Question: How much fragrance can I use in gel wax?

Answer: Penreco's VersaGel™ is available in three versions called "Grades":

• CLP grade (Low Density) (Buy Direct) will hold up to about 3% fragrance oil. (.5 oz. per pound)
• CMP grade (Medium Density) (Buy Direct) will hold up to about 5% fragrance oil (.8 oz. per pound)
• With CHP grade (High Density) (Buy Direct), the specs say up to 5% (.8 oz. per pound), but I've used 6% (1 oz. per pound) with good results.

As with all candles, TEST TEST TEST.
