How to Make the PERFECT 464 CANDLE (Part 1) | 464 Soy Wax | Pour Temp, Vybar, Frosting, Jar Adhesion

#CandleMaking #464SoyWax #SoyWaxProblems

I am on a mission...along with all of you... to make the perfect candle (or the best candle we can) with different waxes. Today we use 464 wax. 464 Soy wax has its advantages and disadvantages like all waxes. In this video, We focus on the visuals. I do some testing to tackle a few of those issues like sink holes, frosting, rough tops and surfaces, etc. In later videos we will also test for wicking and hot throw.

DISLAIMER: My intention is not to claim one right way to make a good or perfect candle. This video is part of a series searching for ways to improve our candles with various waxes. Results will vary and are not a guarantee. They are based off of my own experiences and opinions. Results may change over time with additional testing.

First of MANY videos coming in this series. Over the course of the series, we will test several waxes, jars wicks looking for everything from appearance to wicking to hot throw, etc. This video covers tackling some surface issues and other issues with 464. Don't forget to subscribe to catch all future and past videos! Thanks everyone!

I have been working with 464 since July, it’s the first wax and only wax I have used. I stick with what I have learned, heat the wax to 185-190…pour in the FO 8%, stir for about one minute. Set aside and let cool to 155-130 and pour in the jar. I have had a success rate of about 90%. I personally have had pretty good luck with 464. At first I started with cotton wicks, and switched to wood wicks. So far I’m pleased with 464.

Your intro was hilarious! I swear, you are as animated as a 16 years old being told to throw out the trash

Thank you so much for providing tuition free candle courses! I feel like I’m going to school every time I click on one of your videos! I am a soap maker and want to add candles to my product line. I am in that stage where you are obsessively researching and dreaming about getting started. Last night I was pouring wax in my dreams😂, but you have taught me to pause and learn as much as I can before jumping in! It is so so hard not to rush out and buy everything to get started, but I know I am saving tears, sweat, and money in the long run!

Not sure if you check comments on old videos, but I have to tell you, I have watched so many of your videos and you have been SO INCREDIBLY HELPFUL. You get straight to the point and there's something about you that's super comforting when one (me) is delving into a new area, candle making. It's your attitude and your tone. Like a good friend just helping you out. I really appreciate you. Can't wait to send you a sample for your perusal and roast? There I go, putting the carriage in front of the horse. I haven't even made my first candle or melt but I have done a sh*ton of research and am waiting on all of my supplies to get to me. You and Memory Box are my go to people! THANK YOU SO MUCH.

When you threw away those candles it made my whole day! I was coming here after about 3 weeks of 464 ups and downs. Thanks for the video. You really did make me smile.

Omggg the candle god heard my prayers 😂😂😂 thank you for doing this one!!

[kirstencorby]

Slightly freaked out by how comprehensive this is. :)

I pour my 464 soy between 115-120 and don’t have issues with catering, caving, sinkholes and I get smooth tops every time. 💜

I use 464 and love it. Heat to 186°, fragrance oil at 183°, stir slowly for 2 minutes and then let cool, pour at 155°. Perfect jar adhesion, perfect smooth tops, perfect hot and cold throw.

Make sure to stir slowly. He stirred really fast which can cause air bubbles which in turn can cause the sink holes

I've found your page recently and this is entirely relatable. I'm ab to cry from wooden wick testing - thanks for your help

[agatakingsbury]

Perfect timing for me! Today I decided to learn how to make 464 candles. I have no clue what to do. I only make wax melts and soap. Thanks for all the information!

[Jeniveve]

I started with 464 and was unimpressed, then bought coco beeswax and don’t have the heart to use it cuz it so expensive. Then bought ecosoya advanced and hate it. Now I have hemp soy, but I did throw in a bag of 464 wax when I bought my tart wax.

I was just going to make some whatever candles for personal use with my 464 and holy hell. The HT was amazing!!!! I was happy but equally annoyed!!!

So many waxidents! (See what I did there?) 😏

Thanks for this video. Love the direction of where your channel is going. 😃

[pravinapravin]

Very informative and really good since we as candle maker and beginners are struggling with, thank you once again- regards Pravina ( India)

[mycreativestudiosudsflicke]

Lol the trashing throwing oh man your info is spot on i will share this video with other candle makers thanks again for share

[yssyk]

Thank you, I am so excited to learn more about candle issues. For me it is like tutorial learning in video 👍 .

[nigelgregory]

Hello from the UK, I've just found you and subscribed, as someone who is thinking of a change of career and a small business I was thinking of candle making so did the obvious and came to you tube, great to find you and a great presentation 👍👍

[JSProjectWild]

Liked this vid! Getting ready to make my first soy candle.

[Omayra]

Oh, another series that I'll be watching FOR SURE! Thank you. I use 464. It's the only wax I use and so far loving it. I am in Jacksonville, FL, and have noticed that the house/studio temperature is a factor I need to consider when pouring. I pour with a house temp between 75-78 degrees and get mainly perfect tops, without warming up my vessels (I also use square mason jars). Could you give some input on your studio temp while pouring? Just curious about that variable.
