Perfect — thanks. Let’s put that into clean numbers with your real situation and cost impact clearly laid out.

🧮 Current situation summary
You have ≈33.6–35.4 kg clean wax now → 470–496 foundation sheets.
You’ll use 341 sheets now, leaving ≈129–155 sheets spare.
In spring, you’ll need 550 sheets.
Therefore, you’ll need an additional 395–421 sheets, equal to ≈28.2–30.1 kg of clean wax.

💰 Cost if you buy that missing wax
At 25 €/kg, cost = weight × 25 €:
Needed wax Cost
28.2 kg 705 €
30.1 kg 752.50 €
✅ Expected cost range: ≈ 705 – 750 € to buy enough clean wax for all 550 spring frames.

🐝 If you instead melt down the 550 spring frames
You’ll likely produce that same 28–30 kg yourself if those frames average about 80 g wax per frame — meaning:
You save ≈ 700–750 € worth of wax,
And you stay 100 % in your own wax cycle (no mixing of outside wax).

Would you like me to calculate what that 30 kg could yield in additional foundation sheets or value if sold (e.g., if you ever sell part of your wax)?
