hawaiiansun Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 ok what is the difference between 8 oz and 8 fl oz? I mean quantity wise. FO's are oz, preservatives are fl oz. now if the recipe calls for 4 grams and I convert it to oz is that fl oz? lol I'm so confused. how would i convert oz to tsp? lol maybe I should stick to candles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudsnwicks Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Does your scale measure in grams in addition to ounces? For such a small amount as 4 grams it would be easier just to measure it in grams, unless your scale does ounces to 2 decimal places. If you convert your grams to ounces you will have weight ounces, not fluid ounces. I usually measure it by weight the first time, noting how many tsp it took, then in future you can just use tsp.

Carrie Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 LOL Val,FO's are fluid but use them by wieght so they are measured in ounces. Fluid ounces are measured by volume. You would measure 8 fluid ounces in a measuring cup. Just remember. Fluid ounces are volume.Ounces are weight. Try this. Weigh 8oz of milk then 8oz of water. They are different. We almost always only use weight in candles and B&B. Sometimes you'll see, for example, 1 teaspoon of oatmeal, or 1 teaspoon of FO but mostly it will be in ounces or grams (weight).They should have come up with different words for each.

Gypsyjen Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 FO's are always measured in ounces by weight, not fluid ounces, because some oils are heavier than others.Oops Carrie, you must have posted while I was typing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
