Bottlecrafters Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I am mathematically challenged at times :smiley2:I am testing a few different size containers. Here is what I am using for a Formula, is this the right way?16 oz. @ 6% FO16 x .06 = .96 oz. FO.94 x 16= 15.04 oz. Wax20 oz. @ 6% FO20 x .06 = 1.2 oz. FO.94 x 20= 18.8 oz. Wax24 oz. @ 6% FO24 x .06 = 1.44 oz. FO.94 x 24= 22.56 oz. waxIs this right? I am trying this, so that I can easily change %FO, and container sizes to get the right mix.

sisters3 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Hi there, good morning. Hope this helps, here is the "math" section of my pour sheets:(_____) containers x (______) oz per container = __________ ÷ 20 = _________ lb Wax OR (______) oz Fragrance Load: (______) oz wax x 0.08 (8%) = (______) oz of scent oilI think its pretty much like what you are doing, this just works better for me.

They are good numbers and to try to get them 100% accurate would be pointless so yes they are right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
