FO Formula


Recommended Posts

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% FO

16 x .06 = .96 oz. FO

.94 x 16= 15.04 oz. Wax

20 oz. @ 6% FO

20 x .06 = 1.2 oz. FO

.94 x 20= 18.8 oz. Wax

24 oz. @ 6% FO

24 x .06 = 1.44 oz. FO

.94 x 24= 22.56 oz. wax

Is this right? I am trying this, so that I can easily change %FO, and container sizes to get the right mix.

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 oil

I think its pretty much like what you are doing, this just works better for me.

These figures to be 100% precise is .038% off but for all intents and purposes is more accurate than most people calculate. They are good numbers and to try to get them 100% accurate would be pointless so yes they are right.
