Thank you! Well that’s what I said in the first post - they’re not safe to burn so I’m trying to find another way to make candles that look like this in a safe way. Any experience?

I really want to make marble candles work but am not having much luck so far. I’m using paraffin taper dinner candles and dipping them.
First, I tried with marbling ink but it never fully dried on the candles. However, after about 2 months they dried enough to be sealed with varnish, and they burn safely but it’s not ideal to have to wait that long for them to be ready.
I then tried marbling paint (Marabu Easy Marble) and they dried and look amazing but they don’t burn safely; the wicks get clogged up with the paint and produce a massive flame. Maybe there’s a substance I could dip the wicks in that make them inflammable so I can sell them as display-only candles?
Anyone had any success with marbling candles? If so, would love to know brands of marbling inks/paints.
Thanks so much ☺️

Thank you ☺️ I don’t have much spare time so dipping is a much quicker method, but I’ll definitely bear your suggestion in mind if I can’t find a solution!
