You watch...the price for shipping will go up too at all theses suppliers. It is coming down to....Making candles is way too expensive and the profit margin is really not worth it when you factor in your time and shipping.

who's making money on who?

I have been making candles and selling them for years. But I have come to a fork in the road with the pricing of so called wholesale supply houses and the shipping that these people charge. it's really too bad...they have to make such a profit on not only the product they are selling but making a profit from shipping. I have been around the block with shipping items my entire life with our family business and there is definetly a problem with most supply houses like wax products. Come on you suppliers who read these boards don't tell me you aren't making some coin on shipping. I ship every single day and If these guys are smart and want to keep a customer base and business they really should consider looking for alternatives in shipping OR the way they do business. Just my two cents. I am ready to take a whipping from all you loyals...who are making these people money. And they aren't doing anything but giving you cheap prices and make up their cost with shipping. I have already bailed from the candle business. It was good about 10 years ago...but not now. Now i see peaks offering 25% off shipping. I rest my case!

You have one pound of dry not melted paraffin wax it will yield approx 20 oz of liquid when melted. Soy approx 18...I pound of palm wax 18 or 20 oz. forget it I'll just melt a pound and find out. This ain' rocket science...but thanks anyway.

Thanks for the info. I am going to try it for containers.

do you get 20 ounces of palm wax when melting a pound or 18 ounces. yeah I could measure it and probably will...The only reason I ask is I just wanted to know how many ounces so I don't screw up my figuring when pouring a batch. I didn't think this would be such a mystery.

Eric of einstein...How MANY ounces of melted wax(Palm wax) do you get when you melt one pound! With paraffin you get approx 20 ounces from one pound of melted wax....with Soy you get approx 18 ounces...would you get approx 18 or 20 ounces of melted liquid? hellooooo...a foot is a foot...an inch is an inch a mile is a mile...a cork is a cork

Murry top of the hill help? Nobody is getting this?

Has anyone ever mixed pillar paraffin with soy and if so what were the results./Thanx

Yes Glass glow or any Palm wax

I am talking about liquid volume. Soy usually yields about 18 ounces of wax for 1 pound of wax. paraffin approx 20 ounces. When one pound of palm wax is melted down...how many ounces?

When you melt one pound of palm wax do you get 18 or 20 oz. I know soy is approx 18 and paraffin 20. Thanks never really took the time to measure.

Are you sure the wax is for pillars and not container soy?

I use clear liquid Nails. Cheap and it workd geat!

Anyone using the 4794 for containers...I would like their opinion using this for containers. I haven't checked but is this parafin and would it need a second topoff for containers? Thanks
