JudyN Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 How many teaspoons are in 1/4 pound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrubzz Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Sorry - that one really can't be answered - you are talking apples and oranges there - two complletely different thingsWhat I mean is, a teaspoon is a measurement of volumn whereas a pound is a measurement of weight - A teaspoon of one substance such as water will weigh differently from a teaspoon of another heavier substance such as oilThe only way I know of to figure that conversion out for a specific substance is to tare out a container on your scale and add whatever substance you are trying to figure it out for by teaspoon until you reach your 1/4 pound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hewells Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 I agree with the previous post. Though if you are using liquid and you are going with 16oz in a pound 1/4= 4 ounces which would be 24 teaspoons. I went to this link to convert ** I am not saying this is guaranteed just that is what this online conversion table stated.http://www.onlineconversion.com/cooking_volume.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T~ Just T Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 I agree with hewells. 1 cup= 8 oz. which equals 48tsp. 1/2 cup= 4 oz. which equals 24tsp.T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrubzz Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 But - when you say 8 ounces = 48 tsp that is liquid ounces - and 1 liquid ounce can be different than 1 ounce of weight depending on the substance you are measuring - and to get 1/2 lb you have to use ounces of weight not volumn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hewells Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Okay but when you make candles don't most of us work with liquid. I know the Fo's that I have ordered say they are by weight not volume and that 16 oz of dry wax will not be the same once it is in liquid form for soy it is more like 18 and paraffin it is 20 Though the original poster did not specify whether she was using liquid or not, I posted stating that I was giving her the conversion for liquid.

scrubzz Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 not meaning to argue or anything - but even though technically I am working with liquids when making candles I never pay attention to the volumn - I always work with weight on pretty much everything except maybe my colorant (I just use drops for that) - my wax and my FO is always weighedbut then again the original post may not even have anything to do with candles and I may be talking here without having a clue as to what I am talking about (which would not be the first time I assure you! lol)And since the question was how much of a volumn was in a weight - I simply meant to state my opinion that you really can't convert volumn into weight without knowing what the substance is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudyN Posted March 19, 2006 Author Share Posted March 19, 2006 The question is regarding kemamide dry substance. Also I would use it for Vybar 103 too. I'm not good at this stuff. Does this help and if so can you tell me the conversion???? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hewells Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 You could go with the formula above as a guideline, but I would measure it out to be on the safe side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
