how much scent?

Postby ladymuppet » 17 Jun 2010, 14:26

Hi everyone
Can anyone help with how much scent to add I was told to add 50ml per 1kilo of wax but I can aonly fit 1 1b of wax in my pan at one time, I tried to work it out and am using 4 x 7.5ml measures at one time, it smells my house out and the candles smell but when lit they are not leaving a scent, is this normal? if not how much should i be using

thanks

Are you making container candles? Also, what type of wax are you using?
