bells4shells Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I just got these from Candlewic and they're just awesome! Anyhow, does anyone happen to know how much wax I'd need to melt in order to fill 8 of these? I've used the standard 15 hour votive molds before and to get 8 I melt 1 lb of wax. When I do so with the square ones, I get 5 full ones if I want to be able to have a little for a re-pour (I'm using palm wax). I don't want to waste any wax, so this has been a bit of a bother for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gdawg Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 best bet is to calualte like you did to get the fill weight for the round votivtes or like you do for a jar ect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bells4shells Posted October 20, 2007 Author Share Posted October 20, 2007 Well, I may have been spoiled in the fact that the place I got my containers from before told me how much wax would fit into so many molds. I didn't get that luxury this time with this set unfortunately. I think I found somewhere else they were 3.2 oz each. Does that sound right?

Stella1952 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Plug up the hole and see how much water fits in 'em... It won't be exact, but close enough to estimate the amount of wax needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
