How Much Is A Pound Of Wax. Last edited by a moderator: To find how much wax you will need, multiply the number of candles you are making by the amount of wax it will hold, and then divide that by 20.

Example, 100 (candles) x 8 oz (container size) = 800 (total ounces) / 20 (by volume) = 40lbs of wax. Take for example that you are making 6 oz. Soy wax is a great choice for making container candles.

Therefore, 50 lbs of flaked wax weighs the same as 50 lbs of melted wax. Of course, this is going to depend on the quality of the wax, how a manufacturer sources it and the method used in producing it. 56.18516 pounds [lbs] of soy wax fit into 1 cubic foot; You then take this number and divide it by 16 to equal how many pounds of wax you will need.
