Gsmakinsoap Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Thanks for starting this thread Old Glory. By the way, does Aztec's Mistletoe Kisses also work well in 464? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OldGlory Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Yes it's great in 464 and CP soap too. I had a client years ago who built their business around it. I had it duped at Aztec for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C Dizzle Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 The two strongest throws I have gotten are from Candle Science and are Mistletoe and Red Hot Cinnamon. I forgot that one's name but it smells like red hots. Reddit for the cinnamon and dye block for the mistletoe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trappeur Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I have never tried the red hot cinnamon....I have to order some oils from them and will try it.....Sounds great! Trappeur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Dizzle Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Would anyone else mind sharing what types of dyes in general they use? If I understand chandlery properly, using a different type of dye can cause the scent to not throw. I'm not asking you to list the type of dye for each candle! But in general if you use liquid, dye blocks, reddig glows, etc, that would be very useful information for me! I am experimenting with all 3 and so far I like all but liquid. I have read enough of Trappeur's post to believe that she uses no dye at all but I have no clue on the rest of you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Dizzle Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I have never tried the red hot cinnamon....I have to order some oils from them and will try it.....Sounds great! Trappeur Even the people who say "I hate cinnamon" and "I hate red hots" seem to love this scent. I haven't found one who did not like it. My first batch of candles was this with a red dye block and the color was awful but the scent filled up my whole house, longer than any scent I've tried so far. Burning it is insane too and it only took a day to cure the first time, so it really confused me for a bit regarding cure time. I have found some beautiful colors for it with reddig glow cinnamon dye chips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I started with the reddig-glo and moved quickly to liquid. It's more economical for me and works just great in my waxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trappeur Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 When I used to dye my candles I did use liquid. It used to work pretty good for me as I could control the amount pretty easily and it was consistant. Trappeur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OldGlory Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I prefer to use liquids, and generally do use them, but I am not opposed to using a dye block or the diamonds. However, I have found that 1) it is difficult to replicate a color if not using liquids, and 2) sometimes little bits of the solid dyes remain in the bottom of the pouring pitcher. And man, that really ticks me off, LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Dizzle Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Have you ever tried liquid AND a dye block at the same time? I did 10 drops of liquid per pound and 2 brown dye blocks per pound and got a very pretty woody dark brown for a fireside candle, but the hot throw is nonexistent. It could be wicking of course, but it made me wonder if you aren't supposed to mix the types of dyes. I got a sample pack from Lonestar Candle Supplies and it says their dye blocks are usable with each other, but makes no mention if adding other types works and I could definitely see it if its a bad idea. That's good to know about consistency. I have noticed, especially with the dye blocks, that blocks are inconsistent on size. I think I may try exclusively use liquid for consistency and it would be nice to just settle with one type of dying process, and it seems to have the most pros and the only con I know, being hard as hades to get off your hands/floor/tables/etc, is easy to mitigate with gloves/vinyl tablecloth/etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Trappeur you must try CS Red Hot Cinnamon. Its my go to cinnamon for candles. Throws well in soy, paraffin, parasoy, and palm. If you like cinnamon you should also try their Cinnamon Buns. Both throw like crazy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Dizzle Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Have any of you gotten Fireside from Candle Science to work? Mine had 0 hot throw, but I mixed a full brown dye block with 10 drops of black dye PP and fear I just clogged the wick. Also seems like the absolute best scent you could have a wood wick for, but of course, that's a long ways out for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OldGlory Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 When you get liquid dye on your hands, use something oily to remove it. I either use a bit of soy wax or some canola or olive oil - whatever is handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes they just take time. Or maybe a wick change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Dizzle Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I did I think going forward I am going to start making scents in the Status 12 Oz, but make 3 testers. Only change is wick size, CD 12, 14, 16, burn them all and see which is best. If they all fail, I'll move on to the next scent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OldGlory Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 The testing is mind numbing but required! Keep good notes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
