Hey guys, do you mind me boasting for a second? My genius welding-wizard husband made a wax melter for me that holds 25kg, it‘s made the process sooo much faster 😍 That’s it, boast over- have a great weekend! 😬

Dang I was trying to avoid this. Thankfully I have some good guesses on wick sizing for most of my candles, so I won’t have to make a million candles with a million different wicks. Thank you!

Thank you Belinda! I'll place my order and update here if it's the cotton candy I've been looking for.

Always test the final application as it would be going out the door. The middle burns VERY different when started at the middle versus the top.

Unfortunately testing half filled will not yield 100% accurate results. A candle burns differently at the top than it does further down when more heat is held inside the vessel. You should always test the product exactly as you are going to sell it, and test the entire candle from top to bottom. Also fully test any time any single element is changed....FO, wick, dye, etc.

i really like Plumberry Spice , Bonfire Bliss and Rustic Lodge. Winter Wonderland is the best seasonal scent for the winter holiday season IMO.

@jmspgh Don't be scared of mixing waxes, oils & vegetable shortenings! It will take several tries to make it work, but it is not that hard thing to do. Treat Paraffin or Coconut wax as main body wax, and treat all other waxes, oils & shortening as enhancer and/or additives. Ratio of main body wax should be about 70 to 80% and others are remaining percentage, but you can increase or decrease however you like to. Also, try not to use pre-blend waxes as the main body of wax! Here are some wax blend ingredients of name brand companies' candles! I don't have mix ratio,
