denetteb Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I have run out of the pipettes (plastic droppers) I use to measure out my fo's for soap bar and small wax melt tests. Do any of you use a different method to measure out small precise amounts of FO for tests that does not require a pipette (by small I mean 7.6 grams)? If so, I would love to know! I feel that I may explode if I don't get some of my new oils into some wax! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Glass Droppers I rinse them using 91+ alcohol between uses expelling the alcohol/FO into a dedicated glass beaker. Occasionally, when the alcohol evaporates from the beaker I am left with a nice blend of fragrance/EO that I can use for perfumery or a special lotion just for me.I love not throwing away plastic pipettes.

megandgarr Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I buy the flip top caps for all my FO bottles so that I can easily pour small drops into my measuring cup without spilling it all down the sides of the FO bottle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now where did I last see that...?!?!I buy the flip top caps for all my FO bottles so that I can easily pour small drops into my measuring cup without spilling it all down the sides of the FO bottle.This sounds like a great thing...where do you buy yours?
