Split it into batches
At 10 kg per melt, 96.6 kg is 10 batches. Pour the same wax, oil, load and wick in every batch, log each bag's date, and keep one candle per batch as a retained sample.
Quote threshold. At 97 kg of one wax you are past the listed packs' natural size. The plan above is the listed-pack ceiling; message +91 7397976926 for a quote, and test at 1 kg first.
Turning 500 candles into melts your equipment can handle
The batch plan above assumes a 10 kg melt. Many makers who reach 500 candles are still melting in a pot that holds far less. The number of batches is set by your equipment, not by the size of the bag.
Count melts from your pot, not the bag
If your melter holds 5 kg of wax comfortably, the 96.6 kg needed for 500 candles at 200 g is 20 melts, not 10. At 100 g, 48.3 kg is ten 5 kg melts. At 300 g, 144.9 kg is 29. Write the melt count down before you promise a date, because every melt carries its own heating, pouring and cleaning time.
Each melt also leaves its own residue. Twice as many melts means roughly twice the film left in the pot and twice the chances of a spill. If you move from 10 kg melts to 5 kg melts, expect the 5% allowance to be used up rather than spare.
Weigh the oil for every melt
At 8% of total candle weight, the oil is 8/92 of the wax. For a 5 kg melt that is 5,000 × 8 ÷ 92, about 435 g of oil; for a 10 kg melt, about 870 g. Weigh it each time rather than pouring from the bottle by eye, and write the figure on your batch sheet.
Where 500-candle runs drift: The first few melts are weighed carefully and the later ones are rushed, so the last hundred candles come out weaker or stronger than the first. Keep the scale on the bench for every melt, not just the opening one.
Storing the wax between melts
At 500 candles you will have bags open for weeks. Fold and clip each opened bag, keep bags off the floor and away from a wall that takes the afternoon sun, and date each one as it arrives. In the monsoon, keep them clear of damp outside walls.
If the run falls between April and June, finished candles also need a place cooler than a closed room in a north or west Indian summer, which routinely reaches 40–45°C. Heavily scented candles can sweat in that heat.
Ask CSI before ordering
Ask on WhatsApp whether the bags for a 500-candle order can come from one production lot, and whether they can be sent in two parts to match your melting schedule. Ask for a quote on the whole quantity in the same message.Where this page fits
This page overlaps an older CSI guide, so it takes a narrower job and leaves the rest to that guide. In the Candle Business series, CSI-945 (wax for 500 candles) covers the business side.

Argue against interest
Buy the wax your candle needs, not the bag that looks professional.
We would sell more by telling you to buy 10 kg. On most of our waxes it is not cheaper per kilogram, and wax you cannot use before summer is a storage problem.
Price the candle, not the kilogram.

Why trust this guide
CANDLEMAKINGSUPPLIESINDIA supplies raw materials, not finished candles. We publish every pack price, so every per-kilogram and per-candle figure here can be checked against the product pages — including the ones that show a bigger bag is not cheaper.
Prices are taken from live CSI stock in September 2026. Where a product page does not publish a specification, this guide says so rather than filling the gap.
