Ahhhh thank you, I have to say watched a few other vids and people just made it sound complicated. You have made it easier to understand so thank you very much x
At long last I understand! Thanks so much x
Thank you very much for your video. It was straight to the point. excellent content. I was tearing my hair out trawling through all the long winded "How to calculate wax & fragrance videos." cheers.
Awesome video
So helpful for a newbie such as myself. Thank u 😊
Awesome 👍
Thank you for you videos and resources x
Great video, thank you. If I understand correctly, the "magic number" of 0.77 will be specific to your wax. It's probably going to be different for other manufacturers or waxes/blends. If you think about it, take a cup and fill it with lead, it'll be heaver than if you fill it with water. Similarly, each wax has it's own "density", which is just another name for the magic number. So, for anyone else trying to figure out their own magic number, then, see if your supplier/manufacturer publishes the "relative density" for your wax on their data sheet or just reach out and ask them. Hope that helps someone. Look forward to your next video! Cheers.
I love listening you! x
Aww that is so kind of you! Thank you 😊 xx
hi thank you for your video. I have a question, where did you get the magic number 0.77 from?
Hey Hun, thanks so much. Very helpful 👍🏽 Can you include the link for the website you mention where you check the weight please?
Yes, sorry! It's this one: candle-shack.co.uk/blogs/fragrance/online-fragrance-calculator x
@@thecandlejourney2500 Cheers. In you video, you mentioned NI candle suppliers website so I got 🤷♀️. Not anymore, this has helped alot
@@RTG1031 Apologies, I'm getting confused! Yes, you're right. It's this one: www.nicandlesupplies.co.uk/blogs/how-to-guides/how-to-calculate-fragrance-scent-load
@@thecandlejourney2500 No worries. Didn't know Candle Shack had one 😊
Hi would this work for waxmelts?
So such as wax weight x fo % =fo grams .. And the number you get, do you take that off of the wax weight? That's where I am getting confused. Because if I added the grams to the wax weight I'd have too much 😕🤔xx
I believe the wax calculation is the same for wax melts, but I'm not 100% for the fragrance oil as I've not yet made wax melts myself so I can't really comment. Sorry! x
Not easy making candles especially with essential oils.
1. You need the correct temp for the wax your using.
2. You need to know the oil flash point.
3. You need to learn what temp is best to pour the mixture.
4. The calculation for weighing wax and oil.
I could go on and on. Hahaha bit once you understand it all its easy! Xxxxx
I still don’t understand 😩
Oh no! What don't you understand? I can try and help! x
Why not just fill your container with the wax you are going to use, and avoid using the “” conversion factor? Would seem a lot easier
