Guest guest Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 HI Evelyn, General rule .. about 1 fl oz scented oil per 1 lb of soy wax .. BUT different companies do have different wax blends, some of which can handle more scented oil than others ... Do you know what wax (form where) you are planning on using? *Smile* Chris (list mom) http://www.alittleolfactory.com Evelyn Millican [edandevmil] Monday, November 03, 2003 8:55 PM Chris/candle question Chris, I know that you make candles and I'm taking the plunge into soy candle making.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 Just to add a note, different FO manufacturers have suggested amounts of there FO's in various types of wax. To me this is just another testing area that needs to be done. Too much oil can cause the wick to bloom or the candles to soot.
