This is my absolute favorite channel when it comes to candle making. Always such great information explained so clear and helpful. I Never miss a vlog 😊 Happy Holidays to you and your fam! 🎄🎄🎄
You always continue to amaze me!!! Thank you for all you do!!! If you have time I was wondering which you think has the best throw and sheen Problend 650 or pillar of bliss for clam shells please? I’ve been working on candles but have thought of adding melts. Again you ARE the absolute go to and the best!!!
I love your videos! just subscribed! can't wait to get started myself. Where do you get your black tumbler jars? What are your thoughts on a overseas seller like alibaba?
Thanks. The ones you are seeing are from Aztec. Horrible pricing right now unfortunately. Alabama is totally fine just shop carefully, looks for good ratings, and plan way in advance. For bulk.... it's great but wow it can take a while several months sometimes
Yo Wade what’s up big guy? Hope you’re continuing to live your best life 🤟🏾. Hey I have a question for you. U recommend the thermal shipping label maker and I happened to have already purchased a similar one. They’re not “use ready” out the box and require a program or app to run. Is there a particular software that you recommend or use to run the label maker?
Hey! Thanks! Not really sure what you mean. It should connect like any printer and you just print your labels to that printer. I'm not really aware of any thermal label printers that require an app.
Thank you for these great suggestions! So, I have a question for you if you've tried them - I love the look of the teal pouring pitcher, but the last pouring pitcher I bought from a larger, more boujee candle making supply store, the pitcher started to chip the coating after a few months. I'd think it was just me, but it happened to someone I gifted one to - has this been anyone's experience? Also, one suggestion I always make as a nurse candlemaker is trauma shears for wick trimming on cotton wicks. I've never had a cleaner cut! Happy making and thanks for the video!
Thankyou this video was really helpful and interesting,Happy Christmas to you and your family. cant wait for more videos especially your new premise, i also love your new website.question do you ship to the UK,
Hi Wade, you mentioned the Rollo label maker. Do you use it to make your labels for your candles or were you referring to shipping labels? If you were referring to shipping labels do you have any recommendations for an at home candle label makers if i run out and don’t have time to wait for a shipment from Sticker Mule.
Can’t believe how fast I received my wicks! I seriously wasn’t expecting them until after Christmas and was totally fine with that but to my surprise, they made it all the way to NY! Thanks Wade! Can’t wait to try them!
They all have the place for sure. But biggest difference are: Cd and eco both have paper threads woven in and a different type of cotton braiding. Premier is cotton core through and through. No paper. They don't lean near as bad as htp and cd do if wicked properly. But depends a lot on wax too. Softer waxes cause more leaning then others. Premiers have a small bend curl to help with efficient burning but not so much the fall over like htp or cd often does. But by far the best part for me is the incremental sizing. It's nearly impossible NOT to find the right size whereas others it feels like a big jump between sizes. And premiers are manufactured in u.s. in new jersey specifically if your curious. Hope that helps
Hi. Thanks as always for your informative videos! I currently use HTP105 in 464 with 10% fragrance load in 9 ounce straight sided. Looking to maybe explore different wicks although I think these are working fine. What size Premier wick would you recommend? Thank you!!
Hey Wade, just wanting to jump in and say congratulations - I'm so happy for you and becoming a distributor! Wooh that's epic. Too bad I'm in the UK. I guess your next move is World domination. Mwah ha ha ha (evil candle scientist laugh)!
Hi Wade, thank you for this great info. You are amazing. I'm looking forward to and excited about the video FO and Dye video. I"m ordering now the wick you recommended from your website. I have a question which wax do you use the most?
I’m curious about the premier wicks. I just clicked on the link. There aren’t any recommendations for what candle jars to use with them. Any thoughts on 464 8 ounce tins, for example? Great video as always!
A few years ago a friend showed me how she makes her soy candles and then suggested a kit. I fell in love and then she gave me the resources she used. I am now getting brave and trying different waxes. Started with 444 frosting is making me nuts so a few months ago switched to 464 because supposedly less wet spots and frosting but I didn’t find that so got a small batch of coconut soy, not sure I like it so in a few days I will be venturing into your territory of 6006 - I love colors so looking forward to testing that wax. ❤
I have an infrared thermometer and I'm pretty sure it is shooting through my melted wax and measuring the surface temp of my insta pot lol. I opted for a long old fashioned one that you clip to the side of the pot instead.
Great I'm ready to be your first starter in your class of a beginner ✌🏾☝🏽🧡💚🌿💛💜🌿🖤🤎🙌🏽🤝🏽🙏🏽 thank you San Fernando Valley Tujunga California USA appreciate you sharing and caring for us
Just had a horrible interaction with a candle/soaper who was "retired" and moving.... Just ask what one of her melts scent was and where it was from. She proceeded to basically leave conversation and block me. U helping others is righting the wrong that some extremely jealous and it aggressive makers, so unwilling to share.
@@BlackTieBarn thank you very much, i now at least have a starting point for my first batch of testers, thank you so much for all the video's you put out helping people like me, much love from the UK xx
This is great, I totally forgot about the wick centering kit and I’m needing some. May be too late for Christmas this year, but will rewatch this next year for sure!
Thank you so much!!! I wanted to ask which wax would be ideal for pillar candles? You mentioned the silicone molds that I also use but I would like to try different kind of wax and was wondering if anyone has a better idea?
I'm not an expert on pillar candles... at least yet. Plan to do more with them in the future. But some population choices include pillar of bliss, problend 650, igi 4625. But there are plenty others as well
Hi Wade - your videos are extremely informative and there's so much to learn from each of them, to the extent that it becomes overwhelming for a newbie like me. Do you do one on one consulting? If yes, I would be definitely interested.

I ordered some wick placement devices from Norden the beginning of the month, they must be very busy!!!!!
Yah.... they are. Lol

Same wax, different branding (same manufacturer). So... the same ht

Great advice on the trimmers. As far as the chipping. I've never had that happen personally but I could definitely see it being possible
Thankyou this video was really helpful and interesting,Happy Christmas to you and your family. cant wait for more videos especially your new premise, i also love your new website.question do you ship to the UK,
Thanks not yet. But I'm looking into it!

If you were referring to shipping labels do you have any recommendations for an at home candle label makers if i run out and don’t have time to wait for a shipment from Sticker Mule.
Hey Chad. Shipping labels.
But you can order blank labels from onlinelabels.com and then print your own. I have a video on this in near future
Can’t believe how fast I received my wicks! I seriously wasn’t expecting them until after Christmas and was totally fine with that but to my surprise, they made it all the way to NY! Thanks Wade! Can’t wait to try them!
🤗🤗😀 thanks so much for the kind comments. Appreciate it!
Thank you. With this video my confidence has grown. Most of the items I already have . Thanks again
Awesome
I told my best friend/sister to buy me paper towels, she understood the assignment and bought me a box of them. ;)
Ha ha. Perfect!
I was planning to sell wick trimmers with the candles. Are you aware of a way to order in bulk at a lower price point than Amazon?
Not really unfortunately. But didn't dig a ton into it
Hi wade what is the difference between your premier wick and the Cd wick also the Eco wicks?
They all have the place for sure. But biggest difference are:
Cd and eco both have paper threads woven in and a different type of cotton braiding. Premier is cotton core through and through. No paper. They don't lean near as bad as htp and cd do if wicked properly. But depends a lot on wax too. Softer waxes cause more leaning then others.
Premiers have a small bend curl to help with efficient burning but not so much the fall over like htp or cd often does.
But by far the best part for me is the incremental sizing. It's nearly impossible NOT to find the right size whereas others it feels like a big jump between sizes.
And premiers are manufactured in u.s. in new jersey specifically if your curious.
Hope that helps
Thanks Wade! Awesome information and can't wait to try your new wicks!
Thanks cheryl!
Hi. Thanks as always for your informative videos! I currently use HTP105 in 464 with 10% fragrance load in 9 ounce straight sided. Looking to maybe explore different wicks although I think these are working fine.
What size Premier wick would you recommend? Thank you!!
Hi, what jar? I'd recommend sampling a few. I don't really use that wax and without knowing your jar I can't really say
@@BlackTieBarn Hi. I use 9 ounce straight sided from flaming candle. Thanks...will probably end up trying the sample pack. Thank you!
My Norden order is coming this week!! I am so excited!
Awesome!!!!
Hey Wade, just wanting to jump in and say congratulations - I'm so happy for you and becoming a distributor! Wooh that's epic. Too bad I'm in the UK. I guess your next move is World domination. Mwah ha ha ha (evil candle scientist laugh)!
Thanks! And trust me... I'd love to take a trip there. I'll just have to bring supplies 🤣
@@BlackTieBarn Anytime. Come and see my studio. Bring thermals!
Hi Wade, thank you for this great info. You are amazing. I'm looking forward to and excited about the video FO and Dye video.
I"m ordering now the wick you recommended from your website. I have a question which wax do you use the most?
Probably problend 600 the most

🤣🤣 thanks Michelle. I can have all the items waiting for in when you get here. Lol

The Infrareds actually measaure the first thing it hits.... although if super clear or translucent that may be difficult. Lol
@@BlackTieBarn I hear you. I thought that as well, until the thermometer read 300°. Maybe the batteries just need to be replaced
Wow! I'm soo excited! Can't wait to join/watch the new up coming classes. Thank you for all the info!
No problem! Thanks!
Wade, I found the website you purchase your jars at.. Thank you!!
