  1. HI there,,,Go and get yourself a small can of grounded french roast folgers coffee,,NOT the beans and you can not sniff your coffee either,,I tried that,,,:rolleyes2 I keep a can handy,,works very well,,,or I have heard of "smelling the inside of your elbow":shocked2: I dont know about anyone else but I would not want to do this in front of customers,,although I do smell devine with the Raspberry Vanilla Shea Butter my secret buddy sent me;) Sorry sillyness started in,,,,HTH:highfive:
  2. HI Can not help with the vybar But as for FO, Actually there is a a way to measure,,go to www.candlecauldron.com and they have it all broke down,, 1Oz = 2 Tablespoons per pound of wax,,,,I have been using this method for some time now,,,If you have a heavy scented FO such as Hot Cocoa you would only use 1/2 Oz = 1 Tablespoon of FO. This is a topic that has been ongoing forever it seems and we all have our little different ways that work for us. Now I tested this myself when I looked @ Candle Cauldron because I wanted to be sure,,,And if I think a FO may be to heavy I weigh it,,,HTH MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
