White Scented Soy Wax Pillar Candle

Author Callum Vincent shares his knowledge about Candle Waxes with us.

As the popularity of candles as a whole continues to soar, the demand for candle making material also continues to rise perennially. From among the various constituent elements that are required form, needless to say, candle making wax holds center stage as it is the primary ingredient. While candles in the yesteryears were made from tallow, which was essentially animal fat – something relatively easily available in those days, these candles also had distinct disadvantages in terms of a distinct foul smell as well as emission of heavy smoke.

Double Wick Scented Soy Candle How to Video

How To Make Double Wicked Scented Soy Candles Video

When it gets right down to it, the larger container candles need more candle wick. This is necessary to provide the appropriate amount of heat required to create a melt pool that fully covers the candle surface. If you do not have the correct wick sizes, or quantites, tunneling will occur because the full surface of the wax is not consumed as the wax is burned.

See the article I wrote on candle burning problems for more specifics.

So on that note, I made this double wicked scented soy candle using a tangerine fragrance, and turned it into a video. Because wick placement correct wick placement is so important, I showed you one of the ways that I use the wicks in combination with a dowel rod, and a glue gun to secure the candle wicks exactly where I want them before I pour the soy candle wax.

Should I use an electric candle wax melter or a candle warmer?”

I wanted to post this article so you can have options to consider when you want to use your soy wax melts.

Do you want to use a traditional candle warmer with candles lit underneath them, or would you like to use an electric candle warmer?  Read the rest of this entry »

Can An Additive Make Soy Wax Last Longer?

Help! Is there anything natural, or any type of additive that can be mixed into  candle wax to make it last longer? What about a soy blend wax, or palm wax?  I do not want to buy a lot of candle wax, because it is so expensive. Will adding fabric softener,  lotions, or shampoo increase the volume of the candle wax, and still burn?

Comments will be welcome, but I felt I should make a blog post in response to Shirley’s question posted under the blog comments instead of responding to her via email.

 Candle safety is a primary consideration.

Personally, I would not consider it safe to add any additive to a candle wax product you intend to burn, unless it is approved by the National Candle Association.   Read the rest of this entry »
