Palm Kernel Question

[lavender.dreams.candles]

ok, I got this recipe and I ordered all the supplies I needed to do it ..... I've never worked with palm kernel oil.... So, if I got palm kernel flakes and measured them out as the flake wouldn't the measurement be reduces once the flakes turn liquid form??

I know with making candles the wax reduces when it turns liquid so that is why I'm asking.

I would think that if you have an ounce of PKO flakes, you will have an ounce of liquid PKO when melted. I could be wrong, but seems to me that the only state that changes is the solid to liquid.

I use PKO all the time and don't need to make any adjustments.

As long as your measuring WEIGHT, and not VOLUME. your measurements should be the same solid or melted.
