dee263 Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 You've only got part of the equation. How much is the 8% part of? In other words, are you trying to find 8% of 1 lb? 8% of 1 lb is 1.28 oz (16 x 8%); 8% of 5 lbs is 6.4 oz (5 x 16 = 80 x 8%) I know that's probably as clear as mud!!!

Denise06 Posted March 19, 2006 Author Share Posted March 19, 2006 what i am trying to find out is my supplier said that soy wax will hold about 6% of fo and the preblend will hold about 8.5% of fo. I just wanted to know is how much is 8.5% of fo i will use for1 lb.. of pre blend wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wanted to know is how much is 8.5% of fo i will use for1 lb.. of pre blend wax.Dee's formulation was very clear. Just multiply 8.5% times 16 oz (1lb) and you'll get the amount for one pound of wax.edited to add (just in case you are math impaired like I am, that's .085 times 16) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
