ladysj Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Okay maybe I've not had enough coffee today I have some 4 ounce tins that I am going to make candle in. When I weighed them for the amount of wax I came up with 6 ounces not 4. Do I just fill it up to the 4 ounce level? It just looks not full to me. This isn't candles but my 8 ounce milk jug jar does the same thing. I got 16 ounces of powder in this little sucker and 8 doesn't even fill it to the top.

ladysj Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 I just weighed the 8 ounce tins and they 13.8 ounces of liquid. So since this is the liquid weight on these shouldn't my weights on my labels be 6 ounces and 14 ounces? I don't know why in the HELL I've gone so brain dead on this. Or for those that sell them as 4 and 8 ounces I'm ASSuming lol that you are only pouring 4 and 8 ounces. I filled these to the little lip(indentation) on the can.

Jami Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I have some 8 oz tins. I just weighed a tin that I haven't poured yet but has the wick in it vs. the tin I have poured. Once I tared out the weight of the empty tin, my candle weighed 6.5 oz.Not sure if that is what you are looking for but thought maybe it would help some.

dabbledoya Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 ???I get 3.5 oz nt wt on my 4 oz tins, and 6.5 oz on my 8 oz tins. Maybe you need to change the batteries on your scale? Sounds very strange! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Makin Momma Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 It should weigh less not more. Are you hitting the tare button first to subtract the weight of the tin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladysj Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 *faint* Talk about feeling a real DUMB ass . I couldn't find a smiley with me beating my head against the wall. I weighed on of my tins that I had made up that I forgot I had. Minus the weight 2.4 ounces of the tin it weighs 8.26 ounces. I'm not even going to go there and explain how assanine I feel. Don't mind me ladies and gents it's been a long day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
