Yeah i was a bit worried too its more like a 5.5 pound slab ( 2 make a standard slab) I questioned John when we went to pick up a few wicks... he showed me the melters.... you want to talk about GIGANTIC...Alls good as long as it continues to perform like 6006. I do have a backup plan and spot testing things every so often and testing every batch. When i was there i kid you not there was at least 10,000 candles in storage and about that many in the retail shop... glass prices are pretty good and can pick up one piece or 500.... ( they got PALLETS of each on hand for you to see... Not to impressed with fragrances though...some are really really good and others poof...
