Hi Everyone! I am just starting out and preparing my first order. I want to keep initial start up cost low so I am not sure how much wax to order. I am going to start with making 16oz candles. I know that 2 cups of wax will be needed for each candle although how many cups of wax is there per pound? My email is kmcdwyer@comcast.net if any of you have business start up insight to share directly. Thanks and I am looking forward to learning together! Kimberly
