I started in the shed in the backyard, but I moved to the kitchen today. I realized that I need the kitchen atmosphere. Also, the first batch seems to have come out alright. I didn't measure frangrance oil or dye, I just put it in there kind of quick for fear that the max would cool off too quickly before I could mix and stir eveything. The next batch I'll have to sit and measure things. What's a good tool to use to measure Frangrance oil? I heard u can't measure it by weight, u have to go by volume? Eek!
