You can get a variety of answers on this ....but I will say this, sometimes less FO is better. Just because you can use 1 1/2 ounces per pound, doesn't mean you have to. Everyone has a few favorite suppliers.... mine are (today- may change tomorrow) Peaks ICS Just Scent Bittercreek south Candlemakers store (steve) Nature's Garden Cajun Candles Candles and Supplies I could go on...but that wouldn't help you...with each supplier there are certain fragrances I use that other other supplier doesn't carry or theirs isn't as good.
