mrs_scurry Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Hi all,I didn't know where to put this but I have a question about recipes. I am going to make some incense and it says to use 1 part FO to 2 or 3 parts DPG. I have all the ingredients but what does part equal to?I have heard that term used for candles as well but was never really sure. Can someone please help me with this?Veronica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonrose64 Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Ok, I'm on pain meds so I hope I say this right lol ..If not someone will correct it (I hope)Ok say you want to use 1oz of FO then you would use 3oz of DPG..or if you want to use 1 cup of FO you would use 3 cups of DPGWhat ever type measurement you use of FO, you just use 3 x's more of that same measurement of the DPG.....Man I hope I said that right.So HTH....

Alohagirl Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 In other words, it's a "ratio" and the recipe is giving you a choice:For strong incense, you might use a ratio of 1:2 (1 ounce FO diluted with 2 ounces DPG.)If that's too strong smelling, you could use the other ratio, 1:3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinInOR Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Parts are nice. You can use any measurement as long as you're consistent.So it could also be1 tablespoon to 2 tablespoons.1 ml to 2 ml.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
