ScentsandMore Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I have never mixed FO's before and wanted to find out if I should mix them in a jar and let set for a couple days before putting into wax or is it okay to just put the 2 FO's straight into my wax without letting them set in a jar first? I use 435 wax if that makes a difference. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I don't use your wax, but I've always just put the FO's directly into my melted wax with no problems!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenda (OH) Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Ditto what ChrisR does . . I just measure out the FO ratio amounts needed and put directly into the wax. For me, doing it this way keeps my mixing oils available since I sell them in my line as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love2Scent Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I always tests it out right in my fax. Sometimes FO's smell different to me OOB then they do in wax.HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debscent Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Why do you think you need to blend them and let them sit?When you get your ratio figured out whether it is 1:1 or 1:3, etc., pour directly into the wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScentsandMore Posted September 21, 2008 Author Share Posted September 21, 2008 I had someone from another board tell me I should put the 2 FO's in a jar for a couple of days and shake ever so often. I wanted to see what some of you on this board thought. I couldn't figure out why it would mater one way or another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizbizzyb Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 It doesn't matter. Just measure and pour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrubzz Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I could see mixing together and letting them set for a couple days IF you had not tried this mix before and had no idea of what the mix might smell like and were just trying to get an idea for the mixture - but for the actual official joining of the scent and wax I agree with everyone else - just chunk em' in there and let her bumpFor testing various scent mixtures I read a tip here a long time ago - Dip a swab in each scent and drop them together into a ziplock baggie - let them set for a while and mingle and get to know one another and when you open the baggie there you have itIf you were wanting say 2 parts Finkleberry and 1 part Exotic Ostrich Flower use 2 swabs for the Finkle and 1 swab for the Ostrich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circle Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Just chuck it straight in the wax. I do the same with my EO's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Yup! Just add to your wax and stir! Just try not to stick your nose directly into your stirring pot. You will save nosehairs and brain cells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
