What Wick calculates
Enter your vessel and wax, and Wick gives you the wax needed by vessel volume and container count, the fragrance load for your target percentage with a guardrail that warns when you exceed the wax's max or the fragrance's IFRA limit, a starting-point wick size by container diameter, and the per-candle cost of your batch.
