Jenn A Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 I know I am asking really silly questionsd but I just got to thinking about and wasn't sure to figure it for before or after it was melted....since it weighs different in each state.Thanks,Jenn A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveinPA Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 It will weigh the same whether it's melted or not. Only thing that changes is the volume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenn A Posted October 13, 2005 Author Share Posted October 13, 2005 and it definitely weighs the same in every state - from Alaska to Washington j/k hehe.....that was a good one!!OK I feel like a big ole doofus....LOL.....I guess I just got bumfuzzled there for a minute!Okey dokey...so I will go with the 1.5 (for example) oz fo per 1 lb of pre melted wax...LOL....I need a DERRRRRR smilie!!Jenn A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatinDucky Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Remember 16 oz by weight and 16 fluid oz are not the same thing. One pound of wax by weight will always be one pound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're pretty much conditioned by everyday life, to me it seems anyway. It's like if you ask someone to pick you up a bottle of coke at the store. They ask what size ya want.. and you respond 16 oz, 20 oz, whatever. We just don't say fluid ounces in general. It's really not necessary to specify, because the coke is only going to come in fluid oz. There's not many things out there, that I know of anyway, that can be fluid and solid that we would need the measurments for on a regular basis.Ok, now that I've rambled on, back to the regularly scheduled programming :rolleyes2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
