Evan, from a retired firefighter, ABC extinguishers think Ash,Boom,Crackle. Ash=wood and paper, Boom=flamable liquids, Crackle = electricity.
That's cool, thank you!
Really! Ok thats cool and the anagram makes sense in this context. They should also put that on the canister.
That's really helpful, thanks
This is such a helpful way to explain it!
i work in automotive collision repair & we’re always around flammable stuff. so i’m stealing this for the shop thank u
Evan: “it’s like candle sand”
GUYS ITS A SANDLE
HAAHA good one
Hi Evan and Katelyn! Wow! We are flattered that you chose Foton Pearled Candles to highlight and demonstrate! Thank you so much for taking the time to review our product! We would love to take a second to clarify a few things for you all and the viewers.
1. Good news, we are not drop shippers! :) We are proudly made in the USA, a family owned business in Fort Smith, Arkansas where we produce all our products in-house! While there are other alternatives out there, we stand behind our product (and the price) knowing that we offer the highest quality ingredients. Our pearls are made from highly purified, plant-based wax (no paraffin, phthalates or parabens), non-toxic, clean burning, readily biodegradable and compostable as well as kid/pet safe. We believe in the statement, “you get what you pay for”, and aim to provide high-quality, nontoxic candles to our consumers.
2. We do want to make it clear that we did not invent this type of candle nor claim to have! Many of us remember the sand candles from the 90s (which are simple paraffin beads), and we saw it as a way to potentially refill old candle jars to create a more sustainable way to enjoy candles. We improved on the composition and packaging, creating a plant-based version that’s nontoxic and has a longer burn time with consistent flames, and called our new and improved version, Pearled Candles. Our pearls actually burn longer than traditional candles with our 18 oz candle providing up to 120 hours of burn time! We also taught the world how pearled candles can be used to refill old candle jars, can be refreshed to look brand new every time you use it, and how they’re safer by self-extinguishing when knocked over or accidentally left burning. Love seeing you experience the safety aspect first-hand!
3. In regards to safety instructions, with the floating candles, we do recommend a minimum layer of 2 inches of pearls to keep the wick from reaching the water. The 1” of space should be between the bottom of the wick and the container you use. This way the wick will self-extinguish by just falling over before the heat reaches the container for safety.
Again, we are so thankful you took the time out to do such an in-depth review of our products and glad you enjoyed using your imagination with Foton!
Now this product looks super cool to me. If you live in Fort Smith, is there anywhere I can buy this in person?
Ah, that makes more sense. I do like the self exstigushing
I hope e&k see this
Is this not chat GPT the formatting and wording is exactly how chat gpt writes 😭
From a professional candle maker, your product looks amazing and the only reason the second option is cheaper is because it's paraffin wax, your definitely are priced appropriately for what you sell. Paraffin is incredibly toxic, especially for small pets like cats, I do NOT recommend using it, and honestly don't know how it's even legal. For those who don't know paraffin wax is made of crude oil, the same stuff that makes plastic and gasoline. When you burn paraffin wax it releases harmful chemicals (ex. carcinogenic benzene and toluene) that have been linked to causing lung cancer and asthma.
33:15 "I wonder if the glass would've eventually cracked under the heat." Yes, Evan. That's exactly what would happen! I know because it happened to me!!
YES!!!! My husband had left a candle going overnight & then he went to work without blowing it out…. The candle had been sitting on a glass vanity. Well the glass vanity busted, causing the candle to fall thru and shatter into pieces. Very close to an all out fire happening. (I was asleep when all this happened but I heard the glass breaking, luckily)
unrelated but I left a candle burning unattended for 2 minutes and it fell down near my Switch and burned a spot in the back of it right above the battery.
almost as though it was mocking me
Same! I had a knocked over candle shatter
I just commented the same thing. You have to use heat safe containers for candles. They can crack and spill wax and catch on fire. Be careful ❤
I burn candles on my stovetop since there isn't anything flammable close to the candle.
Orbeez were originally designed with agriculture in mind. The idea is that you put them into the soil of a region that doesn’t frequently get rainfall. When it does rain, they swell up, and then they slowly release the water back out into the soil.
You can use them in house plants too.
They are so nice in Ca, we add them to the soil around our less drought-resistant plants.
That’s what we did. It kept out plants alive for longer, giving the soil water.
They may want to reconsider putting Orbeez in a flammable product like a candle due to the fact that if you let the candle burn down to the level of the Orbeez they will burn releasing toxic fumes into the air.
I guess you'd just have to be really careful and not let the candle burn down completely at least
The water will have to evaporate for that to happen, i would imagine as the water would extinguish the fire.
With the water and the nature of the wax beads I don’t think it would
Considering the water is literally reaching into the wax, the candles would burn out far before the flame would reach the Orbeez.
Yes because the Orbeez will totally burn with the water around them. The Orbeez would need to almost fully dehydrate before they could actually start burning, and by that point it'd be really difficult to keep the candle going if it was at the water level. The candle would stop burning far before the Orbeez likely even get warm.
I swear I remember buying bags of this type of wax from walmart and making candles that looked like this sand bottles. In the 90's. Then being disappointed when the wax all melted together and looked gross. Lol
Ha! Just got to them making sand art. Does anyone else remember this wax stuff being a new fun craft thing? There is NO WAY my mom bought it if it wasn't cheap if not affordable.
@@rachelg9873you are right I have seen those before. Craft kits for sand candles.
I remember having this stuff in the 90s as well, always a big disappointment when the colours mixed and melted. You had to keep the bags in a cool climate, or they would clump up if left too long. Still fun to play with and make cool designs.
Yep, I was immediately transported back to making these candles in Girl Scouts in the 90s when I saw the title.
We used the cheap wax sand at VBS about 10-12 years ago, it's still very much out there.
I’d love to see a comparison of the cheap versus expensive beads!
Yes, me too!
These granules cost less than 17 dollars for 5 kg locally at my place. Will you buy these expensive ones from the video just because of their fooling presentation? Wax is wax. Never promote greedy toilet dweller extirtionists to harm the economy of the country. If there are no cheap substitutes available, then we should refrain from curiosity.
My thoughts exactly
@@ketansaart1546 i understand where youre coming from, but wax isnt just wax. it can be made from a variety of things, like oil or plants, which in my book is a huge difference. and that's probably why this was so expensive, being plant-based, and that there's way cheaper options, that are crude oil based and toxic to burn.
California candle supply also has the granulated wax, $4.99 lb. They have about 10 colors.
Why would I buy wax at $5 when I can buy lard at $2 and can also eat it in emergency?
this reminds me of some candles my aunt always had at her house that were entirely transparent and made of a like... gel rather than a wax, she lit them once and they seemed to work like a normal candle and were filled with sea shells at the bottom. might be fun for you guys to try that as well!
Yep. That's called gel wax. It's a really bizarre transparent jelly that can be used in candle making. Very giggly.
Just searched it up, and wow, that looks awesome! Yeah, they should definitely try making custom gel wax candles.
My dad and I made those when I was a kid! The gel is very fun and bouncy once it's dry
omg my grandma had one as well!! but it had a very weird smell to it i remember. thank you for unlocking that memory i hadn’t thought about in years omg
i ruined so many of those candles sticking my fingers in them as a kid lmao
I imagine these would ROCK in a wax melter! You could make a diy kit with wax rocks and wax succulents/petals or something to make a cute tiny zen garden and then melt the whole thing. Very zen. You could get complex with it and make a whole tiny bonzi tree from wax .
wax cherry blossoms, very fitting!
You have to be careful when you throw out your orbeez! Creatures eat them when they're tiny and then they swell up in their stomachs :(
Aren't they reusable?
@@Akiku2 yeah, I'm pretty sure they are
@@Akiku2 They are re-usable, they can dry out and then re-hydrate, which sort of makes them more dangerous. If they want to dry them out at home, they have to make sure Jubie doesn't eat one. If they ever throw them away, a wild animal or stray cat could eat one.
I usually blend them up into a powder once they're dried and throw them in a local pond. I love seeing all the fish swimming in slow motion.
Katelyn is always so smart to remember to use a control in the experiments. That's the first thing I always forget.
Apparently this company uses plant-based wax, is non-toxic, burns clean, therefore is pet friendly including around birds (of course, non-scented option is better + reasonable precautions are still recommended), and is produced in Arkansas or in their EU warehouses. As per their website. I didn't see any certifications or anything that could prove the veracity of these claims.. but at face-value: not drop-shipped.
Also, they recommend only their non-coloured pearls min. 2" above water + wick not touching water for floating the pearls.
Soy is a plant and "burns clean", so all of these claims can be true about normal soy wax
We had this wax in the '90s... it was called "sand wax" or similar and came in super bright colors. I got a craft kit with it and fell in love with candle making because of the candles I made with it!
For next time you want to make a terrarium candle and are afraid of placing more, there are silicon molds of succulents and rocks on diy/ali sites and you can just pour some green max in them and have a perfectly safe decoration! :)
this is what I found about Orbees "Orbeez are colorful water beads primarily made of a superabsorbent polymer called sodium polyacrylate (usually made from acrylic acid and sodium hydroxide)."
Fun fact, it’s the same polymer they use in diapers!
@@starlightlilly7203Is that why the orbeez squish in that weird texture? If so that makes so much sense!
In the early 00's, Orbeez contained a substance in them called GHB, a club drug. Kids were eating them and getting high then passing out.
@@DeeKay0hI thought you were full of it, but omg
@DeeKay0h I don't think that was orbeez I'm pretty sure it was Bindeez or aquadots.
My god, how much does Evan love his Katelyn. It shows so much. I wish I've known love like that in my life
YES... and we get to watch them hit roadblocks and compromise too in a healthy way, and it's refreshing to see when so much on youtube is toxic relationships.
Yeah i know, they truly demonstrate what true healthy love looks like, it’s the most heartwarming thing to see ❤❤❤
Don't give up
In a way, they are like relationship goals even for me in my own relationship ❤😊
I find them both kinda passive aggressive to each other 😂 better than arguing I guess. Maybe it's a Texas thing.
Y'all should do a cheap vs expensive wax beads or something like that. I'm sure there is some way that y'all can make it more interesting tho lol
Apparently to make granulated wax you just spray melted paraffin wax into a container, probably using something like a paint gun the wax cools and it makes the beads. It doesn't seem that hard to make, you'd just need a nozzle that won't clog with the solidified wax. Fun video guys.
Perhaps a modification of a 3D printer nozzle would help prevent clogging, and a variation on the water based conveyors that are used for fruits and vegetables, that way you just leave the sprayer in place, and collect the wax by scooping it up from the other end.
Joobie's purring made my day. Thank you for sharing her❤️
Wax fires are SO dangerous and hard to put out, speaking from experience, so the spill test actually made the wax beads interesting to me.
A cat's purr to me is like pure serotonin
Oooo... squeeckie purrs...
you could say it's purr serotonin 😏
@@steveycraft979 🤣🤣🤣🤣
One time when I was sad, I just put on a recording of cat purring. It helped a lot.
i think it was proven that the frequency of a cat purr helps relieve stress in people and promotes other well-being things!
I first saw this candle sand at a picnic setup by an event organiser. They said it was good because it's low waste and they can reuse the unmelted wax at the next event and have perfectly new looking candles each time.
Ooh that is a really interesting use case!!
The candle started smoking because of the flame on the glass and yes it would have cracked and possibly even exploded if the flame was left on the glass, no one wants flying shards of glass so Katelyn was correct in blowing the candle out
Orbeez are 50% orb, 50% bees
I remember doing the sand wax candle project as a kid with my mom. We poured a layer of melted wax over the top to keep the design in place so we could give them as Christmas presents.
I wonder if hitting it with a heat gun would trap the design in
We'd burn ours after we made them for long enough to seal in the design.
There are all colors of the orbeez also there is water beads for plants and floating candles. I do my candles with water beads and floating candles and have skulls in the water.
Yup. You can find already reconstituted water beads in the craft store in the floral section as they work great as a less messy 'water' for fresh cut flowers. ie, if it spills, instead of a quart of water, it's a little water and a lot of beads that spill out.
YAYYY!!! ANOTHER UNCUT!!!
Hopefully one day I can actually hop on a stream, but i'm happy i can atleast watch uncuts :'D
I love how creative you are with the lives, the video overlays, different shots and different cameras!! Thankyou for putting in all this effort
You can get tiny marble molds to make resin orbeez and then inlay them into a mold for a bigger piece, where you grind of the surface so you can basically see orbeez cut in half
Soooo anyone else know you can get this wax for a lot cheaper? It's called granulated sand wax :)
I found a place called California candle supply that sells white for like $3/pound
Yeah this used to be a fun easy craft you’d even do with kids but now that it’s “trendy” companies are charging a ton
alibaba has it for 3 dollars a kg
Katelyn’s shirt is so cute! I thought it was a Pride shirt at first but then I looked out the window at all our snow and remembered it definitely isn’t June yet.
Sand art, both layering in jars and also pouring sand on sticky paper to make pictures, and candle making were staple summer camp crafts growing up!
They were for me in the 80s and my kids in the 2010s too, I don't get the whole "it's a 90s thing"
I've never made a candle, as a kid or otherwise, but we did love layering colored sand in glass bottles.
I HAD to do it every time I saw a promotional stand outside of a business or at a festival. It's crazy how often I saw bottles of sand art then I turned 10 and boom. Gone. Never to be seen again.
When you guys were chanting ham it summoned my cat and she spooked me 🤣
Supurrvisor purrs really made my day, so relaxing 🥰
i am finding it hilarious how they keep saying its soooo expensive you can go to almost any craft store and pick up a bag of candle sand between $5 and $20!
Back in the late 70's there was sand art all over the place. They got very complicated with flowers and cactus and all kinds of things using lots of kinds of glass containers. It started in the south west and spred all over. It was very popular.
I didn’t even know this was a “trend” 😂 I was trying to find something like this in 2012 for my wedding and nobody had anything. I ended up making them myself by using a cheap cheese grater and a regular candle and it worked tremendously.
This livestream reminds me so much of watching the sand art in art attack as a kid its unreal.
That's exactly what I was thinking!!
These have been around for years.
There was a stall at my local shopping centre where you could purchase a jar and fill it with what ever colours and scents you wanted. They had heaps of fun colours and scents and I got one for my first Mother’s Day from my son’s other mother. I still have it 3 years later 🖤
Hate to burst your bubble but you can’t put orbeeze in resin they are too wet I’ve watched loads of resin channels try and never succeed lol would look soo good though ❤
one of the first candle making videos i ever watched was about how to make the drip effect with solid candles! You pour in layers (like regular) and then take a very hot metal stick and poke down in basically the same way! or you can also pour in layers, remove the shape of the drip you want from your first layer, pour your second layer, etc.
Not as easy as the beads but!! still possible!
So I've figured out how to make this stuff. You use a device called a granulator, and it mists hot wax into the air so that that wax cools into small crystals, and then a drum spinning around the mister collects the granulated wax, and pushes it out one end of the drum so that it can be collected. This thing takes up a lot of space, and I don't believe it's feasible to do the same thing for an at home application. You would need a pump that can handle the wax, misters that can spray the wax fine enough that it cools inside the diameter of your drum (Recommend the drum for better collection although you could remove it and use like a large tarp underneath the mister), a motor to move said drum, a collection point and shoot to collect the wax. If made here in the US I could see how this would be an expensive product. It's a niece product, with little application on large scale, and requires semiprofessional equipment to create. I think I could make something to make this stuff, but sadly I don't have the money nor patience to do it.
I just want to commend you two on how you always demonstrate good safety practices in all your videos, like in this one both having a fire extinguisher and a fire blanket on hand, doing the knock-over safety test, etc. It's just such good role modelling of the very basics everyone should always be considering in their projects as a matter of course, as opposed to a "burden" only thrown on at the end if at all, as many DIY channels do. Big appreciation ❤
At the renaissance fair in Minnesota they have a “booth” set up for layered candles like this. When you are done they melt the top layer to seal it up.
the cult canlde would have looked awesome with Black base and red pentagram too! but i agree the shadows were reeeeally cool and i liked the design in general. the black beads melting in swirls in the middle looked like dark forces moving in the wax XD nice one!
😂 You obviously don't know anything about cults
😂
On the candles that have liquid in them, I would put a layer of melted wax to separate the two. The beads won’t sink in to water if there is something between them.
I think that this is a project that needs repeating, especially if y’all are going to try and find cheaper beads.
🤔 Maybe a buy vs DYI: get a blender (and/or different methods of making wax beads) and bought wax. Then make different projects with each kind.
**thoughts on pentagram candle:
-I would have drawn/traced/etched a pattern/dent/trench then poured the wax out.
-would have been cool to pour melted black wax as the pentagram
-the crouching guy was totally running away from the summoned flame. He wasn’t a true believer, when the flame appeared he was like “uh, NOPE” 😂😂😂
Totally love y’all, Evan and Katelyn, can’t wait till your next video/project/stream.
Also, with the pentagram candle, while the trench would likely help, what they really needed to control where the wax is going a bit better than the squeezy bottle would be a smoother flow. For that I highly recommend cutting a straw at an angle (or even better, use a slushie straw). And the whole vibration thing is exactly what we do with powered enamels and glass when we need to control a line so Evan had a good idea.
I loved the cult candle. 10/10 best candle. EDIT: I just got to the litter candle and I lot it so much I would buy one.
On the plus side, those fake fish toys were all based on real reef fish. It's surprisingly common to find toys that include entirely made up fish and/or a mix of reef fish and fresh water fish.
I'm glad y'all always take the needed safety precautions. Recently, a guy I had went to high school with and his new wife were making candles and somehow one exploded into flames and he jumped on top of her to save her from the flames, and they both lived but with severe burns on a huge percentage of their bodies. He was very brave for what he did. I don't know how or why it happened, but it has made me fearful to make candles.
I love the background so much. I've spent the past like 20 minutes just looking at everything and being like "I remember when they made that! And that!!"
My grandparents had a bottle of sand art in their bathroom that was actually made from bath salts. I didn't think they made wax sand for candles.
Katelyn I GET you so much. That feeling like you aren’t being comprehended or listened to. I get it. Saaame. Your cult candle idea is really cool mini scene! No videos from TikTok or Instagram to pull up or compare it too. It’s really neat!
Lots of companies make granulated sand wax and are much less expensive! This used to be a super popular craft and ia just now getting trendy again
I remember when these were a thing when I was a kid, you'd layer them however you want at the fair or wherever it was and then they'd flash melt the top layer so it would sort of lock things in place.
at 1:01:20 when katelyn says "Top down please sir" It made me think, some not so pure thoughts about their relationship dynamic LOL
This brings me back to the 90's. I remember having these in craft kits to make little bead candles.
Katelyn: "I want to do something with orbeez and resin."
Me, mildly surprised she forgot the golden rule: "Ah, yes. Resin. Notoriously great with water." /j
I have made similar bead by just throwing wax in a food processor. They don't come out in uniform shape, but it is a lot cheaper to make similar item
OMG I HEAR THE PURRRRRRS!!! Thank you, Evan, for capturing this blessed audio
Lighting a candle while watching this stream to get the true 4D experience
42:50 "We'll place the cult members around the pentagram and light it, like they're doing a ritual! Won't that be nice?" 😂 ❤
the sideways fish is the drunk uncle. 🤣
I did these at the beach when I was a kid. They would use a blow torch to seal the top.
Orbees take 8 hours?! I love your videos I wish I saw the live 😢
I don't think it is quite 8 hours. They start expanding after a short time, but it takes a while for them to fully expand.
Faster if you use hot water.
@@frankiemillcarek6976 oh interesting!
Thank you fod your honest reaction to the advertisement hype. $200 is a damn lot, its e.g. a third of my rent, and it's cool to know there are mode affordable options. Also i just love your videos ❤
Random but your rent is only $600 🤯😢😅 Jealous. It's hard to find a studio for less than 1k here in Maryland
I’m in charge of a group of children where we learn about setting goals and balance our lives in 4 areas. My job is to provide activities to help them achieve those goals or figure out what goals they want to make. This gave me an idea for an activity! Thank you so much!
The excitement I felt when I saw this was an hour & a half was big guys
✨️
I lost my sweet kitty that looked so much like Jubie & hearing her purr really touched my heart today 💖 thanks Jubie💖
Back in the late 90's we had candle sand here in the UK
I have seen craft boxes with this type of “sand” wax candle crafts. Who ever this company is they are making a killing on people thinking it’s “new”. 😆
I immediately stopped the video and looked it up, because I didn’t know that’s a thing. I now want candle sand lol
Try vs DIY idea!!! Have y’all seen the sand art in picture frames that flip and change the orientation of the sand with every flip. I think you guys would have soo much fun recreating one ❤❤❤
This has suuuuper strong late 90’s early 2000’s vibes. Like could go in the themed bathroom my mom stenciled with fish or go with a squeegee or sponge painted room.
I think if you're making a decorative only piece, the cheap wax would be fine. But if you're planning on burning it, you're going to want to use nicer wax for the better quality and lack of harmful chemicals.
Thanks for sharing, E & K! ❤
This type of was has been around for years... I remember playing with it in the 90s as a kid, and we got it from a yard sale so it wasn't new then. And like candles made from it that were sand art adjacent but like wax grains. There's got to still be some off brand version of this wax kicking around
technically this is the off brand. This is like the gentrified version 😭😭
You guys are so fun and wholesome in an adult way. I wish you the best in your lives and journey on YT. Stay Goated 🫶🏼
Kaitlyn - "Let's use more Orbeez in shows."
Earth - (heavy sigh) thinking to self, "Great, they only take 1,000 years to decompose."
I'm literally 2min in and how wholesome is it watching you two experience waterbeads for the first time. If you like cloning or propagating any of your favorite plants, these work great for rooting substrate! I cloned a Gardenia and had 7 out of 8 success rate! I only expected 2-3 to make it. 😅
‘Grab the lighter he says’ as he grabs the wire cutters 😂😂😂😂😂😂
a cultist design in a glass cup and tentacles being buried beneath as they creep up to the summon would be really cool and also the shadows would fill the room
i loved these and the candles are done soo fast comparing to other crafts done live its amazing
The cult candle might be my favorite tbh! The execution of this idea is perfect
These kind of candles where popular in the late 90s. Instead of water and orbees there was special gel candle wax and they used wax fishes. This way you were able to burn all of your candle and it was less of a mess. The sand candle beads were used for all kind of designs and they were often used in craft kits for children. If you use a different brand they can be found cheaper.
I got little versions of this from the dollar tree actually.
They didn't have as much as this color selection wise and the scents weren't great, but it was cheap and fun to do with my son so it was definitely worth it.
About the weird orby top of the aquarium candle: Since the candle sand also floats on water alone, you could make sure there is about an inch more water in the container than orbies. Thas way you can still have the fish suspended in orbies, but the wachs-sand is floating on water only, creating a smooth underside.
For years (up until I moved) I had something I called a "soul jar" my mom used to buy my brother and I planter beads from the dollar store (before 'orbeez' became a thing and turned them into an expensive children's toy)
My soul jar was a jar filled with tiny unicorns, pegasuses, dragons, and orbeez. It was the best thing.
Lol my ornery side was chanting "drop it drop it" when Katelyn was bringing out the bowl of orbees.
The beads remind me of this cool little thing back in the 90s/00s in Gatlinburg, TN (or maybe Pigeon Forge or Gulf Shores, somewhere down here) where you could make little candles with beads. They had so many different colors. It was like $10 for a little votive glass and as much wax as you wanted. It burned terribly and had no scent, but it was really cool to my 10yo self.
Happy Sunday everyone! Evan and Katelyn, you're my favourite couple that I've never met, and Joobie is one of my favourite cats, period.
✌️& 🫶 from 🇨🇦
It would be so cool to redo the first aquarium candle with orbees but making it a snowball (Christmas themed)
those void eyes were honestly kind of cute. they had the cute little reflections
They all turned out so great!
Drawing a circle around the five points creates a symbol referred to as the pentacle, which is used widely by Wiccans and in paganism, or as a sign of life and connections. The word "pentagram" refers only to the five-pointed star, not the surrounding circle of a pentacle.
The plan transitions are so smooth ! Cant believe its live
Aww you guys that candle sand has been around since at least the 90s I remember doing it as a kid I used to love it
oh my gosh, these were on trend when I was in high school (many MANY years ago) and I made such a mess with them as someone who can't help mess around with a candle.
Same! I did a lot of weird bad candle crafts. Gel candles the most but I remember this stuff to.
Oooh you could make a zen garden candle complete with all the little tools ❤
I love your videos!!!!
You guys are my favorite UA-camrs!!!
Litter box was such a cute idea!!!!
I think the succulent terrarium, the final flower one, and the pentagram one were my favorites! The succulent is definitely #1
