I will keep searching and experimenting, although might not be a bad idea to get a book with recipes either. Evelyn, I’m not ignoring you but have not found too many people giving detailed recipes.

It sounds like you get better at it through trial and error to a certain extent so that's encouraging. I do think I have been nervous about using too much because of all of all the warnings on the labels not to go over a certain amount per pound. Thanks again. That is most helpful Bill.

A triple scented candle uses 1.9 ounces to 2.0 ounces per pound of soy. There is a very fine line in how much scent a candle will hold, and it all depends on the blend of wax you are using. (If you use to much aroma per pound your candle will weep, seperate and drown the flame, which causes a dirty burn fire hazzards ect ect not to mention is a waste of aroma oil) Each wax blend will give you instructions on how much to use. I hope this helps aswell Enjoy Http://www.cozyilluminations.com np any time ;-)
