SatinDucky Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 The formula for figuring fragrance load? Like, 3% load in 1 lb wax = ?? ozI got spoiled with the Tip and FAQ's sections, and never wrote it down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tara Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 I always just multiply by however many oz of wax I am using3% FO for 1 lb (16oz) of wax is .48 oz or half an ounce.(16 x .03 = .48)Is that what you are looking for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatinDucky Posted July 17, 2005 Author Share Posted July 17, 2005 Yup, that'll work. I guess what I was thinking of was a particular formula for ending up with the right amount. In the case of 1/2 oz the difference isn't much though. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharyl55 Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Just remember that's 1/2 oz by wt. for a 3% load and 1 oz for a 6% load.Thank goodness I printed out the wick suggestions thread. Sorry I didn't print out the tips for newbies and FAQ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LauraInNY Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 AngelaVA has a spreadsheet that she uses to figure that. She had been emailing it to everyone before, you might want to pm her and see if she'll send it to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonnaGA Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I posted this on another board.-----------------------------------------------------------Ever wonder what you are gonna do with the last little bit of FO in the bottle? How much wax will I need? Here is a useful formula to determine the amount of wax you need for your available FO. [(amount of fragrance by weight) divided by (fo percentage load you use)] Example: you have .7 ounces of FO and you usually add 9% FO ppwax. (.7/.09)=7.78 ounces of wax. HTH.
