Anthony101 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Hi,How would I go about finding how much wax I need to fill a cookie sheet? I am trying to make a sheet of wax but am not sure how to go about calculating this. It does not have to fill it the entire way but be thick to pick up without breaking. Also, I am so glad to have this website. This is a blessing in disguise when I found this Thanks.Anthony- This is for a school project. I have to make a sheet of wax. I saw a youtube video of someone making a Candle Pie using a cookie sheet and pouring wax on there which gave me the idea of doing it that way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 I would fill the cookie sheet with water, weigh the water, then multiply the result by whatever the specific gravity is for that wax. Example, if the cookie sheet holds 2 lbs of water, typical soy wax has a specific gravity of 0.89 or so (googled specific gravity of EcoSoya wax). 2 lbs times .89 = 1.78 lbs of wax. You can get closer with grams, but you get the idea. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
