have a similar gun and thought I may need to purchase a regular kitchen thermometer, your thoughts?
A soup ladle works great for transferring melted wax!
It absolutely does!
You're very smart! Love your videos!
😁 well, thank you.!
Hi wade what's in the white and green bottle you poured in the jar at 16.07 minutes?
Fragrance oil. :♧
I love your crackling birch candle.
Thanks! Yeah, it's a super popular one. :)
One of the best channels for candle making. Thank you.
Can you please tell me, it's necessary that inhibitor and what is it actually?
Ty! No, not necessary at all. It's mostly used with colored candles but totally optional. Search on my channel for UV Inhibitor and I have a video on it. :)
@@BlackTieBarn thank you I will
I hav run this video through several times to try to catch what you added after the wax melted and I cannot decipher what it is. Could you please tell me? Many thanks. Pamela
UV inhibitor. Totally optional. :)
Do you still sell Bonefire Nights?
Would you ever adjust the FO % if you didn’t feel the wicks were perfect during the initial testing?
I just love your videos. Been waiting for one on wood wicks. I’m transitioning to them.
Glad you like them! Happy you are here on this channel as well. :)
Are these a single ply wick?
Your kitchen looks amazing ~ Thanks for the video
Lol. Well thank you! :)
Your videos are filled with information that is very useful. I made some candles in the past, but didn't know enough about it. Got frustrated and gave it up, until I came across one of your videos. Have watched a few of them, and now I'm interested. Thank you for taking the time to share.
No problem at all. Glad to see you are rekindling the flame (pun intended)
I might have missed it, but do you pre wax your wooden wicks? Or is this not needed?
I don't prewax them, once they are in the melted candle wax they are getting waxed. :)
LOOOvvee THE UNDERARMOUR HAT, IM IN NASHVILLE TN SO THE MAIN HUGE DISTRIBUTION CENTER & WHERE THEY MAKE ALL UNDERARMOUR IS LIKE A MILE AWAY FROM WHERE I LIVE, IVE KNOWN THE OWNER FOR EVER..
Oh that's awesome. I'm jealous. Lol
Thanks for sharing sir! Much appreciated.❤❤❤❤ I love the color jar as well.
Thanks Ian!
You make tryna start a hobby and/or business worth the try. W look forward to your informal videos please don’t stop.
😊 Thank you! :)
What’s the best way to keep wood wicks from moving when the wax is pouring? I find mine will slightly slant
Loved your professional video! It was very useful, just started the candle making journey. The last footage was very interesting also. 😂 Thank you!
You're welcome! 😆 and thank you. :)
Your videos have been helpful, I am about starting a small candle business and came across your page. Please I would like to know the oil you added and if it is necessary in candle making and if flavored essential oils can substitute for it. Thanks in anticipation
i would stick with fragrance oils made specifically for candles. There are SOME essential oils that work with candles but be cautious and do thorough testing. Like these here: www.candlescience.com/essential-oil/
Do u know if wood wicks and pb600 would work good together?
They work but like woodwicks in general.... can be tough and inconsistent. Lol
Hi Wadw , what is the neme of that power you put before the FO? I didnt get the name , & what is it for ?
Uv inhibitor. It can help keep colors lasting longer l. Totally optional though
is the amount of fragrence oil wasted clinging to the cup enough to worry about and add a touch extra to make up for?
In general.... its say no. But I guess it depends how much is clinging. :)
Beautiful
Ty!
I want you be my mentor 🙏
Hello from Greece! What is UV inhibitor?
Optional. Helps keep colors from fading as quickly due to UV light exposure
Can I use wooden wicks in pillar/votive candles?
Never seen it myself to be honest.
can you tell me what size jar you use. height and width. thanks in advance
These are 10oz jars about 4 x 3.5
Thank you sooo much for your videos!!! They are extremely helpful!
Hi Liz!! Thank you !
Thank you
Np!
For a 4 oz glass jar what size wick cotton and wood do you use? Thank you
What's diameter of the jar and what wax?
@@BlackTieBarn 2.75 inches wax is soy thanks
what consistency are you referring to when adding the UV inhibitor? why would the wax need it if not dyed?
It doesn't need it. I mean.... for selecting wick choice etc...I try to keep variables the same as much as possible. But honestly.... this is 100% personal preference. There is no other reason for it. I actually do it less these days. :)
Beautiful kitchen area, love the counters.
Thanks Karen! 😄
May I ask which wood wick company did you use Or you would recommend? I bought some wood wicks on Amazon but they don’t work too well since they are very thin. Thank you very much 🙏🏾
I've seen people that use 2 wood wicks and a cotton wick between the 2 wood wicks. This seems easier and works just great. Not sure why you would sandwich the wick.
Agreed. Not sure why that would be done either. :)
new subbie!!! my first time watching you but i love your channel now
Thanks Shayla! Glad you are here. I hope you enjoy. 🤗
Question Mr BLK TIE
how did you make your recipe 🗃️ and your deciding the oz or weight for your oils with Wax? Is it algebra / geometry or just experience PERIOD?
Yes. Lol.
All waxes have a max load they can handle. And suppliers will generally have a starting recommendation. U usually start around 8% Oil and adjust ad needed. Check out my recipes video.:)
single layer wood wick? i’ve seen so many others using double layers… what’s the diff?
What size wick did you use ? It sounds like you said 403...
Wait! Should we be using different wicks for different fragrances???
Not necessarily. But fragrances can affect your wicking significantly. Different sizes is very common. And occasionally different wicks might perform a tough better as well
I've only been subscribed to your channel for a day and already you're an inspiration. Good content and very informative.
I even went on a candle making course a couple months ago and if I'm honest, it wasn't as informative as this.
I'm excited to start my candle making business. I shall definitely be trying the wooden wicks now. Thank you 😊
Thank you so much. I appreciate that. I'm actually working on some behind the scenes detailed courework as well for a more structured type of content. But I really appreciate your positive feedback!
Hi Wade, my question is , if you are using Vybar, do you need to use IV inhibitor? For a new starter , I found it so expensive to buy all those things to make a better candle… on your next video could you kindly explain the importance of each …Thank you kindly
Vybar and Uv inhibitor are not related. Serve completely different purposes. So, no... not interchangeable and using one does not affect whether to use the other. That being said, both are completely optional
@@BlackTieBarn Thank you so much Mr. Wade for your early reply … I am beginning to learn little at time… I spend so much money for candles since my husband passed away 2 years ago… I alway lit a candle everyday & since I am retired might as well have something to do… thanks again..
Hello, I was wondering do your wood wick candles crackle as they burn?
Thanks for your videos
Hi. Yep, sure do. But the amount of xrackly will vary by the oil being used. Sometimes it can vary significantly.
Hello and thanks for the videos. Where do you purchase fragrance oils?
I purchase from several places. Check out one of my supplies videos. I have several listed there. :)
I'm looking to get started making and selling, what supply store do you recommend ?
Just recently discovered your channel and you are a wealth of knowledge! Thank you for sharing it with us♥️
Would love a video on dyes for beginners! Both on how to as well as your recommendations on what works and why it sells!
Great. Thanks Emma for the suggestion. I will add it to my list of topics to cover!
Wow how do you know weight size of wax would that be your BLK or white vase?
Just fill them once and weigh out the difference. :)
What woodwicks are these? I’m using voyager soap and candle supply … I can NOT get them to burn properly. I’ve tested with waxes, trimming, making sure I had the right size for the diameter of the candle… nothing I do can make these burn right 😭
yah woodwicks can be VERY finicky. for all of us. You are not alone. I use them from the source (makesy.com). Also sensitive to different wax types and fragrance oils. So just have to be super patient with wood wicks
Thanks for another great video Wade! I'm now searching the groups and forums for info about the Clarus wax you are using. I had not heard of this one before. Have a great week!
I can answer a lot about clarus 3022 if you have any questions. And can get you in contact with a rep at clarus who is great to work with and get you a sample!
@@BlackTieBarn I would love the info please
@@oxobrittoxo2818 Brad Ford (bford@clarussp.com). Just tell him you heard of them from Wade with Black Tie Barn. He knows what products I have used and liked and go over some options with you. :)
Great video! Love the finished look of your candles, very nice
Thanks Jane!
Used your foil cave method yesterday, worked fantastic! Little awkward pouring at first but got easier.
😁
I love your containers to storage the wax, can you please share where you got them , thank you so much!
Just home depot or lowes. :)
@@BlackTieBarn thank you so much
New Subscriber!
Awesome. Thanks Ellen!
Beautiful thank you
Thank you and you're welcome!
Hi Wade, I love your videos and watch them constantly. I’ve just branched into using wood wicks and I noticed after it solidified one of my candles moved to 1 side. I’ve asked in the face group why it happened and was told to use a wick holder. I noticed you didn’t use a wick holder. Here in Australia we don’t have wick holders for wood wicks. Can I ask in the absence of a wick holder how do I keep the wood wick from moving to 1 side. I know it was centred and I used a hot glue gun to stick the tab down. I’d greatly appreciate your advice. Thank you.🙏
Hey Susan. I think we chatted about this recently in another place. :)
@@BlackTieBarn thank you Wade! Yes we did. 😁
I appreciate everything you do to educate us.
I want to start my own small candle making business. But I don't have the luxury to buy different waxes, wixs or dyes to test which on which work best with what. What is the best way to make sure I buy ingredients and tools that work well together to avoid wasting money and resources.
Much love from south africa ❤️
100% go with reputable candle supply companies. Avoid random Amazon purchases, etc!
@@BlackTieBarn Thank you
@@spiritualgangsta-h4f You are welcome. :)
I cannot get wooden wicks to work to save my life. I think its the wax I use, beeswax. Thank you for the great info! It will be very useful if/when I give in and go to soy.
Hey Robin. Yeah, wood wicks can be finicky that is for sure. And, yes, beeswax is pretty rough to burn as a container wax. :/
I have one question:what was the white powder you filled?I just only read it.thank u!
UV inhibitor. :)
Great video and great kitchen!
Thank!
Your explanations in your videos are so detailed. Truly appreciate it. Question: Have you ever used Nature Soy C3 Wax?
Ty so much!! I have and wasn't a huge fan. But it's been a while.
@@BlackTieBarn ok, thanks for replying.
Thanks for your video. I’m a new subscriber. I have tried wood wicks with 6006 wax Par/soy mix using cotton candy fragrance and fruity pebble. I was using a 16oz jar and the top of the jar was 3” wide . The company called the wood wick medium I also tried a large size. My candle did not burn well at all. 😞
Yah woodeicks lie others require a ton of testing. I don't really know what a medium size wood wick means so probably can't help too much. You may want to check woodenwickco guide on their website. They also not be able to tell you what that other company is referring to as their medium wick
Where do you buy your UV inhibitor? Do you think there is a difference between suppliers?
I think it'd the sake everywhere assuming it's actual uv inhibitor and a reputable supplier. I've gotten it from candle science, lonestar and Flaming candle.
Just watching this can you list the diameter of your jars and the size wooden wick? Also where did you get your jars from? Thanks for your help.
These particular jars were from candle science at the time... although they aren't always in stock and other places periodically carry them as wel. Jar diameter was basically 3.25-3.5"
Wick size depends on what wax I am using and what FO. It can vary drastically based on wax and FO.
6006 is generally a .03 or .04 and widths vary by FO
PB 600 is more like .02 and occasionally. 03
All soy will need a booster usually
@@BlackTieBarn Thank you so much 😊
Oh so many good tips! I needed to hear! Thank you so much. I’m just getting into the craft and the shrinking and adhesion on the beeswax coco creme is giving me a challenge. I’m trying multiple waxes out for sure. You’re furnished candle product and kitchen are beautiful. That counter top! Thanks for the education!
😁 You are welcome! :)
Are you keeping your temp. up on your wax?
@@sonicamy4518 I do not continue to add heat. Once I remove it at the proper heat, I just work until its ready to pour. But no, I do not continued to supply more heat. With these waxes, I heat to 195ish, add UV and Dye, add FO around 180-185. Pour around 165-170
Ever notice soot residue on the tops after they’ve burned and cooled? Having this problem and wondering if it’s the nature of cocosoy wax and wood wicks.
Wood wicks can definitely do it especially as the flame gets lather or more wild. It happens even more with softer low melt point waxes. Which may be what you are seeing with cocosoy.
Maybe try wicking down a size just to see if it helps a bit
I’m using Wooden Wick vessels “Aura.” I’m having the hardest time finding the right size. I’ve used 03.675 along with the 03.75. I get frightened when the flame is much too high with the 03.75 so I’ll drop it down to the 02.75 which will burn it pretty well but don’t give me a full melt pool. Oh and by the way I’m also using WW Virgin Cocosoy. Please help and shed some light on what I might be doing wrong.
Hey Kia, I don't use that wax at all so not familiar with how to wick it unfortunately. My only advice really is to keep experimenting with both different widths and thicknesses. Also, those pesky woodwicks can be very inconsistent as well. Works great sometimes.. not so much others. :/
