Safe Method for Making Perfume Spray with 12H Fix™ and LipidSoft™ Lite

It sounds like you had a very dangerous experience when trying to make your perfume spray. Heating alcohol directly is extremely hazardous because alcohol is highly flammable and its vapors can easily ignite, leading to a fire or explosion. The instructions you followed likely meant to heat only the 12H Fix™ and LipidSoft™ Lite mixture to dissolve the 12H Fix™ before adding it to the alcohol.

Here is the correct and safe method for mixing 12H Fix™ and LipidSoft™ Lite into an alcohol-based perfume:

1. Prepare the 12H Fix™/LipidSoft™ Lite Mixture: Combine the required amount of 12H Fix™ with LipidSoft™ Lite in a separate container. According to the instructions for 12H Fix™, you should use at least twice the amount of LipidSoft™ Lite compared to 12H Fix™ (e.g., if using 5% 12H Fix™, use at least 10% LipidSoft™ Lite). LipidSoft™ Lite acts as a solvent to help dissolve the 12H Fix™.
2. Gently Heat the Mixture (NO ALCOHOL): Heat only the mixture of 12H Fix™ and LipidSoft™ Lite to a temperature of 60-70°C. Stir gently until the 12H Fix™ powder is completely dissolved and the mixture is clear. DO NOT heat the alcohol at any point. Use a water bath or a hot plate with precise temperature control and work in a well-ventilated area away from any flames or sparks.
3. Allow to Cool Slightly: Once dissolved, remove the 12H Fix™/LipidSoft™ Lite mixture from the heat and let it cool down slightly, but ensure it remains liquid and doesn't solidify.
4. Prepare the Alcohol/Fragrance Mixture: In your main container, mix your fragrance oil with the alcohol base.
5. Combine Mixtures: Carefully and slowly add the warm, dissolved 12H Fix™/LipidSoft™ Lite mixture to the alcohol/fragrance mixture. Stir gently until everything is uniformly combined.

This method ensures that the 12H Fix™ is properly dissolved using LipidSoft™ Lite and heat, without exposing the flammable alcohol to dangerous temperatures. Always work in a well-ventilated area and keep alcohol away from heat sources and open flames.

Typical usage rates for Perfume Spray might be around 5% fragrance, 5% 12H Fix™, 10% LipidSoft™ Lite, and the rest alcohol (around 80%). Adjust percentages based on your desired strength and total formula percentage.

Remember, safety is paramount when working with flammable materials like alcohol.
