love your video and all your plants. I also loveee that same wax, but moved out of CA a year ago. so now I cant buy it anymore because with shipping costs I could not profit.. inflation and shipping prices are insane. I fortunately found a small supplier by my house and of course it's not the same but it's very close.. if I can't pick up the wax in person it's not just not profitable for me and I want to keep it soy .. . I also love the white only and really never worry about frosting.. excellent tutortial!!

I know that you can blend waxes BUT I have not done that so I can’t recommend a wax or ratio. I know that 464 is a soft wax and I actually use TW30 because if the higher FO load and hardness.

my liquid gram and solid grams are never the same. I would calculated the solid wax in grams and I get my 4 clam shell filled and have even 17g left over when I melt it. when melt the wax ( just use a huge wax melter) and then pour it to 255 grams it only fill 3 and nothing left over to fill a sample.

If you have a lot of wax in the Presto pot that is left over can you reheat it the next day or do you just through the wax away if you wanted to make only one clamshell how much wax and oil you use love your video

I leave the unused melted wax in my presto pot. I just make sure to keep it covered so no debris or dirt get into it. And for one wax melt you would just divide the formula that I have in the description box for the video by 6. My formula is for 6 clam shells.

@scampos612
3 жыл бұрын
Thank you for watching! No, you don't have to rename the fragrance if you don't want to. I rename them just to give my candles their own identity. However if you are using a fragrance that is named specifically after a popular name, for example Love Spell by Victoria Secrets, I would check with the company to make sure that you can use that name. I have a candle with that fragrance and I call it Fall in Love. I hope this information helps!

I was brave enough to order a case after reading all the reviews but for some reason it's not as good (for me at least) as everyone says. If you can offer any help, I'd appreciate it. Thank you!

I use my Presto Pot and it heats the wax pretty fast. It depends on how full you have it and what temperature you use to start with. For example, I fill my pot all the way up and then turn the heat up to about 350°. I watch it very carefully because I don’t want to over heat my wax. It usually takes around 5-10 mins to heat.

@@scampos612 If you have an oil that has a low flashpoint say like (145-146) do you still add it at 180 to your wax or do you add lower? I was curious if it would burn off some of the notes for oils that are that low of flashpoint.
@scampos612
2 жыл бұрын
So the flashpoint is the temperature at which the oil could catch on fire if it comes in contact with flame. Now you can add the fragrance oil to wax that is at 180° however it depends on the oil itself what your throw will end up being. All fragrance oils are different. I’ve never had an issue with my cold or hot throw when I add it to 180° wax. Are use fragrance oils from Cierra Candle

@@scampos612 I just bought the ones you mentioned in your video-the Jungle Goddess and the Cool Water. The one I was mentioning that has a low flashpoint was Fruit Loops by Flaming Candle and I believe it is 146. I didn't want to add it at high of a temp then having the scent disappear. Fruit Loops is a best seller for me. I use my own personal blend of wax but wanted to try something different and use the TW-30 because it is solid.

Those aluminum pitchers are $7, the small ones are $4 - any wholesale candle supply site has them cheap. The $$ priced ones are on Amazon and at retail stores. Not very budget friendly. Also, when you see soy “blend” it generally means it’s blended with another type of wax… like paraffin. 100% soy wax is super soft… so….
