Tip: Wax is 85%. For instance, if you want to fill an 8 oz jar: 8 oz x .85 = 6.8 oz of wax.

Cheers for this, I have been researching "what temperature does candle wax ignite?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Panlijah Inconceivable Position - (search on google ) ? It is a great one off guide for discovering how to become a candle making master and turn a profit minus the hard work. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my brother in law got excellent success with it.

So if I fill my jar to the wax line with water then x by 0.85 that will give me the wax amount needed?

seems to me there should be a formula or chart for any amount of wax you melt to know exactly what you will have when melted

I 100% agree

This carries over to fragrance oils. People often wonder why one bottle will be filled more than the next. The weight in each is the same, but the volume is different. Everything in candle making is done in weight.

Wow, needed this yesterday. I found some Straus jars at the dollar store. And didn't think about the extra fragrance oil and my wax expanding being the reason I had some much leftover wax. Also you did a video sometime ago about candle jars you found at the dollar store (square jars). As far as lids did you fit them with lids from candlescience?

Tanks for your video. Do you use 100% pure beeswax or paraffin wax or u mix it? 👍

Getting into candle making as a hobby. For one 8oz candle how much wax is needed? I’m new and like you said even after watching this I’m going to make mistakes lol new sub BTW

Can you use any type of wax for melts or is there a standard size and type?

Where do you get your melt containers from. I saw u used them for joy wax.

so its best to measure the wax first before melting it down?

so for the 9 oz straight sided tumblers, what do you recommend? no more than 7oz of combined wax with oil poured into the jar?

Question first I want to thank you for helping us out. My question is how many ounces of fragrance oil should I add in to my 13 ounce jar? I have been struggling big time with that. One more question what is the best the moment? It seems like those one that I got it has not been helpful. Thanks again.

I just received my candle making kit from Lone star and I’m still feeling confused on how to measure my wax 😔 I’m not good at math at all

Do you know I’ve been doing this forever and never knew why I keep having wax left over lol. Ok so I use 12 Oz Status Jars and per CS holds 8.9 roughly 9oz volume weight. I use 1.6 Oz FO (for certain recipes). So are you saying for me to weigh out 7.4 Oz of the wax (minus the FO) THEN melt it down? Sorry trying to get this right after all this time 😂

Hello I have some glassware that do not have the volume in oz on the vessel. How can I go about finding how much wax it can hold? From my understanding water is less dense so isn't reliable.

Question: how to label correctly? Mass volume or weight? Do you label you 8oz jelly jar as a 6oz candle or 8oz candle? Thanks!

@StandleyHandcrafted

4 жыл бұрын

There are no real hard set rules for candles even with fair labeling act. Most of the rules people point out are for cosmetics. It's a good idea to label net weight. You could even do 8oz (net wt 6oz)

In the simplest terms, oz vs fluid oz are not comparable. Oz on a scale is for dry stuff, oz in a measuring jug is for volume of liquids!

Does soy wax like gb444 or gb 464 come out to the same volume as the paraffin?

......I get 5.75 ounces of JoyWax plus FO in the 8 fl oz candle science jelly jars. 1 pound gets me 3 of them nicely.

@@heartforchrist7004 I should mention that it is not exactly 5.75 each time. Each different fragrance you use has a slightly different density, so it will weigh different amounts for a given volume.

so, when it comes to labeling, how much weight do you put? 8 oz or less?

If you go by the official candle people they want you to put in whatever ounce of wax actually goes into the jar regardless the jar size. So if you have an 8oz jar, your wax isn’t gonna be 8oz it’s gonna be like 6.5-7oz.....🤷🏽‍♀️

My 8oz jar holds 6oz if wax/FO. My question is you market it as 6oz candle correct and not 8oz? Thank you for all these great videos.

There are no hard set rules on this one but it's a good idea to list them as 8oz (6oz net wt)

I heard that the best way to figure out how much wax you need (if you are doing a single candle) is to fill the jar you are planning to use twice. Do you know if this is true or if there's any theory behind this?

When labeling do you use the weight before you pour or after it's cured? Because I have 8oz jars but weighing them after they cured put them at 13oz😳

Hi Jeff, thanks for sharing your knowledge! I am new to candle making and while I was doing one at the time 8.5oz (wax fill) jars with 10% fo I got perfect candle every time while trying new fo and doing burn tests. I tried doing 3 at the time 8.5 x 3= 25.5 (1.59lbs on my scale) and 8% (2.04) FO one batch, 10%(2.25) second batch I got only 2 full jars and half of the third one! Not sure why it doesn't add up! I even had CS team confirmed my calculations and they have video with same jars doing 6 candles, but two attempts and no luck. Please advise! Feel discouraged .. and I have no intention to do one by one forever! Thanks

@@The92CandleCompany Hi Donna, I actually increased the wax amount to 9oz (as this is what I got by using the calculation of adding water to desired fill line and multiply by 0.9 instead of suggested wax fill found on the CS website for my jars. The end result was 9oz per candle not 8.5. and the fill level was somewhat lower but closest to where I want it. I do 5 at the time (amount I can put in my pitcher) with 8% fragrance and it works well! Another way you can try is melt the wax and add it to an empty jar while on the scale to desired fill line to get the wax weight by jar. Make sure you zeroed your scale once you put an empty jar on! Hope this helps, good luck!! ☺️

The weight doesnt change. Just the mass.

How come when I order a 2 pound block of wax and weight it on my scale it weights less than 2 pounds

How much fragrance oils are you using for 16oz ? To fill 3 jars ?

Hey sorry but how much would was would I need to use in a 7oz jar

I'm still trying to figure out how much dry wax to melt

so basically, 16oz of wax in weight equates to 20 fluid ounce in volume.. and that means the volume is 25% more than the weight.

I’m working with 7oz jars, so what would you recommend? I’m struggling… :(((

I am having problems with my scent hot throw. I have heated the wax to 185 and then added the fragrance oil. I have also poured it at 135-145 pouring temp. I have tried weighing the fragrance oil in oz, Fl oz and grams. I have also tried using 3 different wax's. I'm still having the same problem. Please help.

Good points, but they are all incorrect. You are comparing Fluid Oz and Weight Oz. You measure the wax in weight Oz, and you are filling in Fl Oz. They are not comparable at all. It's like comparing Gallons to Pounds.
