You've just out did yourself from 1000 videos on the same subject and they didnt even compare to the simiplicity and inofrmation you' ve provided. Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
❤
wow so generous of you to provide the templates. I'll download and use them, saves me time and brain power. Thank you so much. I am just starting my business and having so much fun but my formula had lots of wax left over.
I am not a big fan of math, but you made this math so easy with a visualization water being heavier than wax. You are a good teacher.
I'm glad this was helpful!
I can't thank you enough! I've watched tons of videos over the past 4 weeks and was ready to give up, but your video is THE ONE that clicked for me!
I’m so glad you found this one helpful!
You will never know how many people I have listened to in an effort of figuring it out and not until TODAY, do I understand this AND can do it! WOW. Thank you a million!!! ❤
Hi WinningRabbit! I’m so glad this clicked for you. Such a great feeling! You can do it!!!👏👏👏
I think I’ve watched most of your videos. I’m slightly addicted to you. 😂 You offer such great tips/advice and have beautiful & elegant taste. Love your videos! Thanks for giving back to the world through your expertise and help.
Wishing you much love & peace through your own personal journey.❤️
Hi Suzie!! I am so grateful for you and you absolutely made my night. I am delighted you find my videos fun and helpful--please let me know if there are any candlemaking topics you'd like for me to make a video on. Thank you so much for your good wishes. Love and light always :)
Thank you Allen for that extremely helpful tutorial. That was so well done. Thank you for sharing. I appreciate you. Wishing you many blessings.
Carol ❤🙏
Glad this one was helpful, Carol.
Allen, thank you so much for this formula. I have struggled so much to nail a consistent formula when it comes to FO to wax ratio. I appreciate your generosity to the candle community and wish you well with your endeavors!
Hi Be Be! Thank you so much for your comment. I’m delighted this was useful to you. Love and light always 💛🌱
Hands-down, this was the easiest formulation video. Thank you so, so much!!!
Hi Colleen!! I am so glad you found this helpful. A warm welcome to our RUclips family 🌱💗
thank you
This was so helpful. Thank you so much for this video!
You’re awesome for this. Thankful for your humbleness 🥰🙌🏾
I am so glad if this was helpful to you!! 🌱👍
Oh my gosh I’ve literally listened to this from other people about 100 x’s and NEVER understood it. I would always get super confused and lost in the process. Not sure how but with your video it just finally CLICKED and I was like “It’s been this easy THE WHOLE TIME?!” 😂😂🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ I’ve literally never used this method I just guesstimate (and I will say I’ve gotten really good!) so I don’t have to do this cause it’s always been super confusing. 😂 Seriously thank you for making me not feel stupid! 😂
Ha ha ha!!! I’m so glad it clicked!!! Such a great feeling. Love and light 💛💎✨
Thank you so much for this detailed tutorial! Appreciate the info especially with the clear visuals you took great care to film. 😊
Glad this was helpful, Kathleen!

Ok ok ok maybe I go it now
Beautiful person I need you! My math just ain’t mathin! I have a 2 oz candle vessel a 6 ounce vessel and an 8 oz vessel I need to know how much fo to put in each of those. I printed out your papers, but I’m struggling. 💙 love ya Biggs! 10% fl
Hi there! Did you see my comment replying to this? I hope you’ve got it worked out💛
Hi! Love your channel, I've been binge watching this morning =)
So, I make candles as a hobby and I've been using a formula for calculating FO & wax ratios from another YT'ber. I only work in grams. Maybe I messed something up along the way (which is highly possible). So math is mathing like this: for a 12oz fill line w/ a 10% fragrance load I am using 309g wax & 31g FO, is this even remotely correct lol???
Downloaded each of your worksheets and cannot wait to print & use them today.
Hi there! Yes, you calculated this correctly, however next time I'd recommend rounding down on your fragrance and rounding up on your wax since you're already at the max load of fragrance that most waxes can hold.
So, as you correctly calculated, a 12oz fill means that 12oz is 100% of the contents (i.e. wax and fragrance) aka 10/10. But how we want the proportions of this mixture is 10 parts wax and 1 part fragrance, so 11 parts total. 12x10/11=10.91oz wax and 1.09oz fragrance.
In grams, this would be 310g wax and 30.9g fragrance.
Hope the worksheet helps! It explains the same concept in a slightly different way.
As someone that’s just starting making candles as a hobby ,this is a amazing formula! Makes it so much easier I will be using it!
do you have a formula for dyes as well or is it the same?
Hi Ashley!! I am so glad you found this helpful. I have not made any formulas for dyes yet just because I haven’t used them much in my own candles. Thank you so much for your comment and a warm welcome to our candlemaking RUclips family. Love and light always 🌱💛
Thanks for the vid, but i got a little confused around 4:28. When you were calculating the 90% from the wax, you used the number 6.53oz instead of the actual water amount of 6.46oz, why was that?
Hi there! The wax is more dense than the water, so whatever your water weight is, you only need 90% of it to get the equivalent volume (fill) in wax.
This actually should have been 6.46oz in the calculator and not 6.53 but regardless you will not get an exact answer but it will give you a very close ballpark to where the wax will end up.
Since my water weighed 6.46 oz, 90% of this would be my wax weight:
6.46oz x 0.9 = 5.81oz (rounded to the nearest hundredth). While it’s not exact, it’s pretty darn accurate!
In this visual, I was showing how the wax and the water occupy the same volume (aka fill) in the container but because they’re different densities, their weights will be different. With candle wax, it happens to be on average 90% of the weight of water.
If you reverse this, you can start with filling your jar with water to wherever you’d like your candle to stop, and multiply that amount by 0.9 (90%) to get the wax.
Make sense? If not please let me know and think of another way to explain it.
Probably a stupid question, but I can do everything in grams also, yea? Thanks
You absolutely can! Any consistent unit.
Do/can tou use this method to find the fill weight for different wax melt molds?
You sure can!
I’m confused. Jeff Standly and other candle makers use .86. What is the reason u using .09 ??? What is the correct number to use
Either .90 or .86 will work but NOT the .09 you mention. .86 is slightly more precise but use whatever you're comfortable with. :)
But if you were to go back in and plugs those numbers to check if they add up. your fragrance oil would actually be 9% and not ten like you were wanting. Right?
If you divided 1.1/11.05 it gives you 9%. Then add 1.1 + 11.05 equals your total wax desired.
@@MissladypimpHi! No, my formula and 10% Fragrance Oil Worksheet will give you 10% FO based on your wax weight. I’m not quite sure what you are doing or are confused about here. Could you please clarify what your desired fill in oz with water is?
Maybe I got the 2 oz one ok here goes… 2x0.9=1.8 sooo 1.8/1.10=1.6wax and 0.16 fragrance????
You’ve almost got it! Your fragrance is the remainder to get you to the 1.8 ounces.
If your total is 1.8oz (this is your wax and fragrance), then
1.8oz/1.10oz=1.65oz wax (remember to always round up on the wax).
Then, remember total-wax=fragrance
1.8oz-1.65oz=0.15oz fragrance.
You’ve got this!👏👏👏
Ughhhhhh I’m not even sure where my brain has gone! I’m so ughhhh!
Please see my comment above. You’ve got this!!!! Don’t give up!
@@earthglow I did finally get it! Thank you so much! As I said before, months ago you are seriously the reason I didn’t give up. I’m actually up to like 30 16oz bottles of fo. 🤣🤣 I printed out like 20 copies of your worksheet. I don’t sell anything nor do I want to. It’s just because I love making wax melts and playing around with candles. ♥️😘
@@ERIKAKEMERLY2010 I’m so proud of you!! I’m sure your candles are fantastic-passion and patience and perseverance is what it’s all about!
So many numbers 😫😫😪😪i am so bad in numbers 😫
Glenda, I’m happy to help! Whatcha having trouble with?
Awww you are an angel 😇. Thank you so much for your reply ❤ in general numbers don't go along with me🤣 and since I am very old it gets worse 🤣 be safe love all your videos ❤
