@JustTryAndTry The form that the wax is in doesn't matter. To my knowledge all US produced soy wax is flaked. But if you can get high quality soy wax in slabs it should work fine.

@afkeyes Thank you for the compliment! We recommend pouring CB Adv at 125, you may want to try that. Also since we made this video we have switched from glue dots to the wick stickums we sell on the site now. The stickums work much better and will almost never pop off the bottom of a clean conta...

@icekat83 If you want to make soy pillars you should use wax specifically made for that application. We recommend Ecosoya PB Pillar Blend.

@afkeyes
Q: I don't get how a pound of wax makes 3 8-ounce candles.
A: Containers are rated in volume ounces, not weight ounces. If you look at the containers on our site we show the conversion. A pound of wax fills 3 8 oz containers by volume.
Q:if I purchased a different type of soy wax shou...

@liukitty Unfortunately I am not familiar with shipping policies of other sites. I just searched Google for 'UK soy wax' and found several local distributors.

@leonardo1480 Indentation is usually caused by shrinkage and can happen with any type of wax. Make sure to use recommended pour temperatures to minimize shrinkage. Also stick to waxes that are described as 'one pour'.

@IceQueensAngel1985 It's tough to say without knowing what type of paraffin you used. Different paraffins can have very different appearances. If you are using one of our waxes contact us through our website, it's linked in the description. Glad you like the video!

@paulbrennan23 We do not have a time frame for shipping internationally at this time. The best thing would be to search for 'candle fragrance oil UK'.

@southern8127 135 is the best temperature. Just remove the wax from the heat and stir occasionally while monitoring the temperature. It will not be hard to hit 135 on the dot. Consistent pour temperatures are very important to making quality candles.

@heavymetal691 The white film is something that just happens with soy wax. If you really want to avoid it you should use a different wax.

We are testing wooden wicks internally, but I am not sure if or when we will carry them.

@aquagirl626 A 10lb bag of Golden Brands 464 would only cost you $14 at candlescience, which would be enough to make 30 of these 8oz tins. Once you add in fragrance, wick, and dye that would come to about $3 per candle. These make great gifts and can be very profitable if you decide to sell the...

@rmbb10 Thanks! We recommend tins for beginners, you might want to try them first. Otherwise the Status Jar is really great since the sides are parallel and it's a manageable diameter for soy wicking (3" instead of 4" in the apothecary). We recommend preheating jars to the same temperature as the...

@rmbb10 Rough tops are generally caused by fragrance. Make sure you are weighting the right amount of fragrance, adding it hot (185 degrees F), and stirring well (2 mins). That will usually fix the problem.

@AUSNick87 No, in fact it tends to be the opposite. Anything you add to a candle will tend to slow the burn. So generally speaking a colored candle will burn slower than an white candle using the same wick.

@xxkleenexrockxx If kept at a high temperature for too long certain FOs will lose strength. We recommend adding hot to make sure the FO can fully dissolve, but then not leaving the FO hot for very long.
