Well I guess the only thing to do is check with the HobbyLobby. I have twenty pounds of wax that I wanted to make Christmas Candle out of but it is late and I need some sleep. Thanks to all for helping. If you think of something new please let me know.

The dye bottles are 3-1/4 oz and I have been putting in about a half dozen drops. There is only about 9 oz of wax in pot.

Could I not be adding enough dye? It is suppose to be concentrated and they say to use sparingly. Could the temp be to high and therefore cause problems. At the high setting the wax seems to have some boiling going on. The wax has a melting point of 133-135 degrees.

I bought a candle making heating pot from hobby lobby and it is set at highest heat. Don't have thermometer to test and no heat temp indicator. The dyes are not disolving! The dyes are Liguid from Something Fabulous Luquid Dyes. I am using paraffin wax and I had the temp control set at max whidh is suppose to be 240 degrees. Earlier answers were that my wax was not hot enough. I am completely confused??!! Hobby Lobby lists these dyes for candle making so I don't know what is wrong. When I add the dye it just sits at the bottom of the pot in little particles but never disolves.

Is there a difference with soap and candle wax dyes? Is this why the dyes I am using are not disolving? They were sold to me as usable for candle wax dyes.

I am rather new to candle making and this is my first time using dyes. Wax has melted but dye does not disolve. What am I doing incorrectly?
