itsmejeffd Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 I was wondering if a FO could be used as a Pot Pourri oil, both in and out of a warmer. Also, what about putting it in one of those metal rings you put on a light bulb? I guess that would probably get it too hot and you might have a bit of a problem once it reached its flash point.

AngelaVA Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Not sure if it would be fine by itself, but I think you can mix it with DPG and use it for potpourri oil. Hopefully someone else will chime in, since I've never actually done it before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candelecandlecompany Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 The scented oils we make and sell do wonderful in potpourri burners/oil burners. The only problem I have had is we only use the purest oils and just the other day I just made a batch of Blueberry Cheesecake. My hubby saw it and loved the smell. He dumped some in one of our potpourri burners and I thought I was going to croak! I love the smell but it really needed to be cut with dpg, at least once! So I guess it would just depend on the scent and the strength. We always recommend that if customers buy our scents to use in potpourri burners that they either buy the dpg and cut it themselves or buy the strength that we cut just for that use! We have never had any problems with the flashpoints and we test all of our oils before we sell them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsmejeffd Posted April 3, 2006 Author Share Posted April 3, 2006 Thank you for your help everyone. I'll look into DPG. Although, it may not be for a while yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
