Smart thinking! Love money & time saving ideas for us mad scientist candle makers ❤

[shanamarie]

I will definitely try this! I also heard if you freeze your candle you can pop out the wax and reuse jar. ❤️❤️❤️

Won’t God do it! Girl u are my ram in the bush. When I tell you that I am SICK of pouring candles to rest wooden wicks. This video is a God send. Thanks- I definitely will be trying out this method!

Jeff Standley from Standleyhandcrafted has a video on how test with cotton wicks also

Ooo Paris! Bay bay! Bless you. I'm going through it right now with the wooden wick and this saved me from melting down the wax all over again and yada yada.

You're the best! I've been watching all of your videos and I appreciate the time, consistency, and effort you put in all to help us! Thank you 💖

I’m thinking about trying out wooden wicks! I have a candle business of my own!

[musicwalla]

Thank you for a great tip, I am thinking of switching to wooden wicks . This will be very useful.

I have seen several videos on wickless testing. You should initially pour the wax into the Container without a wick, this way you can dip the wick in the wax once cooled. Then test out the wicks and easily take each one out as you need to alternate

Thank you for sharing!
Can you do a video for packaging?!?

[chaunikasmith]

I’m in my testing phase thank you so much!

[alejandrabarrios]

Hi Paris, thank you so much for your helpful videos. I have a question for you, how many days I should have to cure my candles? Thanks ♥️

[nenamarin]

I do this with cotton wicks it saves so much time😊

[marcie]

Can you give a link where you get that wick your using ❤.

What’s the trick to WOOD wicks? I have a 12 oz Amber jar with a width across the top of 3.55” and the base of the jar is 3.25”. What’s size wood wick and brand would you recommend? In the past I randomly tried a wooden wick from Amazon and it was probably the wrong size, but I could barely get it to light and then it wouldn’t stay lit.

[featuringmathew]

Thank you so much for this tip! Do you do this with every fragrance that you come out with?

[nicki]

Hey girl I’ve tried every cotton wick and I bought some wooden wicks from Amazon before and maybe that’s where I went wrong. Do the cotton wicks stay lit or do they often go out ?

[nancyogunyemi]

This is helpful!!!! Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️

[JessiV]

apparently not all cotton wicks are compatible with every fragrance oil. you can have the perfect combo of wax & wick but everything can be thrown out of whack because of the fragrance oil. some people have to use different wicks with different fragrance oils. is this also the case with wooden wicks?

[danamoreland]

Hi,
Thank you for the informative video. It is very helpful, especially if you are new to wooden wicks like me! So I made a candle with a large wooden wick in a 3.5 (diameter) straight jar and it produced some tunnelling🥺. I’m assuming that the wick is too small so I want to test with the extra large wick. Can your suggested testing method work on tunnelling candles too???
