I think I may have come up with a solution! The base was rather thick and soapy. I have diluted it with distilled water (50%). This has cleared up the "chemical" smell (nail polish smell, really) and now my fine mist sprayers actually spray a fine mist. I'm glad not to waste the 5 gal, as it cost quite a bit with shipping, and now I get twice as much!

Can anyone recommend a Room/Linen Spray base that they have really liked? I orded one (5 gal.!) from one company and am not really pleased with it. It has a "chemical" smell under the fragrance, and I don't think that the fragance is carried well in the room (I do shake before I spray). It says the max FO I can use is 2% (1 tsp. per 8oz.) I used this much. I have heard that some r/l bases need to/can be watered down. Is that true with any base, or do the companies reccomend it? Does it help cut down on the "chemical" smell, or just stretch out the base? Also, the bottles I got were a great deal, but the sprayers don' have a very fine mist. Any suggestions? Thanks so much!

Does anyone know how to make a "scoopable tart"? Some call it a tart in a tin. It has an ice-cream-like consitancy. You just scoop some out and put it in a tart warmer. Any ideas?
