Beeswax from a Beekeeper can be quite soft as can have a high moisture content (great for polish) and needs to be kept hot (not too hot) and stirred often in an open pan for an hour or so to evaporate it off. Test setting as one tests the setting of jam but more solid and brittle. Most commercial bought blocks have had this done.

2023-01-23 14:04:57 +0000 UTCAww that's really sweet! I would be cynical and think that he would run away before paying lol It's a shame Tim Hortons isn't closer, I really missed that Ice Cap ๐

2023-01-23 14:02:45 +0000 UTCI made candles one summer as a kid when I was at our cottage. I melted old crayons (for colour) and parafin and then dug holes in the sand to make the mold. So the outside of the candles were sandy but I remember them being pretty neat but not actually very good at burning. I think I tried different layers of colours too. Your candles turned out really good. Obvi that iced capp was a winner.

2023-01-21 17:13:15 +0000 UTCHave made my own Beeswax candles in the past. Have a local Beekeeper so the wax is cheap and great honey from him. Made both traditional stick candles and in containers. If the wick's attached/passed through a heavy small holed (a large knot tied in the wick) washer no need to glue down. My local Butcher has a good supply of soft cotton string to use as a wick. May treat myself to an Edenbridge candle or two for my Birthday at the end of the month. The best review a business can get is repeat business as you know so tend to say in any rare review submitted that this is a repeat order/visit enough said. Tend to take most read with a pinch of salt unless bad. Off to coat two dozen fresh eggs in melted butter so they will keep for months in the cool and dark unrefrigerated.

2023-01-21 15:17:19 +0000 UTCLoved this video. It may have been chaotic to make, but was so much fun to watch. Although you using glue, hot wax, scissors and matches unsupervised... Scary ๐คฃ

2023-01-21 12:36:32 +0000 UTCMy reaction to that TimH server being so pushy would have been to write a review complaining about pushy staff! Candle making looks fun! Thanks for the video as always ๐

2023-01-21 11:43:24 +0000 UTCGreat video! One of your best? I've joined a gym! Me, a 72 year old male. God bless the NHS, they got me a ''Fresh Start'' 12 week gym session back in October and I had my last session Friday. I've signed up for full membership as they had a 30% off deal for 3 months. In other news, I had a similar thing to your Timmies encounter, but mine was with a seller on Amazon. I bought a cheap ''Smartwatch'' to check my smartwatch I'd bought as I didn't trust the heart rate shown. Anyway, I received a sort off nice email from ''Alice'' saying they had a new ''Smartwatch'' coming out and if I would give it a good review, they would refund the cost (ยฃ30.00) to me! Here's the thing, I got the watch and, my God, it was really good! It does everything (almost) that my ยฃ200.00 watch does! However, they had 4 watches coming out in January and I said it look a bit off if I gave all of them 5* ratings so I declined her generous offer. And I've been sick too! First cold in 5 years! The End!

2023-01-21 11:25:55 +0000 UTCDefinitely sounds as though the Tim H's staff are being pushed to get reviews...though maybe a little too much! As for the candles, they looked really good and the containers were a great idea, although you've got tough competition as The Butler's Edenbridge candles are really top notch!!

2023-01-21 11:08:41 +0000 UTCYour Tim Hortons interaction is so strange lol, when I was in Tim Hortons on Tuesday a boy that looked like he was around 14 came up to me and said he only had coins and didnโt have a card and asked if I could pay for his drink, so I did it and he gave me coins lol and I thought that was random, but your review interaction is very random lol, thanks for your video! Hope you have a nice weekend!

2023-01-21 10:38:35 +0000 UTCGreat video, I think would've pointed out to the TImmies guy how inappropriate that was but I am OBLC so.... ๐ I used to make candles years ago as a hobby, I once made a really cool one that was about 6" tall, purple with multi coloured chunks in, I left it in the conservatory one summer and it melted into a kinda dubious shape..... ๐ If I can find any photos, i'll post them in the Discord. ๐

2023-01-21 10:29:13 +0000 UTCCandles was always something I wanted to make as a kid & my mum always came up with reasons why I couldnโt, even after I was given a kids kit to do it, still no ๐ Wonder if that Tim Hortons is incentivising their employees to get reviews, certainly never had it happen before in a fast food place lol. Canโt wait to see the video!
