NOTE:
1lb or 16oz equals 454 grams. 1 ounce equals 28.35 grams |
|
Example: You want to make a 1lb batch, using 6% fragrance & 1%
color
FRAGRANCE: 16oz X 6% = 0.96oz or 27.24
grams
COLOR: 16oz X
1% = 0.16oz or 4.54 grams
WAX: 16oz X 93% = 14.89oz or 422.22 grams
Your Product Formula
now looks like: |
|
Fragrance @ 6% |
27.24 grams |
We suggest using the weighing method of
addition as opposed to drops as it is much more consistent batch to
batch, in small as well as larger batch sizes. Unless you have a micro
scale to measure EXACT, in the example above, you would round 0.96
ounce up to 1 ounce. |
|
Color @1%
|
4.54 grams |
|
Wax @ 93% |
422.22 grams |
|
Total: |
454 Grams or
16 Oz. |
Note:
When the numbers fall in the 1/2 range, such as 4.54
grams, rather than round up, you can simply make a slightly larger
batch. The addition of one more candle will oftentimes allow the
numbers to fall in a range easier to work with when you don't have a
sensitive scales.
