beaubien81 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 So I just pours 32 oz of soy with EO. I used 3oz of EO -- I just read it should be .5oz EO per lb of wax. Will this pose a fire risk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 .5 oz/lb of wax depends on the EO you use, just like any FO. It shouldn't create any fire risk, but it may drown out your wick, you'll just have to see when you burn it. Some EO's will work in soy and some won't. Lavender, eucalyptus, rosemary, basil & peppermint are all pretty strong so you may be able to use less. Patchouli is a bitch to wick if you ever get it wicked and I use a full 1 oz/lb. Most citrus EO's either smell like fuel or fade very fast, but sometimes work mixed with others. I use a parasoy blend and use a lot of EO's to kick up my FO's and create some great blends. You'll just have to experiment and see what works in your wax. Have fun!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JI Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 1.5 oz eo per 16 oz wax seems a little high. Not to mention expensive. Have you tried scent testing with 1 oz eo/16 oz wax? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
