candlesandkeepsakes Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I bought some essential oil of citronella to make some bug repellant candles. I have never used eo's in candles before...anybody know how much I would put to a pound of container wax...are we talking drops..I am not sure. The eo was pretty pricey.I was thinking of adding some lemongrass and eucalyptus to it as well myabe?Thanks for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
