Q: Should I use the liquid concentrated dyes or the dye blocks? A: There are benefits to both types of dye, but your choice will ultimately depend on your personal preference. Because the liquid dyes come with a dropper, they are extremely easy to measure and blend very quickly with the wax. You simply count the number of drops you use per pound, make note of the amount, and this ensures you get a consistent color with every batch you make.
The dye blocks are also very easy to use. Depending on the size batch you are making, you may add one full block or a partial block to achieve the desired color. With each type, you are able to vary the shade by using more or less dye, or you can also blend different dyes to create unique or unusual colors. Q: How much dye should I use? A: The amount of dye that you use will depend on the color you are trying to achieve.
For lighter colors, use less dye; for darker colors; use more. You can test the color of the wax by dripping some out onto a paper plate or something that would not be damaged and letting it cool.
It is always a good idea to start out with just a little. You can always add a little more to darken it, but it is difficult to lighten the color once the dye is added. For the liquid dyes, you may start with 1 drop per pound for light colors, but not go over around 7 drops per pound for darker colors. The dye blocks can color anywhere from 5 - 25 pounds per block depending on the shade you are trying to achieve.
Instructions for the liquid dyes can be found on the backs of the bottles. For the dye blocks, you can purchase the dye block color chart for guidelines on different shades.
A: We do not necessarily carry a white candle dye however, we do have whitening powder. Whitening powder is used to counteract some of the yellowing you may get from certain fragrances that contain a lot of vanillin. We recommend using the whitening powder and the UV stabilizer for best results. Q: Can I use your candle dyes in body products?

Tips and Warnings. Things You'll Need. Related Articles. Article Summary. Part 1. Pick out an old candle to upgrade. White and other light shades will allow the dye to show up better, yielding the most vibrant results. Since you'll be melting them down, it will be easiest to work with plain container-less candles. If the candle you want to use is in a jar or tin, use a butter knife to scrape out the wax in chunks.
The candle you choose should not contain any other decorative elements such as flowers, seashells, or glitter. Avoid using scented candles. Melting these down can affect the perfumes that have been added to the wax, causing them to take on an unpleasant fragrance. Buy a few blocks of paraffin wax to make your own candles. Paraffin is one of the easiest varieties of wax to melt and recolor. Raw wax and other candle-making supplies can usually be found at arts and crafts stores. Set up a double boiler to heat the wax.
Then, situate a second heat-safe container, like a glass mixing bowl or measuring cup, inside the first so that it hovers just above the water bath. The pot will transfer heat to the smaller container without letting it get too intense. Never expose wax to direct heat. This could ruin its natural consistency or even cause a fire! Cut the candles or wax blocks into pieces. Use a sharp knife to break the wax up into 1-inch 2. This will increase its overall surface area, helping it melt faster.
These colourants are synthetic and only suitable for candle making. For soap, bath and body colourants a certified water-soluble colourant for personal care products must be used to ensure safety.
