Thank you for your fast and immediate response. Just to make sure I'm clear on it can you verify if I'm correct on the following based on your response: so it's better to measure by using the OZ unit. And whatever my wax weight comes out in grams, I shouldn't round it. So for example if the weight in grams is 221.34g I should leave it at 221g and if it was 456.76g I should leave it at 456g? Also for labels are you saying that whatever the weight is, my label should be under that? For example if my TW is 7.67oz I can put my label at 7.57oz, or if it was 4.36oz I can put it at 4.26oz?

Hey all, I just joined on the wagon to create some scented candles and hopefully grow it into a small business in the future. I have watched lots of video and tutorials on how to find wax weights and different formulas and such. But even thru hours of research there are still some questions that I was hoping you all can just provide clarity on. 1. when using the water weight to wax weight method, is there really any harm weighing the water in the LB:OZ as opposed to just OZ? the only diff I'm seeing is that the LB:OZ metric rounds the oz result while the OZ metric leaves the oz result with decimals. For example: 5.14oz LB:OZ -> 5.1oz OZ -> 5.14oz Another example: 4.27oz LB:OZ -> 4.2oz OZ -> 4.27oz 2) it's been said in some cases that when you get your weight results you should round up, other cases said its OK to round down or up. Based on the community experience which claim seems to be right? Does the claim of rounding also apply to when weighing water to find the wax weight? Also when rounding do you guys round to the nearest 10th or nearest 100th? For example: 225.34g wax weight To near 10th -> 225.3g To nearest 100th -> 225g 3) when making labels for the finished candles, I understand it's necessary to put the weight/oz of the wax in the candle vessel, on the label. Just for clarity are you supposed to put the actual net wt on the label or is it OK to round that number as well For example: Net wt is 4.87 oz Can I put on the label 4.9oz rounded to nearest 10th Can I out on the label 5.0oz rounded to nearest 100th Or should it jist be the actual net wt 4.87oz
