This video was so helpful, but I did notice in your formula you had 6/(100+.08), followed by 6/1.08 & 100 + .08= 100.08. So in your equation that should really be 6/(1 + .08) in order to get 1.08? Correct? That one little hick up threw my math off & im glad I caught in time!

I have such a hard time absorbing the metrics for coming up with the correct wax and fragrance oil. I still can’t seem to “get it”. Can anyone help me understand? Or do you have a redo use tool that helps you with this?

Very Helpful. Thank you so much❤

Just got Thur watching this video a few times…. There are so many candle makers/KZreadr that don’t was to explain this but make it seem like candle making is easy or want to charge and take advantage …. I am just grateful you did this video…. Thank you for sharing your knowledge…😊

Thank you so much for this super video. Now I can actually begin because I understand how to calculate net weigh and determining how much fragrance oil. Looking forward to watching more video by you and Memory Box. Again thank you so much

This helped so much I was confused on how to figure out how much wax and oil to use. Thank you 🙏🏾

THANK YOU SO MUCH, now I can start making my magic!!

Very helpful 👍🏽🥰 thanks

Water weight times .86 equals wax/oil weight.

Is there a reason to short your FO, which is what your math does? What am I missing? Why not a true 8% . 6oz x 0.08 = 0.48 FO then 6.00 - 0.48 = 5.52 wax. Minute discrepancy with one candle but x 100 candles different story. Multiplying gives the full %. Division shorts every candle 0.5% FO? What am I missing?

Is this the same for mold candles

Hello it me again ,I’m Not sure if I missed a step in the formula. I will be using (A,B,C,D and E) for my math problem . I first weight my silicone mold to figure how much it weigh (A) . Then I filled the silicone with melted wax to figure out the net weight (B). After that I subtract the silicone weight with the net weight (A-B) = C then I plug in my new fill weight to the formula that you provided. C (100%+8%) Then I divided C( 1.08%) = D to get the proper wax weight. After that I subtract (C-D) to get my F.O load = E . I attempted to do a candle with with the same mold but after measuring my wax and melting it , it only filled 1/3 of the mold ? Can you please help me ? I thought figure out my wax weight 😣

Thanks for this video. In your formula, you said desired fill weight ÷ [100+ F.O %]. Working out the base, 100 + (8%). 100+ 0.08= 100.08. Pls where did you come about 1.08? Not adding up here

@EclipseBotanica

So sorry, I need to redo this video, it’s supposed to say 100% + 8%. Which would be 1.08

So as a beginner i have used 2lbs of wax to 1oz of the same FO. 2lbs come to find out made only 5 8oz jars of candles. Now how do i figure out how much wax i need to melt to FO percentage when i go to mixing the FO?

Hello, I have question. If I already figure out the net weight of the wax by pouring melted wax into an empty jar or silicone mold . Do I still need to divide with the 1.08% to get another new wax weight? Or can I skip this part and subtract the jar/silicone weight with the net weight wax to figure out the fragrance oil weight? And another question is 6oz the desired melt wax weight that you chose for your tin can ? I’m sorry I’m just trying to understand the math 😅

@EclipseBotanica

I like this idea, I think that would work to subtract the weight of the silicone

Thanks, but how did you get 8% FO oil?

so i have a question : I'm using soy wax 444 to get the best Ht what temp do you add your F.O at right now i add my at 160 is that to cold for the F.O to bind to the wax? help please

@EclipseBotanica

Жыл бұрын

I add mine directly out of the digiboil, so the temp is usually 190 🤍

Im trying to understand this. At 7:05, when you say 8 percent is going to be .08, that is referencing 8 percent of what number?

@EclipseBotanica

.08 is 8 percent of 1 the whole

It’s listed in my Amazon page or you can just google gram scale! 😊

I suck at math, I just ask Goggle.

my wax melts never weigh the same,even tho I fill them up. After I subtrat for the shell.they are not all exact.

I have a question 🙋‍♂️ I am doing wax melts candles is it then some method?

Yes I believe so!

What if you are using multiple fragrances in one hand, how do you calculate the different measurements of each fragrance for one candle in ounces instead of grams

@EclipseBotanica

Жыл бұрын

You would just find out the exact measurement of each FO and add all the FOs to your candle materials

I like to follow the manufacturer recommendations when I make my candles. I am a beginner, and I am using palm wax blend from Michaels. The instructions for palm wax says 0.5 oz of FO per pound. My palm wax comes already measured; it comes in blocks, so it is easy to make the ratio. I usually make 2 pounds and I use one of those 1oz bottle of fragrance. This mix fills 7 tin candle containers of 8oz. It works perfectly for me. And the hot throw is amazing! Don't complicate your life.

Conversion from oz to grams 😁

I weigh my FO in Grams

Only issue...is 100 + .08 is 100.08....s/b 1 + .08 is 1.08.

Hey you didn’t show us how to add the coconut oil to the equation 😞

I do mine slightly easier. fill weight divided by FO % 170g / 108% = 157.4 then 170 - 157.4 = 12.6 157.4g wax 12.6g FO

Hi, why 108? I don’t understand where 100 comes in?

People don't measure in percentages. Make the math simple. When I make paste wax for tools, I use 5 parts wax to 1 part linseed oil. Paste wax for finishing is 3 parts wax to 1 part boiled linseed oil. Cutting board butter is 3 parts mineral oil to 1 part wax. What is the calculation for fragrance. x part was to x part oil. Very simple to give us! you say 8%. So...that is 12 parts wax to 1 part fragrance?

Thank you so much 🫶this breakdown is so easy… I will definitely use this when making my own DIY candles❤️ 😘new subscriber 🙋🏻‍♀️
