Wick'n'Wax Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 take pity I have a 5inch x 5inch cylinder that I'm going to make a hurricane in. The calculator on here, saying 1 1/2kg of wax (3.2lb) ish. It holds 34fl oz of water, which times by .8 = 27.227.2 what?I've got a terrible headache Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demenshia Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 I believe it would be 27.2 ounces(weight).Using the calculator fir a 5X5 round mold I came out with 3.09lbs or 50oz of wax...hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharyl55 Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I think you will find you need to use 3 lbs of wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wick'n'Wax Posted March 28, 2007 Author Share Posted March 28, 2007 lol, right woke up all refreshed and rearing to go this morning Going to melt 1 1/2kg (3lb ish) as its a hollow hurricane, so what I don't use will go back in the melt pot and saved for later. Won't be fragranced or coloured so will be ok to use again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wick'n'Wax Posted March 28, 2007 Author Share Posted March 28, 2007 mmmm this gets weirder!I've made one of these before, but being new to it, didn't take notes!! so don't know how much I used. However, I've just weighed out 1500gms of wax and its filled a mixing bowl, a small saucepan and my double burner pan, I've never had all 3 on the go at once before, so I'm sure its too much.Think I may just melt down half of it, fill the mould and see and pour it back out!! So long as I don't use the piccie, should be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
