Candlebuddy Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I make my votives in batches of 8 (I pour 8 at a time). Each votive mold holds 2oz. So I need 16oz to fill my 8 votive molds. For most scents, I will use 1oz of fo and 15oz of wax (which equals 16oz). I don't add anything to my wax, I buy it preblended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented North Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 For Stearin (Stearic Acid) add 1 to 3 tablespoon per pound of wax. For Vybar, it's 1/2 to 1 teaspoons per pound of wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
