Darbla Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 I was looking at Yankee candles and, for example, take the size that says 14.5 oz jar. Does that mean they actually put 14.5 oz of wax in it, or does that mean it is the capacity of the jar but not necessarily how much is in it?

snewbie Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 I believe it is the actual amount of wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 You have the same size jar from Yankee that I have. Its a 16 oz size jar but the actual weight of the wax is 14.5 oz. The wax weight or wax fill weight is listed as "NET WT". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_35550 Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 My 12 oz jar holds 8 oz of wax and fo and is listed as an 8 oz jar and my 16 oz jar is a 12 oz jar. You have to make allowances for the addition of wick and holder and room at the top of the jar for the lid. You could nearly pack enough wax into but not quite and there wouldn't be room for anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
