How To Use Fragrance Concentrates:

Many candle makers use the Fragrance Concentrates (FCs) straight. Some others cut FC with DOA (available inexpensively from us here) for 4 purposes:

(1) To make it easier to mix FC and wax. Lower chance of FC and wax separating.
(2) If you use molds, to make it easier to pull a cured candle out of its mold.
(3) To give candles a glossy look.
(4) To lower the cost of candle fragrance.

Instructions:

Simple. Mix equal volumes of FC and DOA to make your candle fragrance oil. Add fragrance oil to molten wax at its cloud point (temperature at which the wax starts to become cloudy as it cools) and stir well. (You have to act fast, especially for Apple type FCs..)

Use 3% to 7% by weight of your fragrance oil with your wax to make fragrance candles, based on your taste of each fragrance.

After getting familiar with your application, you may want to reduce the percentage of DOA based on the 3 criteria above. There is a lot of trial and error because different FCs may require different amount of DOA.

Some people prefer brand name Vybar to generic DOA. But Vybar is more expensive.
