    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!!

    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!

      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. :/

    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.

    • @BlackTieBarn
      @BlackTieBarn  4 роки тому +1

      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!

    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.

    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.

    • @BlackTieBarn
      @BlackTieBarn  3 роки тому

      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.:)

      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

    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.🙏

      @BlackTieBarn  3 роки тому +2

      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

      @BlackTieBarn  3 роки тому +1

      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. :/
