I've combined them and they're quite nice. subdued hues
To reduce the size of the pieces, I use a cheese grader. It appears to be melting more quickly.
Both beeswax and soy wax have been dyed with this dye. br>It's my favorite because it's easy to blend and has a rich flavor. br>You'll find that if you flake the dye in first, then add a cup of your wax base and stir constantly over medium heat, it will eventually smooth out. Wait a while if you still see tiny specks. Maintain a constant temperature of 180°F while stirring the wax. br>Give it another 2 minutes to cool to 100°F before pouring.

This candle dye is not something I would recommend. It's more akin to acrylic paint in concentrated form. All of my candles are going to be ruined. I probably should have done some testing and only made one candle at first, but. I decided to make a batch because I was behind on some orders. I've been making candles for over 7 years, and this has caused me problems from the beginning to the end, with test candles not burning properly being one of them. The color chunks weren't melting as they should have been. I needed to keep adding to see a vibrant yellow, which I thought was concentrated. I used roughly 6 chunks to make 36 4oz candles. Unfortunately, after reading a few positive reviews and ignoring the negative ones, I purchased two packs. Now that I've had firsthand experience with negative feedback, I've found it to be more useful. Please investigate this matter as soon as possible.
Welp. I own a candle company and have been making palm wax candles for quite some time; I really like the way this dye looks because it gives the wax a nice opaque color. It's unlike any other dye I've used before, and I was really looking forward to trying it. So I made a bunch of lovely candles with my new dye, only to receive a call saying that someone's candle had gone out after a few minutes. After a few tests, I discovered that the wick clogs and stops burning after about 15 minutes. I'm also using wood wicks, which are supposed to be less prone to clogging than traditional wicks, so don't worry about that. I followed the dye loading instructions to the letter (gram scale and all), so I didn't go overboard. br>br>Overall, this is a very disappointing film that is not worth your money. It's best to stay away from. I got the gray color, so maybe the others don't have this issue, but I'm not going to waste my time trying to figure it out at this point.
It's a waste of both time and money! Soy wax was measured out according to the hazy instructions that came with it. I had to filter out mini globs of dye before pouring my candles because the dye hadn't completely melted. I tried one of the cured candles and it only lasted a few minutes before the wick became clogged and the candle lost its light. Over the last four years, I've used a lot of liquid dyes and dye blocks for my candles and have never had this problem. Going forward, I'll stick with my dependable vendor (CandleScience).
At 185 degrees, I completely melted 1 pound of wax. After that, I added. To the melted wax, add 8 grams of lime green wax dye. The wax chips melted when they came into contact with the wax. I'm not sure what temperatures other people think their wax is melted at, or if they're getting the same product as I am. because I didn't have any issues with my wax dye chips The wax dye chips had been broken up into several small pieces by me. They vanished in an instant! They also tinted my candle to the exact shade I requested! So, I'm not sure what other people are doing to have a bad experience with these dye chips, but they're a HUGE WIN for me!.
There are never any issues! I use these color blocks in soy candles and haven't had any of the problems that have been mentioned in the negative reviews. Colors melted completely and in a short amount of time. I make sure to stir thoroughly before adding the color, which I do at 175°F. The colors are vibrant and pleasing to the eye. I use half an ounce of color per pound of soy wax, which makes it simple to achieve any shade you want. This is the weight-to-body-mass-ratio that I never exceed. To lighten or darken the image, I use white and black. I've never had a problem with these colors burning my eyes. Wicks never clog, and my customers have nothing but praise for them.
So we'll give it a four-star rating because I'm not sure if it's them or me who's messing it up. It could be me because I'm new to candle making. They did make pretty colors, but melting them was a pain, and even when I got most of it to melt, I'd still end up with little bits at the bottom of my jars and occasionally floating on top. I can't seem to get everything to blend together. Now, I'll admit that I'm terrible at measuring, testing, and waiting, so I don't always know how much I'm using in what. I just go by what appears to be the right color and go from there. I also have soy wax, which I would have known about if I had read the reviews more carefully because not everyone was pleased with them in soy wax. The colors are vibrant, and the blocks are large enough to be useful. It arrived in its small box on time. It just isn't completely melted. I have, however, given up and purchased a thermometer, so we'll see if I can resolve that minor problem. If I do, I'll come back and update, and if I discover it's the blocks rather than me, I'll also update. As a result, we'll have to wait and see what happens. Nonetheless, it's still attractive.
Let us provide some details. I'm using Candlewic tealight cups, which are as follows: Aluminum, 1/2-inch tall by 3/4-inch diameter. Ecosoya CB Advanced Soy Wax is a product of Candlescience. Eco 1 1 inch Pretabbed Tealight Wicks from Candlescience. Last but not least, the dye that I bought from Candle Shop. br>br>As a result, I'm not sure why the wax refuses to dye. When I use the blue dye, the wax appears to be separating from the dye. When I light the candle, the pool on top of it burns out the wick. It works sometimes, but not always, unless I pour some of the wax out while the tealight is lit. Most of the time, it forms a pool, and the wick then fades into the pool and burns out. So far, the dyes Black, Blue, and Orange have all had the same issue. I hope that was clear. Unless, as someone else has already stated, this dye does not mix well with soy.
These dyes are amazing, and I can't recommend them highly enough. I use them to make decorative pillar candles that I sell, and they are the best quality dyes I've ever used. Unless I'm in a hurry, I won't use any other brand. br>I also like that you have complete control over the amount of wax you use and how bright or light it comes out. I can only find liquid dyes locally, and aside from a few colors I've discovered that I can't find anywhere else, the mess and time spent using them isn't worth it. br>As long as I'm making candles, I'll be a loyal customer of Candle Shop bricks dyes!.
