I use some bottles of fragrance from candlescience currently. I tried the liquor pour spouts but the fragrance eats the rubber which is concerning for trading out empties to new bottles and the possibility of debris What do ya all use to more accurately pour fragrances from these type of bottles?? Or am I going about this all crazy like I generally pour in excess of 3 oz of fragrance per wax batch so a pipette is probably not ideal submitted by /u/deimos74d [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hi everyone. I'm working on a personal project for building up a candle shopping website and I need to collect responses for user preferences.

Made using soy wax; only additives are fragrance oil (ratio of 30ml to 400g wax) and a small chunk of a dye block. As per wax instructions, I heated to around 65 degrees, let it cool to about 53-54, added the fragrance oil then poured straight away since that cooled it to 49-50 ish. I got one good looking candle, on the right, the rest look... split? ​ https://preview.redd.it/bqytie6fyvvc1.jpg?width=1845&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=93fa5edd75d3519b7725839057e851084046bb3d ​ https://preview.redd.it/jkq8qgpgyvvc1.jpg?width=1817&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1b75cb8a5b9833677ab ..read more

Hi everyone! I’m pretty new to candle making. I’ve been doing some thrifting and have found some China, mugs, cermatics, gravy boats, and sugar holders. I just want to make sure these items are safe to put candles in. A quick Google search says they are but I wanted to ask the professionals before selling just to be sure :) submitted by /u/Existing_Lettuce_394 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Im thinking of making a "scent discovery pack" and sell a pack for all the scents I offer. I wanna have the option to have the customer smell the scents before they buy a big candle, so... 1. Would you buy it? 2. Would you prefer a tealight? Or a wax melter cube? Any recommendations welcome! submitted by /u/Dependent_Ferret_337 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hello r/candlemaking, I'm thrilled to announce that I’m starting my own candle business and would love to get some community insight.
