How it works
Divide the total weight of the batch by the weight of one melt, then round down to whole melts.
The weight left over is what does not fill another whole melt. Keep it for the next batch or for a test pour.
Worked example
A batch of 5 lb makes 80 melts of 1 oz, with 0 oz left over.
Questions
Does the fragrance count in the batch weight?
Yes, if you weigh the wax and fragrance together. Enter the total you melted so the number of melts comes out right.
Why round down?
A part melt is not a full melt, and short pours can look uneven. Rounding down keeps every melt full.
How heavy is one melt?
It depends on the mold. Weigh one finished melt, or check the size of your mold, and enter that weight.
