Fern Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 I use J223, which is very similar to J-50, and do exactly the same as Breanna and it works great every time. You'll be just fine adding your FO at that temp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraInNY Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 I use J50. Heat to 200, add FO, stir for 2 mins, cool to 160 and pour. I originally heated to 175, but had a hard time with heavier FO's mixing so had to heat to a higher temp. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Posted October 15, 2005 Author Share Posted October 15, 2005 Laura,you add fo at 200 degrees, and it don't burn your fo off?How much fo do your use per lb? Anna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth-VT Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Unless you continue to heat at 200° after adding your FO, you're fine. Add your FO, turn off the heat and let it cool, no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LauraInNY Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Nope, no burn off here. It's only at 200 for a minute. Binding is practically immediate. I only add between 1oz and 1-1/2oz of FO depending on the scent. Most only need 1oz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
