as an art student struggling to draw fire, i find myself time and again coming back to this video because it has so much excellent reference footage lol

E and K: Sarcastically jokes about using a wooden base for a flammable candle
Also E and K: Builds a wooden base for a flammable candle

I love that Evan thought putting the bag on a high shelf because "you're too short" would stop you 😂 he should know by now that short people are 10x more squirrely than average people, and we can and will climb anything necessary to get what we want!

When I was a teenager, my friend and I thought it would be a great idea to go outside and light 100 tealight candles all at once. The wax fused together and created a flame that burned a hole in the shadecloth of the patio. Thanks for reminding me of the folly of my youth hahahaha

That's the John Wick of the candle world!

[sophiapontiga]

Evan and Katelyn's content just went from being resin DIYS to just purely chaos

[SeraliaAerials]

“It’s not optimized” is the best thing Evan has said in this whole video

[danielpedigo]

I expected Katlyn to add the poop spray as a scent without Evan knowing 🤣

A tip for valentines day. A strawberry scented candle can be romantic, a thousand wick strawberry scented candle will be a thousand times more romantic.

The continuous cut to the footage of the burning house is peak comedy 😂

[CBWBS]

Seeing this candle trajectory, I bet it's only a matter of time until Evan and Katelyn experiments with making a fire tornado with box fans.

Not sure if I am the only one to notice. But the metal container was advertised as galvanized. Which means that there is a chance that the smoke was due to burning the zinc. Hope you both are okay.

Anyone else think Evan and Katelyn demonstrate solid relationship goals? Teamwork, Communication, Problem Solving, Love and Kindness... WITH AS MUCH CHAOS AND MAYHEM AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE!

10:53 to 12:36 was the absolute hardest I have laughed in YEARS. I was CRYING. I couldn't BREATHE. I feel like I've done a full ab workout or something. ohh, laughing that hard hurt so much. I managed to calm down a little and then Katelyn revealed that she knew the whereabouts of the spray and Evan's incredulous "YOU'VE KNOWN ?!!?!?" had me rolling on the floor all over again. MAN that was funny !

the fire was beautiful while it burned and that slowmo of putting it out was GORGEOUS. I'd say that this project is an absolute win :D

I desperately need an update from Katelyn on Evan’s reactions to the poop spray heist.

Hi! I’m a chandler (candle maker) and I can explain what happened when the wicks “disappeared”. It’s not actually the wax that’s on fire! The wax is evaporating rapidly, and what’s fueling the candle at that point is actually the fragrance! The fragrance blends are often oil, alcohol, and other flammable materials. It looks like your fire actually burned the wicks faster than the wax could melt at the start & that’s why they disappeared. Love a good campfire candle though!

[moonbasket]

After watching this a second time with my sister, I have some thoughts for BIG Candle mark 2.
1) there is specialized glue for candle wicks that won't melt when you pour the wax in. It keeps them from floating up when you pour the wax in.
2) it may be actually easier to hand place the wicks, but use a jig to mark where to place each one with colored powder. This is commonly used to marking sewing pattern edges.
3) different candle wicks have different melt radiuses, so you could make a super wide candle by spacing out the wicks more and utilizing their melt radiuses.
4) definitely make it poop scented.

I absolutely love how they went from small trinkets and life hacks to these chaotic creations. Never stop please.

[kaspas]

ah yes, the phases of E&K:
how to make something out of resin
how to make something out of wood
how to make something huge

[lacytaylor]

I would love to see you guys make a dipped and carved candle. Those things are gorgeous and you guys could get so creative.
