racooper Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 But can you mix different FOs?Like cranberry and cinnamon? I am sure this is a stupid question, but I am starting over 6 or 7 years since my last. But I will let you in on a secret... I think I am going to make my first candle today!

carol k Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 yes you can, once in awhile you find some that won't mix. try the q-tip trick to see how your creations are going to smell. just stick a q-tip in each fo and put in a glass jar with a tight fitting lid and let sit for at least 4 hrs. open & sniff and if you want one stronger add another q-tip in that fo. 1 q-tip equals 1 part.

That will get you the most accurate scent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
