kathleen Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Two oz per lb? That's an awful lot... The ecosoya didn't throw with a lot of scents for me and I stopped using it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandmaskitchen Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Try using 6% FO per pound (1 oz) and see how that works. 2 ozs. for one pound of wax sounds a bit extreme. They say less is better. You could always try it and see how it works. Or, maybe your FO just won't work with this wax and you could try something different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stacien Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I read with some suppliers that butterscotch is not a strong thrower with vegetable base waxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iammommytwo Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 I agree that it could be the FO, and I also agree to try 1oz pp. I use the same PB and have great success w/it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowded House Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 I read with some suppliers that butterscotch is not a strong thrower with vegetable base waxes.MC's Honey Butter is pretty close (to a butterscotch) and has a very nice throw with 415 soy.
