can someone expain the math to me

Hi everyone, me and math have never been good friends Can someone tell me if this is even close to being right for making body spray. From what Iv read you mix cyclo with fo 6-1, that gives you 7 oz.. if you wanted to make 4 oz would 3 1/4 - 3/4 about even with the 6-1 ratio? Dont laugh:cheesy2: I meant it when I couldnt do math I tried till 12:00 last night to figure out that much.lol. TIA

Pretty close. You want to have a total of 4 oz, made up of 7 parts (6 cyclo: 1 FO).

First, figure out how much a part is: 4 oz/7 = .57 oz

Then, your 6 parts of cyclo will be 6 * .57 = 3.4 oz

And your 1 part of FO will be 1 * .57 = .57 oz

I'd probably make it 3.5 cyclo and .5 FO - yours would be a little stronger.

Bless you Robin Im printing that out and putting it in my notes for the next time Im trying to figure ratios out.

i posted this on the BC board, thought it'd help ya:

it depends on the size...whatever it is, break it down to 7 parts.

example : for a 2 ounce total weight - 2.0 divide by 7 = approx .28 per part.

so you would use .28 fo and the rest is cyclo.

2 oz dry oil spray - .28 oz fo

4 oz dry oil spray - .57 oz fo

6 oz dry oil spray- .85 oz fo

8 oz dry oil spray - 1.14 oz fo

I just made my cyclo spray:

2 oz Cyclo

2 ox SAO

1/2 oz FO

When I sprayed it on my arm to test it, it worked great, but I think there is just too much FO in there. To me, it seems really strong so I'm going to cut it by adding another 4 oz (2 cyclo/2 sao), then see what I think.
