By the way, she is the Suds part of that name. They both use the account. But I don't see many of her posts on here.

Suds_N_Flamez.I got most of my advice and idea to make candles from her. But I don't get along with her nasty snobby business partner (who my boyfriend cheated on me with) So I choose not to involve her in me learning how to make candles. I mean my sister and I talk about it.... but I am just looking to do it for a hobby right now. And I was afraid she would sugar coat my mistakes or laugh at my questions. So I asked you guys instead. Seem weird I bet.

Nevermind......................... LMAO at my dorkness.... I got it!

would I just take my 7 and multiply it by .16 and get 1.12 - which is the same thing you got for FO %? Then I would subtract 1.12 from 16 which equals 14.88 THEN (LOL) I would multiply 3 x 14.88 = which came up with 44.64 (wich like you said round up to .45, then subtract the .45 from the 14.88 and I come up with 14.43 Same as you. I guess it is just a different way of doing math. I am just not sure how you originally got the 14.88.

Actually when I multiply 16 by .07 I come up with 1.12 Did I do something wrong?

Thanks Bizzyb. *Giggles* This post is hilarious. What's with the Sparkette thing? Was she a pest or something?

Why try one at a time?

So it's wrong?

My sister belongs to this board and recently started making lotions and soaps. I would like to make candles. I have gotten a couple of books and took a class at our community center but I know have a long ways to go before I am popping out perfect candles. One of my main questions is.... when you buy a scent or follow certain guidelines it says to add an ounce of Fragrance Oil to one pound of wax BUT.... I just read on here on a thread that you have to subtract the content of the Fragrance oil out. So then how are you adding an ounce to a pound? Because if you are taking wax out of the pound, to make up for the Fragrance, it is no longer a pound of wax, right?
