I did weigh every thing. I guess what the instructions on Nu-scent's was way too much. This is what they have • FORMULA: 12 oz. Nature Wax P-1 + 4 oz. Nu-Scents Palm Stearic Acid = 16 oz. Total (1 lb. of wax) • Add fragrance and dye, then stir thoroughly. Lonestar didn't have instructions as far as adding the stearic. I will try your suggestions. Thank you so much.
