Frequently asked questions
How to estimate the wax?
Wax ≈ container volume (ml) × 0.85 g/ml × number of candles, accounting for density and headspace.
What fragrance load?
Often 6 to 10%, depending on the wax (soy wax usually takes up to ~10%).
Is it accurate?
It is an estimate: density varies by wax type (soy, paraffin, coconut). Run a test.
