Ann Marie......I hold you personally responsible for this one lol....you jinxed me by reminding me of all the stupid things I've done over the years.....and now....just yesterday.......yet another lol. Someone said not to squeeze the dye bottle, to use a pin if it didn't come out easily.....sure, that would have been the SMART thing to do, but would have taken time......so, nooooooooo, I decided to squeeze a little harder. I didn't THINK about the end popping off (THEY DO). I have the darkest red batch that is humanly possible......even crayola doesn't have this color!!! LOL Luckily, my candle shop is in the basement, and luckily I had on old clothes but still........dang it!!! Arrrghhhhhhhh
