Stella, I was confused about the ......weight vs volume. I understood somewhat, but got confused about the scale thing, because I thought a measuring cup, was the same thing as a scale, just a different "way" of doing things. I'll explain further down in THIS post. :smiley2: Jami - I agree, step by step are the easiest to understand! Tereasa, Thank you that did help more, and I think now that I read what you were saying, I think I "am" doing it right. Let me try to explain what I'm doing thus far - and you all can tell me if it's right. LOL Okay here is what I'm doing. As a side note, I am ONLY doing this for personal candle use in MY home, and GIFTS for friends and family. So perfection, etc - is not the key here. I have no interest in making these to sell. It's just we use so many candles here in the house, that I figured it would be cheaper to make them myself, than buy them! LOL :rolleyes2 What is key, is the fact I don't "waste" oils and such, as they aren't cheap! :lipsrseal Okay, I went to a candle supplier, and bought 5lb bag of Soy Wax (looked like white sugar), I bought 5; 1 oz scents, I bought 2; blocks of color dye, a thermometer, and a Presto Kitchen Kettle. I came home, and poured the entire bag of dry wax in the Kettle. It turned to liquid form after awhile. I had my Pyrex Measuring Cup, and I dipped out "liquid form", until my measuring cup said I had 8 ounces. I then colored it. Then I added my Scent. Which I measured in LIQUID Form, in a unit measuring glass. I measured out, .5 (1/2 oz) ounces of Liquid Scent, Added that to my liquid 8 ounce of Wax. Is that the right formula or still no? Or does that not make sense either?
