Darbla Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I was making different sized batches yesterday and yep, you guessed it, I dumped two ounces of FO that was meant for a larger batch into a single pound of wax. Is it even safe to burn the double FOed wax? I don't sell so customers getting it is not an issue; it'll be just me using it. But I still would rather not have excessive sooting that I think this much FO would cause.Any way to salvage this? Like melt another pound of wax into the double FOed pound? What about chipping up the double FOed pound so it'll melt quicker into the new wax? Maybe use a food grater? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverSoyed Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I would just melt it down and add another pound of wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 As long as your FO doesn't separate from your wax, I think you'll be fine. Depends on how you do the measuring I suppose, but 2 oz as opposed to using 1 oz might only result in a wick challenge. Add more wax if that makes you feel more comfortable, but I would guess it mixed with your wax just fine. You'll know when it doesn't. There's a distinct oil sludge on the bottom.

Darbla Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 Thanks, guys. It mixed fine so I think I will at least burn one and see how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
