DaisyFairy Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Just out of curiosity.. I was wondering, for those of you who make votives pillars and containers. what is the general percentage fragrance load you use? I am having a quandrum. haha.. between quality and cost of product. I am not sure how to use a high percentage and keep the price reasonable, while taking into account the costs of shipping the supplies. the shipping is what is really hurting the cost. thanks, daisyfairy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatinDucky Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Barring FO price and shipping, the wax itself will determine the range of % load you can use. The average is usually 6 %, though some waxes can hold more and some you can force more into with additives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinInOR Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 I range anywhere from 3-6%, depending on fragrance. I never go over 1 oz per pound anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaisyFairy Posted October 26, 2005 Author Share Posted October 26, 2005 thank you so much for your help.. I know I have heard people say they add up to 9% and I just can't do that and keep the price competitive. I am making some that I go up to 7% on.. and that is pushing it. thanks again. daisyfairy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
