Using aniline dyes for coloring paraffin


Recommended Posts

As there is local shortage for simple candle supplies alone, not to mention dyes, I have a question for chemically savvy person. Is it OK to dissolve aniline based dyes for textile into mineral oil and use this mixture to color paraffin wax?

I'm not sure what analine is, but if it is pigment based, it could clog the wick. However, you could probably get a small sampling and try I guess. 

 

Maybe there is an online supplier in Europe that will ship to Lithuania? I don't know. 

Sorry I couldn't be more help...
