Scented Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 By weight. On a scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 We make our candles highly scented, we pride ourselves on that. When we make say a 400gm candle we will add 10% ( in most cases ) FO to it, so 10% of 400 is 40, so we add 40gm.Hope that helpsKeithCandelights in the UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smart tart Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 10% is rather high - if you are using a good fo, that much is usually not necessary - and there are waxes that will not hold 10%....With that being said, everything should be measured using a scale......Debbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillgunter Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Usually 6% of FO is plenty if its a good FO. 1 oz of FO to 1 pd of wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
