I might be losing it -but I didn't understand the first post or Groover's post. I agree I think the original post meant 3/4 ounce. 3-4 ounces if in a pillar would just be running down the side of the candle. Not to mention the burn would be awful. Ditto with container. I don't post alot but I read,read, read, read, read. And test, test, test.
