Looks like fun!
ОтветитьHi. How many degrees of immersion?
Ответитьthank you for this tutorial. i’ve been wanting to learn how to do dipped taper.
ОтветитьElectricity was invented more than 120 years ago. Why do u need candles.
ОтветитьI love this! What a great mom you are exposing your girls to this kind of craft and skill! I'm doing this with a small tutoring class that I have. We read a book similar to "Little House on the Prairie" and are trying out making our own candles, dyes from nature to paint, etc. Much appreciation! Two questions, please: do you have the measurements for the wooden candle rack (I have to make one) and how did you cut the top of the can off - what type of metal cutter - and how did you smooth the edges? Thank you!
ОтветитьSo lovely to watch you as a family making your candles ..what a lovely video regards from uk 🇬🇧
ОтветитьSuch a nice family project. I did this many years ago in my early jr high school days. I never progressed past two at a time, using tennis ball cans. I have recently started candle making again as a retirement prepping hobbiest level of container and molded candles. I have been looking for the right size dipping container but everything is plastic these days. You have given me a push to start looking more intently again. Thanks
ОтветитьI made hand dipped candles last spring after watching yours and a couple other videos. I only now burned the first one and I don't think I picked a good size wick. Do your burn clean? Can you clarify what you use for wicking? My wicks burn dropping black wick crumbs quite a bit.
Thanks
I am a beekeeper. Contact a local beekeepers club and talk to some of the beekeepers to get wax. You will get better guilty wax.
I sell bees wax to many candle makers and those that do a lot of wood working.
Are these true taper candles (3/4" diameter)? Have you ever made chime candles (1/2" diameter)? What wick size would you use for a smaller candle?
ОтветитьWonderful to see your family enjoying this project 💕🍂
ОтветитьWhere can I purchase a metal tin for the beeswax?
ОтветитьHow long do you wait to cool the candles after each dip?
ОтветитьHi! just lovely! I want to make tapers in larger quantities as it is so much more affordable than purchasing from the store..
What dimensions is the wooden frame? I'd love to build one of my own!
Sympathies to the left out middle child.
ОтветитьHi. I tried my own candles today. Its been fun! But I feel like someone, somewhere, out of the 20 diffrent hand dipped candle making videos i watched, should have noted that if your wax is TOO HOT then it won't stick to the wick, or the previous dip. I sat here for an hour dipping these candles and nothing happened. They weren't getting any thicker. I then realized my wax was too hot and it was just melting the previous wax dip I did 🙃😂
ОтветитьCan you add color to the wax for a colored candle?
ОтветитьSuch an adorable family. The girls are so lovely like their mom❤
Ответитьbeautifulllllll
ОтветитьWhile the water bath setup you have is safer than heating the wax directly on a burner, it is NOT a double boiler. For that, you need the wax container suspended in the water and not touching the bottom of the water pot. While the wax will not get hot enough to be a fire hazard, it could get hot enough to discolor (darken) the wax and possibly even burn it a bit.
Make the rack with more space between the rack bars and the wick supporting bars longer. It makes the setup more tolerant of slips in coordination.
There will be quite a bit of wax on the bottom with no wick in it. You can cut that wax off when the candle is close to being finished and remelt it. The last two or three dips will smooth up and finish the bottom nice.
Are there other types of wax I can use? I can't find bees wax
Ответитьtoo tedious really.
ОтветитьI really enjoyed the video!
ОтветитьOne of the best home set ups for dipping candles I've seen... Thanks
ОтветитьI guess I just don't mind a small amount of bees wax on my pot or counter. It isn't going to hurt me. I use a double boiler set up but now looking into hand dipped candles. Funny thing, I did keep a large olive oil can in a cabinet for 2+ years after I used all the oil. I was thinking "I should hang on to this, I might find a use for it." That never developed. I had started thinking "well I guess I don't have a use for it after all and I don't wish to be a pack rat." Out the door it went. Now, 2 years after that, I now find I wished I had hung on to it. 😂
ОтветитьWhat do you do with the bit of was left at the bottom of the can? Do you pour it into a container to be used again?
ОтветитьWell done video. The little girls are so cute.
Suggestion, add hot water to your wax as the level gets low. The water will sink to the bottom and raise the wax level back up to the proper place.
Amazing! Thanks for sharing :)
ОтветитьWhat are the dimensions of your candle drying stand? I’m asking my hubby to make me one!
ОтветитьGreat instruction. Nice family! Thank you for sharing these valuable tips.
Ответить❤Love the teamwork here! Thanks so much!
ОтветитьSo cute sweet and simple! I love this video.
ОтветитьHi, Thank you for sharing your experience! May i ask how much wax approximately did you use to make these 24 candles?
ОтветитьThank you so much!!
ОтветитьLuv how this is a family event. ❤❤❤❤
ОтветитьThank you so much for showing me your efficient set up. I happened upon a horde of beeswax and I'm good to build a frame a give it a whirl. I also like these family videos; it makes me feel hopeful.
Ответитьbeautiful family
ОтветитьCan we use paraffin wax Instead?
ОтветитьCan’t see the nut/ bolt. Camera too far
ОтветитьThis is the sweetest video of you teaching the girls how to make candles. I am at work killing time while I unload trucks. This made my morning. You can see the joy on their faces.
ОтветитьI came to your video looking for a candle making tutorial and got a bonus of watching a beautiful family working together. 😊 Takes me back 50+ years with my two sisters. Great tutorial by the way, I had all my questions answered. ❤
ОтветитьThank you for mentioning how many dunks it took you. Looking into starting this and my brain thrives on information like that
