    I start out with a 4 to 1 ratio except for leather and leather blends. Leather seems to take forever to soak up and it's my biggest seller. Even at a smaller ratio I sometimes have to add a few more beads after a week to 10 days if they're still very wet. It also depends on where you get your beads. Aztec, NG and Cajun's beads all take longer to soak up most fragrances in my opinion. They're also bigger beads. The smaller ones from BCN or Aroma Beads online seem to soak up faster.

    So if I’m understanding this right. It would be 4 oz of beads to 1 oz of

    oil?

    Is this for soap or candles? If soap the above suggestions are great and both places have amazing neon colors - 

    If for candles, you can go to Candles and Supplies, The CandleMakers Store, and/or Bitter Creek. However, most (not all) neon candle dyes are made out of pigment, so you have to be careful as to not clog your wick. Also, I've never seen a neon purple for candles, but I think TKB does have a neon purple for soaps. (at least I know they used too, I haven't been to their site in quite some time!) 

    I completely forgot to mention I was looking for liquid candle dye 😩

  3. What exactly is the 4/1 ratio? I’ve read different things and all it has done is confused me. I have used beads from aroma online and they soaked up fast but scent was very strong nor did it last long. This time I got my beads from ng 

  4. I’ve read that the ratio used is 1/4 fragrance to 3 cups of beads. I did this and it seemed very wet! So I added more beads until it didn’t look so bad. Or is this how it’s supposed to be until they dry up?
