as a rough guide , tare your scales if digital ( do this by sitting your container on scales - press tare. This will give you a zero balance , as the weight of the container is NOT include). Then add water to the container .... this will tell you roughly how many mls /grams it holds. Keep in mind that waxes and oils will have different densities , so there will be a slight variation , but it will give you something to work with . I have always beens told to go by weight rather than volume , so I use grams

stickums work well for me ... the glue gun I use is a cheapy , ok on tealights but not so with glass. Also , with stickums you can reposition if really necessary , but once that hot glue touches the surface it sets

haha ... I reread my answer a few times before I posted it as i tend to come out with some clangers! Just keep a few spare little candles ready to go , that way you never have a problem.The larger tealights and spa cups are great for excess wax. They burn around 12-15hr and also a great backups for short notice gifts and such

It is all relative ... 10% is 10% no matter how many grams /ounces you are using. The only time this is of importance is if the maximum holding capacity of your vessel is less than the amount of wax you want to pour into it! dont stress about it ... just have some tealights ready for any excess wax
