jchernyb Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 I am starting back making candles again but I have one question concerning FO percentages. I know in the past I was using 1oz FO per 1lb of wax. What percentage is that? The wax I am thinking of switching to says that it can take up to 10% FO and I dont know how much that is. Is there somewhere where these percentages are on this forum? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Here ya go. 1/4oz = 1.5% 1/2oz = 3% 3/4oz = 4.5% 1oz = 6% 1.2oz = 7% 1.6oz = 10% 2oz = 12.5% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
