how much FO to add

[Wick'n'Wax]

I have a 325g packet of gel wax. How much FO in ml would I need to add to say 100g?

[Wick'n'Wax]

right, I've read its 3% which on 100g would be 3g. How can I measure/convert 3g to ml?

thanks for that.

I've tried that one and a few others, but it won't do grams to mililitres, as ones weight the others liquid.

I have kitchen scales but they aren't digital and anything less than 100g-ish won't even register.

I've no idea how I'm going to work this out Just don't want things catching fire because of too much FO

right so far I've found:

1 litre (1000cc) = 1kg

so

1000g = 1000ml

100g = 100ml

3% of 100g = 3ml

so literally 100g is 3ml of oil.

That seems far to simple, surely?

boy, have I got a headache

Yes doing conversions can give you a big headache. It did me. Sometimes you just have to start from scratch and go about it in a different way. You can not find a conversion chart that will convert weight to volume. That is like trying to figure out how to make a cherry pie out of apples. So how many apples do i need to use to make 8 ounces of cherries...its the same question.
