Candle Making Starter Kit

I ordered my kit and it was delivered promptly. I've made candles before and started with store bought wax and scent. They turned out ok but I was very disappointed with the scents. They dont last! I dealt with the wax but needed better, longer lasting scent. I visited your website and was blown away by the variety and cost of your fragrances, so I ordered! I was NOT disappointed. After learning a little more about candle making from your website I decided to order a kit. I love it! My only negative was I wish I had checked the temp of the wax that I microwaved. Didnt set well. The second batch, I used my double boiler. Poured at the right temp and they turned out beautifully. Thank you so much for quality products and tutorials!

I received my kit in a timely manner. I really like the kit and the tins are great. I used the double boiler method instead of the measuring cup/microwave because I wanted to be able to have more control of my melting wax. The frangrances are wonderful. I am head over heals with sea salt and orchid. I have already ordered a larger kit and will be making more candles as soon as the kit arrives. I am conducting a burn test and I think I need to wick up. The kit came with a CD 18 wick. The wick guide further suggested the ECO 12 or ECO 14 (I do not remember which). I will try those and see which wick works the best for me. Oh yea, the HT is really good after using Jeff Standley's advice about a low temp pour. I melt to 185 then pour the FO between 112-115, stir then pour. Also, I have found in my testing, the longer it cures the more amazing the HT.

WOW WHAT CAN I SAY... I REALLY ENJOYED MAKING THE CANDLES THE FO THAT WAS CHOSEN FOR THE KIT WAS AWESOME. MY ONLY COMPLAINT WAS THAT THE SEA SALT AND ORCHID FO WAS A BIT LIGHT ON THE SMELL, THE AMBER NOIR IS MY FAVORITE.

Great start kit!

Thank you to CS for a quick processing and delivery of my first order. Additionally, everything was labeled and well-organized. Although I have made candles in the past, this is my first time using GB 464. So far, I am thrilled with the results. The candle adhesion, cold throw, no frosting, smooth tops EXCELLENT. The candles are so shiny and creamy (I wish I could eat them! LOL). I am writing this review to encourage individuals to be patient with the creative process. I have given four stars out of five because I am curing my candles and I have not yet done a burning test. Crossing my fingers that everything will go as planned and expected. Note: This time I poured at 160 degrees instead of the recommended time based on my previous experience; however, this is part of the experimentation. Furthermore, I would like to try the paraffin/coconut blend. I feel guilty about using paraffin, but I have read so many positive reviews that I would like to try it. I have experienced using Coconut wax and Apricot Coconut wax, which are both excellent waxes to work with. I wonder if CS is planning on offering these waxes (they are expensive but the results are amazing). Please let me (us) know. Thank you CS!

I have made candles as a hobby for a while now and just started my own candle company. I wish this kit was around a few years ago when I got my candle DIY On! Let me tell you that this kit has everything a first-time candle maker needs. Candle Science does an outstanding job on their instructional material and you will be guided along the way.
