The answer: cure your candles! I found two cases I made in the summer and forgot about! They smell AMAZING!

Another great video, Erica! Thanks for always sharing your journey with us. I launched my candle business last November and have been following you since August of that year. As a disabled maker, your videos were a huge part of what gave me the confidence to finally do what I'd been dreaming to do. It was the best decision and its partly down to you 😍

Hi ! I am new in the candle making. As I hear all what you say I could not help myself and I decided to write my experience that can give more light about this topic and maybe could contradict some of the things you are saying here. Not my intention to do that, it is just my need to share my personal experience. I did a testing candle with a metal tin of 2.5" diameter, placed a WI767 wick for a C6 wax with 1 gram of Crisco, and use 7.5% of fragrance oil -Cinnamon from American Candle Supply Co. I let it cure for 13 days. Results: Tin never got hot; no mushroom; the flame didn't consume all the wax, but...OMG the hot throu was amazing. My house is big and long. I could smell the cinnamon all the way down the living room, the dining room and 3 bedrooms, until the back entrance of my house by the Kitchen.
I don't know if it was the quality of the fragrance, or the additive (Crisco-very small amount), but that hot throw I have never got it from any other of my testing. Thank you for reading this long comment. God bless you!

HI Erica, I use EC-26 Coconut Soy with all wooden wicks, I have not had any problems with 10%FO using this combination for anyone who has questions about Wooden wicks.

Dude you are SO INSPIRING 😩 thank you for making all of these videos. Thanks to you I finally got my own Etsy shop open, keep doing what you do 😁

I've made my first set of candles tonight! Yaye! Now I just need the patience to wait for 2 weeks

[lkwittmayer]

This is great video!!!! I plan on getting started on videos and just give everyone a starting point, With jar, wax, wick and FO, that i think works great then they can take it from there.

This could not have come at a better time!! Also I was rewatching one of your old videos and you mentioned trying to find a local supplier to cut down shipping costs and time. I took that advice and found one not even 10 miles from me. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!

Kevin's videos are amazing especially if you're a detail oriented person like myself.

[reginawallace]

Thank you so much dear Erica. I am trying to get into candle business and I am learning a lot from you. May God bless you and the works of your hands.

[chrivedy]

Another great and helpful video! Thanks Erica

[xoblkgirl]

Such a fan. Another amazing video. Virtual classes maybe? You're really good explaining and teaching

[daynightcandles]

Hey Erica, just a quick question, I can't find the video where you say the diameter of your Large candle vessel, also what is a diameter that you recommend and that is better to double wick? Something over 3" ?
