Your Chanel had change so much after 2 years. Congratulations 🎉 I’ve been watching few videos
That was an awesome video! THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing your knowledge and helping others to also be successful!
I just wanted to say thank you so much for sharing all this information. I am so happy that I came across your UA-cam. I've learned so much and can't not wait to see how my candles come out.
Good luck!!

The best video I've seen - simple and to the point - without too much talking. Thank you!!
Love your reaction to the cat.
The best tutorial I has seen, thank you for sharing your skill and knowledge, I’m watching all the way from Scotland , love your cute cat to!
He's too funny. Thank you so much!
Thank you for your video. Just made my first batch of scented candles following your instructions.
Whoop whoop💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge.. I'll be making my first batch in a week or so following your tutorial.. fingers crossed! 🤞 Hugs from Argentina! ❤️
Thank you so much! I would love to hear how they turn out.
Best tip=ball point pen holder
Just wonderful, been searching for "how do you remove mold from wax?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Peyaniel Psychological Predominance - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? It is a smashing one off product for discovering the trick to be a candle maker for profit minus the normal expense. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my m8 got great results with it.
Cheers for this, I been tryin to find out about "movie making tips for beginners" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Peyaniel Psychological Predominance - (just google it ) ? It is a smashing one of a kind product for discovering the trick to be a candle maker for profit minus the headache. Ive heard some great things about it and my neighbour got cool results with it.
great video I'm still new to making wax & candles but love how informative I love using 464
Thank you so much. I hope it helps.
I've been watching for awhile now. You explain things so clearly and complicated. I really enjoy watching your ideas over and over again. I have to ask a lot of people say to warm up the containers first. Will that name a big difference if I do or do not warm the containers.
Thank you very much. 😃
I don’t warm my jars. It can make a difference but not enough for me to overlook the extra time that it takes to warm them.
Thank you so much for your vids. I'm starting on my candle biz journey & you have become a guide. Peace & Bliss 💜✨
Awesome keep video coming. You explained everything well. I'm a beginner.
You are an awesome teacher
I'm just getting into candle making and I have the actual making process down to the T. It's the scents. I started with essential oils aromatherapy (BIG MISTAKE) I brought some strong scents which left my sinuses all messed up making my room feel stuffy as I couldn't breathe. I'm about to switch over to regular fragrance with a more softer smell.
Thank you so very much for this video! It helped me a lot - very specific and clear info - and I can't wait to make my very first soy candles tomorrow, yay!!!
Absolutely love your channel. Very informative. I was wondering how many fragrance selections are good for a beginner and also do you just use a day of the week to make and replenish your stock or do you continually make candles? A little bit overwhelmed with orders and I’m trying to streamline my process a little bit....Thanks !
I love this video for making soy candles... I’m really interested in using essential oils instead of fragrance oils... what’s your opinion?
Hi.. I am new to candle making and i use 464, for my canles. I have learned plenty watching your videos. I love your lids can you please tell me where you get them from, please?
chantell Johnson Candle Science 🙂
Very informative. Thanks for sharing.
I too love your videos, they are filled with such great information. However, I am so confused on the temperature in which to add the FO...so many say add at 185 or the FO wont bind with your wax. Please help! Thanks so much for sharing.
Can you go a little more in depth as to how you got to how much fragrance you need to add to each candle please?
On the jelly jar you used from CS they have 3 types of these jars two with a 2.5 diameter and a new straight side jelly jar 2.35 using the 464 wax would with HTO 204/93 still be a good starting point for this new jar ?
Can you explain more why certain scents don’t work well with soy? Is it simply about the volatility of citrus scents, like how they’re just prone to wear out faster? or is it because the oil they’re in will conflict with the soy and cause texture issues?
How much fragrance did you add all together on this thank you
Thank you very much for your videos!
Probably 60-70% of the time that I've added FO at a lower melt point, my candles kind of crystalize. I don't have these issues if I add the FO at 160 or above.
Hi, I have been watching a lot of your videos. Your my go-to video when it comes to candle making .... what’s the difference between Soy 464 and 415.... thank you for your anticipated response ....
Love your videos! But I didn't catch the name of those little metal thingies that you put on top of the glasses to keep the wick in place. You do call them "wick tabs", but I find something entirely different when I search for wick tabs on google ... Help?
Thanks for the great video. This is the best one I've seen. I want to try that wax now. I use a eco soy wax and that makes so much sense that adding the fragrance when it's too hot will burn it off. Can you recommend a pine scent? I tried making a candle with pine essential oil and even though I put a ton in the smell was extremely weak.
Kimberly and Emylia 464 is a great wax. I’d go for the blue spruce or the fit scent from Candle a Science, they’re really nice and strong. You’ll never get super strong smelling candles from essential oils, they just don’t throw as strong as fragrance oils. 🙂
Hi Stanley! If my jar has a diameter of 3.06 which wick would work (I use the same wax but i'm not sure what a size up is called on the website) thanks!
Out of all the parasoy waxes you have used this far, which one seems to give off the best hot throw in your trials? I would like to use straight soy wax but they seem to melt a bit while out at farmers markets in the southern heat. The parasoy was a good compromise for me.
Hi sir very informative video! I have a question for you. My surface is uneven and I know heat gun will solve this issue. Do I use the heat gun 4-6 hours into the curing process or it is advisable to wait a week when the candle is harden and then use the heat gun? Thanks!
I'm here watching 4 years later, may I ask why you doubled the f.o. if its 12% per lb will 3.84 oz of f.o be too much for 1lb of wax?
I mentioned that I’m doubling the recipe but failed to mention that I doubled wax and only said the oil. 🙂
@@StandleyHandcrafted thank you so much!!
do you clean jars before pouring wax? if so with what?
Pam Kirk I don’t, I pour directly out of the box the ship in. 🙂
How do you calculate the amount of fragrance in ml for a specific jar size. What does the maximum fragrance load mean?
Do you have a link list of suppliers you like to use for various supplies (wicks, fragrance oils, jars, labels, soy flakes etc)?
This is exactly how i melt my wax
This is such a great video n appreciate your detailed information. I have been afraid to make candles for years even tho I have made tarts for years. I’m. Not intimidated anymore. Thank you. Have you found that some fragrance oils are watered down? Some of the companies I’ve tried have terrible fragrance throw n seem very watered down but others are thicker n more like oil. Any company recommendations for scents? God bless
How much do u sell them for
How do you use the heat gun without taking the top layer of fragrance off the candle?
Can you tell me where you get your wick holders to keep them straight? And how do you store your oils? Thanks so much!!!
Great video!
From where I can find the soy wax?
Is it necessary to weigh the wax for the large pitcher? I don’t add my fragrance to the large pitcher. I usually melt the wax in that large pitcher and then i weigh the wax I need for a specific scent in a small pitcher. I am new and still testing the wicks so I’m doing it that way
This video was so great! Thanks for all the tips. I am new to candle making, and I cant seem to get my soy candles to have any hot throw! I have been using C-3 soy wax from the flaming candle company which seems to handle great. I also have been using fragrance oils from new directions aromatics, which say they are good for candle use but don''t say soy specifically. I am unsure if it is the fragrance oil I am using or if I am not using the right ratio, I was wondering what your wax to fragrance ratio is typically, and if you have any tips for me?Thanks so so much in advance!!!
Thank u Stanley
Also, if making a candle in layers will color migrate, what would be best colarant for if not
Could you tell me what temp to pour igi 6006 to prevent holes
M d You can pour closer to 150 and reduce them but you still want to check because the top fluid look perfect but have a sinkhole underneath.
Thanks for sharing with us all this information!
I want to make some candles, but if I put some dried flowers or coffee beans, they can get burnt?
They can, you always want to test things like that if you do end up making them. Any loose materials pose an added risk for fire with candles.
What is the best brand fragrances for perfume smells?
Hey there! Thank you so much for the very informative video! Just wondering do you heat up your jars before adding the wax/f.o.? I heard it helps the wax not stick to the glass while burning the candle?
rosie p No I’ve never heated my jars. Pouring at a lower temperature can help reduce the sticking issue or wet spots as they’re commonly referred too.
Heating the jars slows down the cooling process which I’m not a fan of.
Standley Handcrafted thanks for letting me know, your family is so sweet! Best of luck to you guys
HTP and CD wicks curl to one side!
Hi, your videos are so informative
Does it matter if you add your fragrances at a low temperature? Lets say at 130f? Will the fragrance blend in well with the wax?
Also whenever i have made soy wax candles
When they burn for 3 hours, the wax has all become liquidy and it doesnt really look nice when its in a clear jar. Is this supposed to happen with soy wax?
I'm using the same wax and same size jar. Only thing is that I'm adding whipped frosting to the top. Do you think the wick you chose here will be okay?
Hello, I have a question about wodden wicks. Do they have to be soaked first? Some sites say yes and some say no. Thank You
Hi Jeff, thank you so much for your videos, they are great! I have a question, I am testing my jars to see how much exactly wax & FO to put in each jar. I did all the formula, and I came out for a 6 oz jar that hols 5.8oz of wax with 10%FO=15 gr of FO and 158gr of wax, but the jar doesn't get full. So, I keep trying to add a little bit of wax and now I just did 160 gr of wax but still not full at the line. What should I do? I am using the same jar you have in the video with the wooden wick ( I think it's the same, Candlescience,Medium Straight Jar. Thank you!!
Thank you for your videos, they have been very informative! We are having a wicking issue with the jars we just bought. We are using the GB 464 wax in same straight sided jars that you have. We have found some inconsistencies that aren't making sense according to the wick guides we have looked at. We have 3 jars with an ECO 10, CD 10 and CD 12. The CD 10 has a large mushroom and a larger melt pool than the other two. This is not making sense since the other 2 have not mushroomed, especially the CD 12. Do you have any suggestions on which one to use. I almost feel like the manufacturer got the wick sizes mixed up. Thank you
Kristy Kohne All three of those wicks in the same fragrance also?
Have you tried the HTP or LX wicks?
The CD wicks are nice and should be working well.
I haven’t used the ECO before but I don’t hear good things from others I know that have tested them.
@@StandleyHandcrafted This batch doesn't have fragrance. We wanted to get close with the wicks for these jars before we added fragrance. We have not tried the HTP or LX wicks before. We are open to try those. Could you give us a good starting point? Thank you.
Kristy Kohne hey try CD8
I thought you did 34 oz not 1 lb
Hi you said that the max oil that can hold by soy wax is 12%, is it same if I measuring the weight in Gram. If tried 74 he of soywax and 9gram of FO but I still struggling to smell the scent
Thnx for the video
Little confused you melted 2lb wax but when speaking about how much fragrance you mentioned how many oz's for 1lb, or was it you use so many oz's to 1lb so 2lb you double fragrance amount? Cheers Neil from Dubbo NSW Australia 😉
Yes I’m this video o give the ratio 1oz to 1lb and then I doubled it for the demo. 🙂
Hi! im from Argentina (sorry for my english) we dont have here many type of soy waxes and i dont have the manufactured information. I was making candles with recicled glasses and i have a very big problem with air bules or wet spots on the surface and you can see them through the glass!!!! its horrible! i think thas is caused by the wax shrinkage but i dont know how to stop it... here in Argentina we use a percentaje of an additive that makes the soy stronger because of the heat in some times of the year..do you think that this aditive can cause this or may be some temperature issue (the outer temperature too cold)??? thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!
Where do you purchase the wick tabs you used to center the wicks? I cannot find them
Ok if 1lb wax will fil 3 8oz jelly jars, would this be the same for an 8 oz straight sided tumbler? Thank you
Hey! thank you so much for this information. I was wondering how you created your logo and what website do you think is best for creating the labels for the candles?
Can palm stearic acid help with hot throw and uneven top in soy candle?
Is there a difference between candle dye and soap dye or are they interchangeable?
Hi .... Alla time electric is available in your country where ppl ise candle ? ...
Hi I’m thinking of starting a wax melt and candle business I live in Ireland and don’t now much about things were would I get my labels and packaging for melts and candles thank you for sharing x
Annmarie Keogh I would imagine you can buy some labels there somewhere or online. Avery makes some great sticker types that you can print yourself. Check out websites like Canva for creating some nice looking labels.
Standley Handcrafted thank you so much 😊 for a beginner like me 😌what products do you recommend I buy first that I would use like the melting pot thank you for sharing appreciate it x
I would recommend the parsoy wax, IGI6006 since it's so easy to work with. You will get a nice hot throw from it and get a better one when as you learn more. Soy is a great wax but can be tricky to get a stong candle in the beginning and can be frustrating when starting out.
As for supplies, I would go to Candle Science and see what they have to offer. They have everything you will need as a beginner. Lone Star, Aztec, Flaming Candle, are all good options as well. I choose Candle Science because they're close to me.
So Many ounces of fragrance do you put if your doing a candle that is 12oz
Hola how are you can you Tell me how to make a strong scented candle thank you
maxima mahnic What wax are you using?
Would you do wax and fragrance same way for melts?
Andreakka Bradley If you’re using the same wax then yes it would be the same way.
Hello! I used 464, 12% of FO and I poured around 125. The tops were horrible and hard to look at lol. I'm not sure where I went wrong. I also make sure that I have my house at a decent temp.
I've been told recently by the manufacture that it holds a max fragrance load of 10%, which is making me have a meltdown because I've been doing 12% for so long. I don't know when this changed exactly. I pour hot, at maybe 165 because I always have issues with them pouring at low temps. Once you add the wax, the temperature will drop a few degrees, so it's not really necessary to wait to pour. I tried testing the hot throw for one candle at 10%, but I get a really subtle hot throw. I'm about to have a meltdown lol
@@_LexiMae Girl, it's such a let down! Since then, I've worked with 6006 but I can't stand the soot and I don't want to sell them that way! So I went back to 464 and I'm only doing the 10%, heating until 180-185 pouring the FO at 170, cure for 2 weeks. I'll burn it on the 10th and see how it goes.
When I use this wax I have a big problem with cracks and lumps forming after the initial burn. When I first pour and let it cure the tops are super smooth but once it goes through the first burn the tops harden lumpy with cracks...anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
How much fragrance oil did you add to the wax?
What size wooden wick was in the glass jar?
Where do I find which fo works with soy on candle science website
hi, I'm trying to start a candle company and I want to do soy candles because that is where the sales mostly are and I like the feeling of being natural. I was just going to use essential oils so you can still smell something but its not that strong but IDK how long I would have to wait to put it in. would it be an hour? I've been looking at this wax with a melting point of 125 degrees Fahrenheit.
What size wicks do you use for these?
It depends on the wax that you’re going to be using, but for the jelly jars I use an HTP 83
I have just tried this wax for the first time. Everyone gives such good reviews for it. I usually use Ecosoya. I’m having so many issues with frosting. I have never seen frosting this horrible with any wax like I do with this wax. I have tried many pouring temps. 120F seems much better. I’m trying to make melts not candles with it. Can you give me any ideas on how to fix this issue? On CS, so many people are complaining about the frosting issue, so I’m trying to figure out if it is just me or not.
JiasJewels I think it’s more the wax than you at this time. CS has had a lot of issues with this wax the past few months.
I am learning a lot from your videos. I went to hobby lobby today and they didn't have the paraffin and soy mixed wax ( I might be spelling that wrong sorry) so I got the 100% soy that come in a 2 pound bag if I am making roughly 30 candles how many pounds would you say I will need and how much fragrance? I am using a 6 oz jar/glass. another question with that ounce of glass is it better to use the wood wick or the one that you use in your videos?
Kennyetta Watkins For that jar I would use a cotton wick. The wood might be too large of a flame for that size.
As for the jars I would imagine you’re looking at around 5oz of wax per jar.
Standley Handcrafted ok thank you so much
If i don't measure the temperature what problem i faced?
Hello,
I have followed your instructions in regards to 464 soy wax but I’m having an issue with my wick. I use 464 wax 8-10% of FO and I heat my wax 180 and pour FO around 135 and pour it 130 into my containers. I use tins 8 oz and my diameter of the container is approximately 3 1/4 so I use CD18 wick but it’s creating a huge flame and a lot of mushrooming what wick would you recommend ? Thank you I hope I hear back from you 🥺🥺. I love your videos by the way! They’re super informal thank you so much!
Hello I was wondering, how does poring the FO at 135 work for you with HT?
I’m really struggling with my HT atm
How many cups approx. is 1 lb of wax?
How much do you charge for a 4 oz scented candle?
What CD wick would you use with this candle?
Hi- can you please share if this 464 soy wax is 100% soy or has any paraffin wax in it- thanks!
What temp do you pour?
What wick do you use for the 464 ?
kayla stacey The HTP and wood
@@StandleyHandcrafted I've been Using eco 10 do you think that's okay?
kayla stacey Eco wicks are a Great choice. 🙂
I just ordered Ecosoya Q230 soy wax from candle science. Would you still hear to 180 degrees and put fragrance in at 145 degrees. I watched your other video and you said that you like to put the fragrant scent at 120ﾟ and also poor at 120 degrees. Not sure if you have used this soy wax before.
Should say get it up to 180 degrees
There are a few different sizes for wood wicks. Which size fits the 8 oz jelly jar? Thanks!
The medium from Lone Star works but it's a little hotter than it needs to be. The small is ok but not a full melt pool.
Standley Handcrafted thanks for getting back to me! I would make candles tonight, but it’s too hot lol
lol, I've been there. :D
how do you make the wax?
When should you put the lids on
I add mine once the candles harden and I cut wicks.
Do you use the same type of wick for all size candles?
No, I use a couple different ones for the same jar sometimes. Depends on the wax and fragrance oil
Hi! Thank you for your videos! I know what I am going say is going get people. They are going to say that I just want attention! I 'm not! I just wish I could sew and make extra money! We just losi our mom and cannot afford to help her move on was he funeral and Memorial and that hurts. I want to be able to make extra money to start paying for mine funeral and everything that goes with it so that way is it happens or when it happens my family don't have to go through this again!
Hi there , how much are you selling your 8oz soy wax candle?
Thao jenny Duong I sell my soy ones for $15
with 464 wax do you have to put stearin acid in or is it mixed in already?
It doesn't come with it but you can add it to help with hot throw. That and vybar.
@@StandleyHandcrafted for sn extremely powerful candle should I add both?
