Candle Business Guides · Batch Rescue
You do not guess, you reconstruct. Two weighings — the batch and the oil bottle — give you the only two numbers the formula needs, and from there the correction is arithmetic. At 5 kg the interesting cost is no longer the wax. It is the four hours of remelting.

plain wax added to a 5 kg batch carrying 550 g of oil — 11% down to 8% of total wax weight · ₹1,194.38 of CSI 468, five melt cycles, about 4 h 20 m, and 27 candles becoming 37 · CSI live pricing, September 2026
Quick answers — read this first
Can it be corrected? Yes, if you can establish the oil weight. That single number is the difference between a calculation and a guess. Weigh the whole batch and weigh the oil bottle, and both the wax weight and the load fall out.The sum, worked: 5,000 g of wax carrying 550 g of oil is 11% of total wax weight. At 8% that oil needs 550 ÷ 0.08 = 6,875 g of wax, so you add 1,875 g — ₹1,194.38 of CSI 468 at the 5 kg rate of ₹637 a kilo. The batch becomes 7,425 g, or 37 × 200 g candles instead of 27.
What does it really cost? Not the wax. Five melt cycles and about 4 h 20 m against 2 h 47 m to pour the original batch — an extra 1 h 33 m for ten extra candles. New money works out at ₹74.88 per finished candle against ₹194.70 to write the blend off and remake 27.
If you cannot find the oil weight? Then stop calculating. Dilute by ratio — add an equal weight of plain wax, which halves whatever the load was — label the result, and burn-test it as a new formula.
The short answer
Two weighings, then one division: batch weight minus oil weight gives the wax; oil ÷ wax gives the load you actually made; oil ÷ target load gives the wax you need. Everything else is subtraction.
At 5 kg the constraint is your pot, not your wallet: 7,425 g of blend will not go through most domestic setups in one pass, so plan the correction as a sequence of weighed sub-batches with the total written down.
Price the hours, not just the grams: the wax is ₹1,194.38 and the labour, on an assumed rate, is about ₹650. That ratio is what makes commercial-scale rescues a scheduling decision.
In this guide
At one kilo a load correction is a ten-minute job and the only number that matters is the wax. At five kilos the wax is ₹1,194.38 and the labour is most of an afternoon, which is why the decision to correct a production batch is a scheduling decision first and a costing one second.

Straight answer
I have 5 kg of scented wax at the wrong percentage. How do I work out the correction properly?
Reconstruct the batch from two weighings, then divide. Weigh the whole batch — poured candles plus whatever is left in the pot — and weigh the oil bottle against its listed fill. In the worked case here the bottle is 550 g down on a 1 kg Roasted Coffee Fragrance Oil, and the batch reads 5,550 g, so the wax is 5,000 g and the load is 550 ÷ 5,000 = 11.0% of total wax weight — above the "6-10% for soy wax candles" that oil page states, though still inside the up to 13% stated on Premium Coconut Soy CSI 468. To make that same oil 8%, the wax must total 550 ÷ 0.08 = 6,875 g, so you add 1,875 g: ₹1,194.38 at the 5 kg rate of ₹637 a kilo. The corrected batch is 7,425 g — 37 candles at a 200 g fill instead of 27 — and the wax-and-oil cost falls from ₹188.86 to ₹173.34 per candle. Then comes the part the one-kilo guides never mention. Seven and a half kilos will not pass through a domestic melter in one go, so the correction becomes five weighed sub-batches, roughly 4 h 20 m of work against 2 h 47 m for the original pour — 1 h 33 m extra for ten extra candles, or 9.3 minutes each. Counting an assumed ₹150 an hour for your own time, new money is ₹74.88 per finished candle against ₹194.70 to bin the blend and remake 27 from fresh material. And if you cannot establish the oil weight at all, do not calculate: add an equal weight of plain wax, which halves whatever the load was, label it honestly and burn-test the result as a new formula.
One line: weigh the batch, weigh the bottle, divide the oil by your target load — then budget five melt cycles rather than one, because at 5 kg the labour is the expensive half.
A 5 kg correction needs about 2 kg of plain wax. Premium Coconut Soy CSI 468 5 kg at ₹3,185 works out at ₹637 a kilo — a step down from the ₹650 kilo pack — and Luxury Soy Wax Chunks 5 kg at ₹2,995 holds flat at ₹599.

How to establish what is actually in the pot
Every wrong correction at this scale starts the same way: with a percentage someone remembers rather than a weight someone recorded.
"I think I put in about 10%" is not an input to a formula. The formula needs grams of oil, and there are only three honest ways to get that figure. The good news is that one of them almost always works, and none of them takes more than ten minutes.
Three routes to the oil weight
In order of reliability, with what each one can and cannot tell you
| Route | What you do | What it gives you | Where it fails |
|---|---|---|---|
| The batch sheet | Read the line you wrote before melting | Both numbers exactly, in seconds | Only if you wrote it. Most people reading this did not |
| The bottle | Weigh the oil bottle, subtract from its listed fill, allow for the empty bottle's own weight | Oil used to within a few grams | Fails if you poured from two bottles, or the bottle was already part-used with no record |
| The batch, by subtraction | Weigh all poured candles minus their empty jars, plus whatever is left in the pot; subtract your known wax weight | The oil figure, if the wax weight is certain | Fails if the wax weight is also a guess — then you have one equation and two unknowns |
CSI oils are listed in 15 g, 50 g, 100 g, 500 g and 1 kg sizes, which is what makes the bottle route work so often: a 1 kg bottle that now weighs 450 g of contents has given up 550 g, and that is your number. Write it down before you do anything else, because the moment you start adding wax, the evidence is gone.
1
Weigh three empty jars and three filled candlesAverage both. The difference is your real fill weight per candle, which is often not the 200 g on your plan. Multiply by the candle count to get the poured blend, then add what is still in the pot. That total is the batch weight — here, 5,550 g.
2
Weigh the oil bottle and close the arithmeticListed fill minus current contents gives the oil used: 550 g. Batch weight minus oil weight gives the wax: 5,550 − 550 = 5,000 g. Load = 550 ÷ 5,000 = 11.0% of total wax weight. Write all four figures on one line.
3
Check both ceilings before choosing a targetThe CSI 468 page states a load up to 13%; the Roasted Coffee page states 6-10% for soy wax candles, cure 48-72 hours and 10-15% for wax melts. Work to the lower figure. Eleven percent is over it, so this batch needs correcting even though the wax page would tolerate it.
4
Do the division and buy the wax before you melt anything550 ÷ 0.08 = 6,875 g of wax needed; 6,875 − 5,000 = 1,875 g to add. Buy it, weigh it out into five labelled portions of 375 g, and only then start the first cycle. A correction that runs out of wax halfway through is two batches, not one.
5
Decide your sub-batch size from a weighed pot, not a litre figureThe Mini Electric Wax Melter is stated at 1 litre capacity and the imported Electric Wax Melter at 10 kg and 20 kg capacity — one in volume, the others in weight. Do not convert between them. Fill your own vessel with wax to a safe working level, weigh it, and use that figure. The plan here assumes a 1.5 kg working weight, which is an assumption about a domestic pan, not a specification.
6
Run each cycle to the same script and log itWeigh in the scented blend, weigh in its share of the plain wax, hold the pot in the range the wax page states, stir two full minutes, pour, record the actual weights and temperatures. Five identical cycles give you one batch. Five improvised ones give you five loads.
Don't scale a correction off a percentage you remember. The single most expensive error at this scale is treating "I used about 11%" as good enough and adding 1,875 g to a batch that actually carried 620 g of oil. If the oil is really 620 g, then 6,875 g of wax gives you 9.0% rather than 8.0% — still over the Roasted Coffee page's stated 10% only by luck, and a full percentage point away from the recipe on your label. At 5 kg, a 70 g error in the oil figure is a whole percentage point in the result. Weigh the bottle. It takes thirty seconds and it is the only thirty seconds on this page that cannot be skipped.
The recalculation, at 5 kg
Here is the whole correction on Premium Coconut Soy CSI 468 at the 5 kg rate of ₹637 a kilo (₹0.637 a gram) with Roasted Coffee Fragrance Oil at the 1 kg rate of ₹3,738 (₹3.738 a gram, the rate you pay when a batch needs 550 g).
5,000 g wax + 550 g oil, corrected to 8% of total wax weight
Every figure the recalculation moves, per batch and per candle
| Measure | As made (11%) | Corrected to 10% | Corrected to 8% |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wax | 5,000 g | 5,500 g | 6,875 g |
| Wax to add | — | 500 g | 1,875 g |
| Cost of the addition at ₹637/kg | — | ₹318.50 | ₹1,194.38 |
| Oil | 550 g | 550 g | 550 g (unchanged) |
| Load, % of total wax weight | 11.00% | 10.00% | 8.00% |
| Load, % of finished candle | 9.91% | 9.09% | 7.41% |
| Batch weight | 5,550 g | 6,050 g | 7,425 g |
| 200 g candles | 27 | 30 | 37 |
| Wax per candle | 180.18 g | 181.82 g | 185.19 g |
| Oil per candle | 19.82 g | 18.18 g | 14.81 g |
| Wax + oil per candle | ₹188.86 | ₹183.78 | ₹173.34 |
| Inside the oil page's stated 6–10%? | No | On the line | Yes |
Worked out above: load = 550 ÷ 5,000 = 11.00% of wax weight, or 550 ÷ 5,550 = 9.91% of the finished candle. At 8%: wax needed = 550 ÷ 0.08 = 6,875 g; to add = 1,875 g at ₹0.637/g = ₹1,194.38; batch = 7,425 g; 7,425 ÷ 200 = 37 candles. At 10%: 550 ÷ 0.10 = 5,500 g; to add = 500 g = ₹318.50; batch = 6,050 g; 30 candles. Per candle at 8%: wax share 1 ÷ 1.08 = 92.59% of 200 g = 185.19 g at ₹0.637 = ₹117.96, plus 14.81 g of oil at ₹3.738 = ₹55.38, total ₹173.34. At 11%: 180.18 g wax = ₹114.78 plus 19.82 g oil = ₹74.08, total ₹188.86. Candle counts carry no remelt allowance.
Why this particular wax makes the remelt easier
CSI 468's page states a melting point of 50–53°C and a pour temperature of 58–60°C — markedly lower than the 80–90°C stated on CSI 464 and the 80–90°C add window on Luxury Soy Wax Chunks. Across five remelt cycles that difference is worth having: less heat, less time at temperature, less chance of scorching a sub-batch while you attend to another. It also changes your thermometer discipline completely, because a 60°C pour gives you a narrower window than an 80°C one. Whatever wax you are correcting, work to the range its own page states and no higher — a remelt is never a reason to push a wax past its published figures.The correction priced in hours
This guide's unit of analysis is the hour of labour, because at five kilos it is the hour that decides whether the correction happens tonight, this weekend or not at all. The timings below are planning assumptions for a domestic setup — a 1.5 kg working weight per cycle, 25 minutes to melt, five to weigh and dose, three to stir, ten to pour and tidy. Time one cycle of your own and replace every figure.
Labour plan · assumed 1.5 kg working weight per melt cycle
The corrected batch against the original pour, cycle by cycle
| Step | Original pour · 5,550 g | Corrected batch · 7,425 g |
|---|---|---|
| Reconstruct and weigh | — | 20 min |
| Melt cycles needed | 4 | 5 |
| Per cycle: melt | 25 min | 25 min |
| Per cycle: weigh and dose the plain wax | — | 5 min |
| Per cycle: stir two full minutes | 3 min | 3 min |
| Per cycle: pour and tidy | 10 min | 10 min |
| Cycle total | 38 min | 43 min |
| All cycles | 152 min | 215 min |
| Setup and clean down | 15 min | 25 min |
| Total labour | 2 h 47 m | 4 h 20 m |
| Candles produced | 27 | 37 |
| Candles per hour of labour | 9.7 | 8.5 |
| Labour at an assumed ₹150/hour | ₹417.50 | ₹650 |
The finding worth carrying away is in the last-but-two row. The correction is barely less productive per hour than a clean pour — 8.5 candles an hour against 9.7 — which is not what most makers expect when they imagine "redoing" a batch. The extra work is 1 h 33 m and it produces ten extra candles, which is 9.3 minutes of labour per additional candle, or ₹23.25 on an assumed ₹150 an hour. Set that against the ₹119.82 of material each of those candles does not cost you, and the hour stops being the argument against correcting.
Don't compress five cycles into two by overfilling the pot. This is the temptation at hour three, and it produces the two faults that will actually cost you the batch: wax heated well past its stated range because the mass at the bottom is insulated by the mass above it, and a stir that cannot reach the whole volume, leaving sub-batches at different loads. A pot filled beyond a safe working level is also a spill and burn hazard on a domestic hob. If the clock is the problem, split the correction across two evenings — store the corrected sub-batches as labelled slabs and pour them together once everything is done. Nothing in the arithmetic requires the whole batch to be molten at the same time.
The CSI principle
At one kilo, a load correction costs wax. At five kilos, it costs an afternoon. Price both before you decide.
The arithmetic does not change with scale — oil ÷ target load is the same division at 1 kg and at 50 kg. What changes is the number of times you have to melt, weigh, stir and pour to apply it. That is why a production-scale rescue is planned as a sequence of weighed sub-batches with a written total, and why the honest answer at large scale is sometimes to correct part of the batch and repurpose the rest.
Rescue against remake, per candle and per hour
Two routes with the sunk ₹5,240.90 of original wax and oil excluded from both, because it is spent either way. "New money" is what leaves your account from today, and it includes the ten extra jars and the wicks, because 37 candles need 37 of each.
New money and new hours · 5,550 g of blend at 11% as the starting point
Correct the blend, or write it off and pour 27 fresh candles into the same jars
| Line | Correct the blend | Write off and remake 27 |
|---|---|---|
| Wax bought from today | 1,875 g = ₹1,194.38 | 5,000 g = ₹3,185 |
| Oil bought from today | ₹0 — already in the pot | 400 g = ₹1,495.20 |
| Wicks | 37 × ₹5.90 = ₹218.30 | 27 × ₹5.90 = ₹159.30 |
| Extra jars | 10 × ₹70.80 = ₹708 | ₹0 — the 27 jars are reused |
| Labour at an assumed ₹150/hour | 4 h 20 m = ₹650 | 2 h 47 m = ₹417.50 |
| Total new money | ₹2,770.68 | ₹5,257 |
| Finished candles | 37 | 27 |
| New money per candle | ₹74.88 | ₹194.70 |
| Material value binned | ₹0 | ₹5,240.90 |
| Cure and burn test required | Yes, in full | Yes, in full |
The gap is ₹119.82 per candle and it is almost entirely the oil line. That gives you the threshold to apply to your own batch: correct whenever the oil already in the pot is worth more than the extra jars, wicks and hours the larger batch will consume. Here the oil is ₹2,055.90 against ₹708 of jars, ₹218.30 of wicks and ₹650 of assumed labour — ₹1,576.30 in total, so the correction clears its own cost by ₹479.60 before a single candle is sold. Where that test genuinely fails is with a cheap oil, an expensive vessel and a pressing deadline, and in that case the honest answer is to correct part of the batch and repurpose the remainder rather than to bin the lot.
A five-kilo mistake is not five times a one-kilo mistake. The wax scales linearly; the afternoon does not.

If you cannot establish the oil weight
There is a correct answer for a batch with no records, and it is not a more confident guess.
Suppose the bottle route fails, the batch sheet does not exist, and you poured from two part-used bottles of the same oil. You genuinely do not know the oil weight. Every formula on this page is now unavailable — but the batch is not lost. What you switch from is correcting to a target, and what you switch to is diluting by a known ratio.
Diluting by ratio, when the load is unknown
What each ratio does to whatever load you actually had, with the cost per kilo of blend on CSI 468
| Plain wax added | Whatever your load was, it becomes | If you were at 11%, you land at | If you were at 16%, you land at | Cost of the addition per kg of wax you have |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 25% of the wax you have | About four-fifths of it | 8.8% | 12.8% | ₹159.25 |
| 50% of the wax you have | Two-thirds of it | 7.3% | 10.7% | ₹318.50 |
| 100% — an equal weight | Half of it | 5.5% | 8.0% | ₹637 |
The equal-weight route is the safe default for a batch with no records, because halving an unknown load is the only operation you can be certain about. It cannot leave you above where you were, it cannot leave you at a number you have mis-derived, and it puts almost any plausible over-dose inside a stated band. What it cannot do is tell you the resulting percentage, which means the batch must be labelled for what it is — "diluted 1:1 from an unmeasured blend, date" — and burn-tested from zero like any new formula. Never print a percentage you calculated backwards from a guess.
And never top the oil back up to "balance" a dilution. Once you are diluting an unknown, adding more oil means adding a guessed quantity to an unknown quantity, which is how a maker ends up right back above a ceiling with even less idea of where they are. If the diluted batch cures quiet, that is information for the next batch — one you will measure properly and document. Use the quiet batch as testers, samples or wax melts, where several CSI oil pages state higher loads in any case: Roasted Coffee states 10-15% for wax melts against 6-10% for soy candles.
What to buy for a 5 kg correction
Plain wax, ten more jars, a wick for every candle, and — if five melt cycles on a hob is the part putting you off — a melter that holds temperature while you work. The size tables show how far each pack goes at 8% of total wax weight, 185 g of wax per 200 g candle on this convention.

Correction wax · stated up to 13%, pour 58–60°C
Premium Coconut Soy Wax CSI 468 (Flakes)
The wax this correction is priced on, and one of the few CSI waxes whose listed price steps down with pack size: ₹650 for a kilo against ₹637 a kilo at 5 kg and 10 kg. For a 1,875 g addition the 5 kg bag at ₹3,185 is the sensible buy, with 3.1 kg sealed for next time. Its page states a fragrance load up to 13%, a melting point of 50–53°C and a pour temperature of 58–60°C — the lowest working range of any CSI container wax, which is genuinely useful across five remelt cycles. One CSI customer, Arminder Kaur, writes that "all the materials are high quality and ultimate fragrance range".

Jars for the ten candles the correction creates
Black Matte Glass Jar
Its page states a fill weight of 200 ml with height 8 cm and width 7 cm. Read that as written: 200 ml is not 200 g. CSI's jar pages give capacity in millilitres, and wax is not water, so the only number worth planning a 37-candle pour from is the weight on your own scale after you have filled one jar and weighed it. At ₹70.80 each the ten extra jars cost ₹708 — the second largest line in the correction after the wax, and the one that most often turns a rescue into a partial rescue.

The cheapest line, and the one to retest on
Eco Candle Wicks — Thin (C1) and Thick (C2)
Thirty-seven wicks for the batch, plus a handful of the other size for the burn test. Per-piece pricing is flat across every listed pack — ₹5.90 for Thin (C1), ₹9.44 for Thick (C2) — so a 50-pack of C1 at ₹295 covers the batch with spares and a 20-pack of C2 at ₹188.80 gives you the comparison. The 10-wick pack of Thick (C2) is currently sold out; the 20-pack is listed. Because the corrected candle carries 5 g less oil per 200 g, the wick that behaved at 11% is an assumption rather than a result.
| Size | Price | Per piece | candles |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thin (C1) / 10 Wicks | ₹59 | ₹5.90 | ≈10 |

The oil the correction protects · stated 6–10% for soy
Roasted Coffee Fragrance Oil
Included for the numbers rather than the purchase: this is the oil the whole correction is priced against, and its page is unusually explicit. It states "6-10% for soy wax candles, cure 48-72 hours", "6-8% for paraffin wax", "10-15% for wax melts" and a Flashpoint ~191-193°C — a safety and storage figure, not an add temperature and not permission to run a pot hotter. Note the per-gram price falls with pack size, from ₹3.90 at 100 g to ₹3.738 at 1 kg, which is the rate a 550 g pour actually costs you. Two CSI customers describe it as "really amazing" and "quite strong".

Heat history, cure and the retest
Five cycles means the scented blend has been heated twice and some of it held at temperature for a while. That is worth being straight about rather than hand-waving: every remelt adds heat history, and nobody publishes a figure for how many cycles a given soy wax will tolerate before its behaviour changes. What you can do is minimise it and then test what you actually have.
After a five-cycle correction
What is still valid, what is void, and what nobody can tell you
| Item | Status | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Wax identity and stated temperatures | Valid | CSI 468: melt 50–53°C, pour 58–60°C. Work inside it on every cycle |
| Fragrance identity | Valid | Nothing. Same oil, less of it per gram |
| Fragrance load and batch sheet | Void | Rewrite: "8% of total wax weight, corrected from 11%", with the new batch weight and candle count |
| Wick size | Void | Burn one candle of each wick size to a full melt pool before releasing 37 candles |
| Cure | Restarts at this pour | Roasted Coffee states 48-72 hours for soy; longer reads stronger |
| Consistency across the five sub-batches | Only as good as your logging | Pour the sub-batches into one vessel and stir before filling jars, if your pot allows |
| Effect of two heat cycles on this wax | Not published anywhere | Keep cycles short, stay inside the stated range, and judge the cured candle. Do not assume a limit and do not assume there is none |
| Batch code and labels | Void | New code covering all 37 candles. Never mix corrected and original stock under one code |
Prevention, last and short: the whole four hours in this guide exists because one line was not written down. Wax name, wax grams, oil name, oil grams, load and basis, date — six fields, thirty seconds, before the wax goes on the heat. Tare the pot and weigh the oil into it rather than pouring from the bottle, and weigh the bottle before and after so the sheet records what went in. Makers who do that never reconstruct a batch; they just do the division. The wider discipline for scaling a proven recipe is in how to compare two fragrance oils using a controlled burn test.
Why trust this guide
CANDLEMAKINGSUPPLIESINDIA supplies raw materials, not finished candles. A wax supplier writing this page has every incentive to tell you the fix is simply more wax. Instead it tells you that the wax is the cheap half, that the honest answer for a batch with no records is a 1:1 dilution you cannot put a percentage on, and that nobody — us included — publishes a figure for how many remelt cycles a soy wax will take.
Every price and pack size here comes from live CSI stock in September 2026 and links to the product page, where current pricing always takes precedence. Stated loads, temperatures, capacities, cure guidance and flash points are quoted only where the page states them — "Fragrance Load Up to 13%", melting point 50–53°C and pour temperature 58–60°C on CSI 468; "6-10% for soy wax candles, cure 48-72 hours", "10-15% for wax melts" and "Flashpoint ~191-193°C" on Roasted Coffee; "fill weight of 200 ml" and "Height 8 cm width 7 cm" on the Black Matte Glass Jar; "1 litre capacity" on the Mini Electric Wax Melter and "10 kgs capacity" and "20 kgs capacity" on the imported Electric Wax Melter. A flash point is a safety and storage figure, not an add temperature. Cycle times, the 1.5 kg working weight and the ₹150 per hour labour rate are planning assumptions, clearly labelled as such throughout.

Frequently asked questions
How do I work out how much wax to add to 5 kg at the wrong percentage?
Get the oil weight first, then divide. Batch weight minus oil weight gives the wax; oil ÷ wax gives the load you made; oil ÷ target load gives the wax you need. For 5,000 g of wax carrying 550 g of oil — 11% of total wax weight — 550 ÷ 0.08 = 6,875 g, so you add 1,875 g. That is ₹1,194.38 of CSI 468 at the 5 kg rate, and the batch becomes 7,425 g — 37 candles at a 200 g fill instead of 27.
What if I don't know how much fragrance oil went into the batch?
Then you cannot calculate a target, and you should not pretend to. Dilute by ratio instead: add an equal weight of plain wax, which halves whatever the load was, whatever it was. If you were at 11% you land at 5.5%; at 16% you land at 8%. Label the result honestly — "diluted 1:1 from an unmeasured blend", with the date — and burn-test it as a new formula. Never back-calculate a percentage from a guess and print it.
How long does it actually take to correct a 5 kg batch?
On a domestic setup, plan for about 4 h 20 m: a 20-minute reconstruction and weighing pass, five melt cycles of roughly 43 minutes each at an assumed 1.5 kg working weight, and 25 minutes of clean down. That is 1 h 33 m more than the 2 h 47 m the original 27-candle pour took, for ten extra candles — 9.3 minutes of labour each. Time one cycle of your own and replace these figures; they are planning assumptions, not measurements.
Is it cheaper to correct 5 kg or to write it off and start again?
Correcting, by a wide margin, because the fragrance is the expensive ingredient and correcting keeps it. New money on the correction is ₹2,770.68 for 37 candles — ₹74.88 each — including wax, ten extra jars, 37 wicks and labour at an assumed ₹150 an hour. Writing off and remaking 27 candles is ₹5,257, or ₹194.70 each, and it bins ₹5,240.90 of material. The threshold: correct whenever the oil in the pot is worth more than the extra jars, wicks and hours.
How many times can I remelt the same wax?
No CSI page states a number, and we are not going to invent one. What is true is that each cycle is more heat history, and that the honest controls are to keep cycles short, stay inside the temperature range the wax page states — 50–53°C melt and 58–60°C pour on CSI 468 — and never push a wax hotter to save time. Then judge the result: if a twice-melted batch cures with a poor surface, a dull throw or a changed pour behaviour, that is your limit on that wax, measured rather than assumed.
Can I add a different wax, since I need nearly 2 kg?
The grams would still work, because the load arithmetic only counts weight. Everything else would not. Blend CSI 468, whose page states a melt of 50–53°C and a pour of 58–60°C, with CSI 464, whose page states 80–90°C for both, and no page anywhere describes the result — not its melt point, not its pour window, not its fragrance capacity. If the same wax is unavailable, wait for it, or accept that you have created a new formula and test it from zero.
Weigh it, divide it, then book the afternoon
550 ÷ 0.08 = 6,875 g. Add 1,875 g, run five cycles, and 27 candles become 37.

Stated specifications as published on product pages: CSI 468 "Fragrance Load Up to 13%", "Melting Point 50°C – 53°C", "Pour Temperature 58°C – 60°C"; CSI 464 "Fragrance Load Up to 10%", melting point and pour temperature both 80–90°C; Luxury Soy Wax Chunks "8% to 13% of total wax weight", add 80–90°C, pour 70–80°C; Roasted Coffee Fragrance Oil "6-10% for soy wax candles, cure 48-72 hours", "6-8% for paraffin wax", "10-15% for wax melts", "Flashpoint ~191-193°C"; Black Matte Glass Jar "fill weight of 200 ml", "Height 8 cm width 7 cm"; Mini Electric Wax/Soap Melter "1 litre capacity"; Electric Wax Melter (Imported) stated as 10 kgs and 20 kgs capacity. Loads are wax and oil formulation figures, not regulatory limits, and a flash point is a safety and storage figure rather than an add temperature. Assumptions, labelled as such: the example batch of 5,000 g wax + 550 g oil and the 27-candle count are a worked example, not measured data; all load arithmetic is a percentage of total wax weight unless the finished-candle basis is named; the 1.5 kg working weight per melt cycle, the 25/5/3/10-minute cycle breakdown, the 20-minute reconstruction pass, the 25-minute clean down and the ₹150 per hour labour rate are planning assumptions for a domestic setup — time and cost your own; no remelt-loss allowance is applied to the candle counts, and remelt losses should be measured on your own batch; the 200 g fill weight is a planning figure and jar capacities are stated in millilitres, so weigh a filled jar; pick-card candle counts assume 185 g of wax per 200 g candle at 8% of wax weight. Arithmetic: 1,875 g × ₹0.637 = ₹1,194.38; 550 g × ₹3.738 = ₹2,055.90; correction new money ₹1,194.38 + ₹218.30 + ₹708 + ₹650 = ₹2,770.68 ÷ 37 = ₹74.88; remake ₹3,185 + ₹1,495.20 + ₹159.30 + ₹417.50 = ₹5,257 ÷ 27 = ₹194.70.
