[@simplyblessed_]

I’m going to have this on repeat till I get it!!!!

[@keyanabowie2372]

Hahaha, I'm back for the third time.

[@vicmstark]

Same!!!!! Lol

[@tashikashockley3010]

Same here

[@moirnatural3354]

Me too🥰

[@lizzy5437]

Just divide 16/1.1 oz for a 10% FO for a 16oz candle. (Same math she used I got it from OP) Let me know if you have trouble for other jars I can help you.

[@gjay4]

This was by far the best breakdown I’ve seen thank you

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

Yay thank you for watching! ☺️

[@daijshamosley]

Wow, thank you SO much for this. I wish I could pay you for this video because you have really helped me. I’m starting my own candle business but I have been struggling drastically with the measurements to get everything right. Math has never been my strong point. I was almost to the point of giving up on starting the business because I just really couldn’t understand the math. This video has completely changed that. Thank you again! ❤️

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

Ahh YESSSS I’m so unbelievably happy to hear this!! Yayyy!!! 🥰❤️

She definitely needs a donation button!

[@yuliaanisakharova]

For now we can buy some merch and use affiliated links in order to support. And share the videos of course

[@daijshamosley]

@@yuliaanisakharova yes I know

[@Belovedthelioness]

Same! Maybe she has a cashapp we can send money to

[@gemini_timmy9030]

This is the kind of math they should be teaching in school!! I hope you know how incredibly helpful and easy to understand your videos are!! 🧡

[@ASMRyouVEGANyet]

Lol they're not teachings useless math

[@navynole0113]

I watched this a month ago and was like.. I can’t do this but watched today with all my supplies and instantly understood. I actually melted wax and done the formula along with the video and made a candle. Perfect formula! Thank you !!

[@cperson598]

I'm a beginner and really needed this break down of calculations. Thank you for taking the time to put this together and give us your knowledge. Much success for you and your business ❤

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

I’m so glad it helped you!!

[@shaneyg25]

Honey you broke this down for me. I suck at math, but this was well explained. Thank you so much. I rather just use this way, than the apps. Gotta learn this candle math.

[@zeelife6518]

YOU ARE A BLESSING TO ALL CANDLE MAKERS!! HAHAHA THANK YOU FOR SIMPLIFYING A COMPLICATED FORMULA INTO SOMETHING SUPER EASY TO TO FIGURE OUT.

[@BaiboBibiaWorld]

Erica is an such an excellent mentor for us all beginners…Thank you so much and God bless🕊

[@imactuallyreallysadrnlmao480]

I love how you wanted to be an English teacher but now you're basically a math teacher

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

It is ironic 😂

[@deanngardner5578]

😂😂 a great math teacher, too! ha ha

[@PhenomenalChoklit]

OMG Erica, thank you soooooo much! First off math was never my favorite subject but the way you laid it out made things so easy to understand. I was weighing water instead of wax to find my fill weight and could not understand why the numbers were off. Thanks again, I really appreciate it.

[@apriljamesmas6668]

I chose scented candles as my feasibility study topic, and your calculations absolutely help me keep up with costs. Thank you so much.

[@shonacrawford1256]

you're a legend for this

[@olinemy]

I’ve been doing my test for a couple of weeks now, using this formula that you share in a previous video. Thank you for the time and sharing all your knowledge… God bless you! And yes, there’s enough ppl in this planet that would purchase from any candle maker in the world… We just need to keep them coming back for more! 😊❣️Wishing success to all of us who have dared to start our own business. 🥂🙏🏼🕯

[@kristinmccomb7923]

BEST break down ever.... I have been doing it wrong for a year... a WHOLE year! No wonder my batches have been seeping oil, I've been too high with the incorrect formulas. Thank you!

[@kristinmccomb7923]

OK, I just broke down this formula math and now I am second-guessing myself... HELP! My fill line is 11oz. Using the math, with 10% FO, the wax will be 10oz, FO% 1oz. Is this correct? The rule of thumb is 1oz per 1lb of wax, with 11oz and 1oz FO that seems too much??

[@bethcichocki3642]

I've never had issues with math or weight conversions, however, when I started making candles, because of the 1% to 1lb formula that most manufacturers use, I kept wasting wax and fragrance or I wasn't filling my jars to the fill line. Thank YOU so very much for breaking this down into a simple formula. I have a strong feeling I won't be wasting or coming up short anymore!

[@sissy2011100]

Hi Erica, its me again. ugh.... After watching this video 1000 times and taking notes starting & stoping & pausing over a period of 3 to 4 days due to the massive interruptions of life.... finally finally finally I poured a successful candle with the correct FO % as well as the fill weight. It's nothing next to an absolute miracle that I have been able to get this. Your candle math formula has giving me the confidence to keep going forward and get my business up and off the ground with this power of knowledge - that you have shared is simply the gift that your giving to this business, and to all the entrepreneurs out here a breath of B-12 that we can do it!! I can't say enough about this video and what it took to get over the mind blockage and follow your steps to master this formula. Oh and by the way if you didn't know it - you're a therapist as well. Over the course of days I was saying your name out loud and talking to you in my garage as your video was playing. Ok by now you know I am your biggest fan and your other video have me hooked as well. From my heart to yours Thank You again!!! Andrea xoxoxo

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

Awww wow!! I am so proud and happy that you were able to pour a successful candle using the formula!! I’m so glad my videos have helped you! 🥰❤️❤️❤️

[@AwakenUrMind]

I don’t know why I was so scared to click on this one lol 😂 watching now! 🙏thank you for making this!!

[@tequilagarvin38]

Omg me too but it's a great video!!! Xoxox💜

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

Lol 😂

[@yuga321]

Me too, maybe feel like back to school😂, but thanks myself to click on this, learn the most necessary math in candle before i start trying! Thanks Memory Box Candle Co!

[@stephaniescreationsllc]

This was by far the best tutorial on how to calculate this. Thank you so much!

[@avsnj]

Watched several videos, but yours nailed it. Now I see the light at the end of the tunnel. Big thanks.

[@shellymclauchlan]

I finally got this formula. I’ve only made about 20 candles by subtracting the fragrance oil percentage of the fill weight to get my wax weight and overloading my candles. Lucky I was only calculating about 8%. But this makes much more sense.

[@TWSuggs-jr6ix]

I plan to start making candles as a special gift for family and friends. Trying something completely new. I stumbled across this video and WHOA! This is a class. Super easy to follow and was EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thanks for posting! You rock!

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

So happy it was helpful! ☺️

[@BecomingHappy2023]

I have been looking for this information. I have been researching candlemaking and getting my stuff together for a bit. I had seen videos on figuring out your wax weight FO%. I follow you and your information is wonderful. Thanks for your channel and your time.

[@SiElyseCandleCo]

I watched this video multiple times, wrote down the formula in my candle notebook. Made 8 candles with no excess wax left over so far the CT is AMAZING! I use 464 soy way and 8% FO. Thank you so much for breaking this math formula down!!!! You are a GOD SEND!!❤❤❤❤

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

Sooo happy it helped you!! :)

[@greendiamond917]

THANK YOUUUUU SO MUCH FOR THIS. I'm just starting and my first batch I wasted a lot of FO. I experienced the sweating and I honestly had no real idea how to do the calculations. This is the candle making hidden gem. I really appreciate you for disclosing the proper information and calculations. I've seen so many various measurements and this was the only visual learning one that made complete sense mathematically. I love math and I wish I saw this before I saw all the creative stuff this would've got me back to candle making so much sooner.

[@barukoo]

I failed my math throughout my education journey and your video with all the examples given, using gram, make it easier for me to understand. I really appreciate your effort in making this video. Thank you so much.

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

I'm SO happy it was helpful and easy to understand!

[@WaterMagicPros]

Two things: This is by far the most accurate and well explained information on how to calculate FO. You have shown that the method used by most others results in errors in FO up to a full percentage.....not good. Second, for candle jars without fill lines I fill on a scale. Tare the jar with wick and fill the jar until the weight equals the finished wax weight. Works every time. Thanks, excellent job!

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

Thank you so much!

[@dorraineleaf3551]

Thank you so much for explaining that so clearly 😊

[@jonathansalazar6526]

Ohhh my gosh. I am SO glad I came across this video. This makes me SO happy and much more confident. I had set to launch my website in two weeks but now I can't and I won't. I just poured a candle using this formula and I'm sure the scent throw will be much better than all of the other one's I've poured so far. Thank you soooo much!!!

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

So happy it helped!! ❤️

[@literallyawesome9911]

I am now confident. Im going to make candle right now, right away.

[@chantalroger3363]

Thank you so much for this precious tutorial I would have make so many mistakes! Like everybody I thought that making candles was just put a wisk (thought they were all the same lol) add wax and a lot of fragrance so it would smell a lot boy was I in the wrong! So thank you for all your precious informative videos! ❤❤ maybe a little more complicated to do but so much more interesting because every candle is a new experience 😊😊

[@michellegilbert9682]

Thank you so much for this information, I had given up on making candles, but after watching this video I'm giong to give it another try.THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@vanzongtangco599]

Thank you so much this is so helpful since i am starting my candle business and I don’t want to waste material costs

[@tiguabeams]

Girl... you just changed the game for me with this knowledge. Thank you so much!!!

[@msmezmerize494]

13:50 to 14:50 You have answered 2 lingering questions that I have been wondering about but personally have not heard many address it....THANK YOU and many blessings to you & your business!💜

Yayy!! I’m so happy to hear that this video answered a lot of questions for you!! Thank you so much for watching! ❤️

[@pinoykaraokePH]

Thanks to this video for newbies like me its very important to know how to calculate.👌👌👌👌👌

[@Belovedthelioness]

Girl. Do you have any idea how many candle math videos I have seen and all of them were wrong. Wasted tons of money on supplies and trying different methods. You are a lifesaver with these actually functional calculations. Thank you!

[@tyhessiatoure6721]

LOL you are the best I must say that 1 oz for every pound of wax lol is something someone should make a video about what NOT to do thank you for the MATH lesson and congratulations on the new addition to your family.

[@eirasam9528]

So happy I found this video!!! I love your explanation. I gave myself a good slap in the face for wasting so much fragrance oil because I was calculating it wrong. God knows how expensive those oils are.

[@joebrook9175]

Talking about making it easy! Nice job! 👍 the presentation is excellent. Seems like you put your time doing this presentation. Thank you soooo much. Much appreciated.

Ooohhh Girl ohhhh my God!!! Thank you so much... God bless you!

[@sheneidaseward225]

This was such a great help. I have been sitting on my candle making for a year afraid to do it because of the math but thank you I’m am going to try. Please keep rolling out this great informative content.

[@stephl1621]

This is genius and brilliant and I can’t believe you don’t write a book! THANK YOU so much for this! I’ve been an amateur candle maker for years, and scent and full weight have always been a mystery to me. Not now. I can’t wait to make a new batch! You’re a gem!

Learning the equations this way makes more sense. I am starting my candle business. thank you!!

[@annettesoto7932]

Thank you very much. I wish you the best for you and your business. You have talent God bless you. Thanks

[@jocelynprado94]

Thank you so much! This has helped me understand the math behind all that I need to do as a beginner. The internet has so many different answers regarding what formulas to use and I went down a rabbit hole trying to figure out how to calculate my fill weight and FO. This was the best explained formula and, overall, lesson I have learned so far! I will be referring back to your channel throughout the rest of my candle making! 💕👍🏽

[@paula.rochefort3408]

Thank you for very informative video. However, I do think you can calculate the needed weight of wax for a container by measuring the weight of water added to the desired fill line. The density of water is 1 g/cm3 ( cm3 = cubic cm) while the density of soya wax is 0.90 g/cm3 and paraffin wax is 0.93 g/cm3. Therefore to arrive at need wax weigh, measure weigh of water needed to fill the container to the fill line and multiply the weigh (of water) by the density of the wax to be used to get the weight of wax needed. For example: if a container is filled with 100 g of water, the weight of wax needed (using soya wax) will be 100g X 0.9 = 90 g, or for paraffin wax it would be 100g X 0.93 =93 g. BTW this will also work in kg, pound, or ounces, if needed ,since the formula relies on the relative density of water (1 g/cm3) and the density of the wax (0.90 or 0.93 g/cm3) that is: Weigh of water X (wax density /water density)= Weigh of wax. with the volume of wax and water equal.
