What is the ratio for adding a scent to the wax...how much scent goes into a pound of wax?

Please keep in mind, I'm new to candle making. However I have found it can vary from 1 oz per pound to 4 oz per pound. The scents I use are from candle science. I make 2-4 candles per pound. I try them out and make notes for future reference.

For my emergency candles i chose the medium wicks. I use half pint wide mouth jars which are 8 ounces. I use unscented soy wax which should burn 40 to50 hours. For a pint jar i think either would be ok, but I would probably use a medium. A large wick could burn too fast and just use your candle up quicker.

1tbls concentrate to 1/2 cup witch hazel or distilled water for spray bottle. Use a few drops in water or try baby bath/ water mixture. Your smell preference really

I bought this unit this winter and it came with six 1 lb packages of the wax. Hope this helps

Just put it in with the water and the amount depends upon how strong you want the odor. Some oils don't take much, 3 or 4 drops and others take more.

I sent an e-mail to CandleScience support, and they informed me that it is the GB464 wax. You can find more information about it on their website, including recommended pour temps and FO load.

If I recall correctly, there were instructions in the box that advised the water to oil ratio. I mentally marked the natural internal markings of the diffuser. Then it just takes one drop of oil floating on the surface. Be sure the open side of the diffuser is facing the area you want the scent to permeate.

I made a 1 to 1 ratio mix by WEIGHT. meaning 6 oz or 1 lb of sugar (whatever amount you need) to 6 oz or 1 lb of water. Mix until it is the consistency of a peanut butter. Squish it onto wax paper and cover it with wax paper and squish it to a flat shape so you can put it inside the hive.

I had no problem blending this in to liquid bees wax, shea butter and coconut oil...just put a little in at a time and stirred. Not sure why it isn't working for you.

We no longer make the 4 lb cans of Boston Polish Wax. We only make 1 Lb cans. As of 2013 the 4 lb cans required special handling to ship and freight became unreasonable. You can order the 1 lb cans from Amazon.com

Don't ever put 5 drops as the directions say unless you want a really strong smell in a short amount of time! It very quickly gave the room a strong scent the first time we tried it! :) From now on, it's 2-3 drops for us! :)

Hello MotherofAnAngel, I use these wicks in my soy candles in 6oz-8oz mason jars and they are perfect ... I get a nice even burn and it's the best one I have found so far. I use Eco-Soya CB Xcel - soy wax. Hope this helps!

The Lemongrass Oil is one of the stronger scents! A little goes a LONG way. I made lotion with it using Shea Butter a while back. I used about 1/4 cup of Shea and whipped it using my mixer then added just a couple drops of oil and whipped again. I smelled it and added another couple drops. My best advice is to make your lotion this way, whip the Shea then add a drop or 2 of oil, smell it and add more a drop or 2 at a time as needed for your personal tastes. ENJOY!

We suggest starting with 1oz fragrance oil to 1lb of our All Natural Soy Wax. You can adjust the amount of fragrance oil to achieve the strength you want. Enjoy!

The original one that comes with it is 14 oz. I would imagine you can use this size or smaller... As long as it fits in the wax pot

The wax that came with mine is scented. The scent is pleasing and is not a heavy scent.

There are many variables that determine the amount to be used, this is not limited to but includes: hair length, hair volume, hair thickness, hair style*.I have short hair and presumably thin hair. I pull a small finger-tip worth from the jar when I do, wet my hands and spread the wax all over my hands, then sort of mash it into my hair. If you are applying the wax DIRECTLY to your hair, that may be the problem: I like to suffuse it with water before I spread it out along my hair.
