Thank you for the honesty of saying that is not realistic to test every scent in you candle line every time you make candles! So true!

My favorite wax is the Luxe Soy from Sozo. I have been using it for a little over a year. I get smooth tops and almost no frosting, so far. I love your videos and want to thank you for making them. They are truly helpful.

I needed to hear this because I thought I was crazy. I was about to close my business!

[luckysportQuick]

I use several waxes: Soy 10, Coconut 83 blended with 487, Maksey’s Virgin Coconut Soy. My favorite is coconut 83 blend.

Congratulations on your sales up. May God continue to bless your business ❤

How is the cold thrown of Cerica compared to 464?

[IrishQ]

Slowly switching to C3. Found the cold and hot throw is fantastic plus 12 hour cure time is a bounce is a major bounce in Crunch. Testing, wicking, and replacing one scent at time so I don't get overwhelmed.

Thank you for that information. I'm disappointed b/c i just purchased a big box of 464.. and I'm also a beginner..!! What wax should i use for beginners????

[debhudock]

Hi I’m making all the candles for my daughters wedding. Unsented long burn what do I use. Help!
😊

[jessicamorrissette]

Hi Allen, 🙂 I'm curious if you've ever tried or worked with 454?

[KeikoKittenhearth]

I have this soy wax and I am thinking about changing it for kerasoy or for coconut wax, because my wax when pouring the consistency is grainy

[iAmPrincess]

I love ceda serica! I’ve tested other waxes but I always go back to coconut apricot wax.

[hildarobles]

Love all your tips... thank you! What wax do you recommend for pillar candles?

[declanosbourne]

Can you share a link to the stick thermometer that you mentioned in your video?

[jessmorthiele]

This was soooo helpful. My gosh!! I was like wth happened to my candles!! It's the 464 is SO inconsistent!!! I am definitely not gonna be purchasing 464 ever again. I also guarantee my candles, I have high expectations but having candle look like it curdled!! Geez lol I've been trying to fix them day long. I'm over it.

[julies.ancelet]

Hi Allen, I am using your blend. My husband is a beekeeper and we have an abundance of beeswax. The blend helps me tie in with our hive products. I have had a few issues with hot throw recently. What soy do you recommend to try in its place of the blend? Thank you 😍

[Shedthelightcandleco]

I would like to know what kind of deco is on top of your mistletoe candle wax? It is so pretty. I have been tempted to try cut glass, will that be okay to use to sprinkle a little on the top?

[kbingham]

I have been making candles since 2005. I strictly make them for myself, and periodically give them away. I am always testing new things and am currently playing with 4636 and 6006. I still play with my original blended wax, 415 and beeswax. Sometimes I add a little coconut oil in it. But the 415 and beeswax has always given me a nice soy candle with smooth tops and good throw.

[CharlieLaDue-mb]

Finally someone that is using common sense. I find it so costly to have to constantly test a dozen candles EVERY time. If something works I want to have fun making them over again without assuming future problems and wasting wax, wicks and vessels every time. I agree here and there. Everyone who constantly says test test test ... You scared me enough that I didnt want to even try. Thank you.

[paulanoyes]

I’m so glad you did this video! I keep trying to make 464 work for me but I’ve had the same inconsistency issues for a while now. I just make candles for friends and family but I want them to be as good as I can make them. I’ve learned so much from you ! Love your videos! Personally, I use #7, #3 and coco apricot crème with great results!❤
