Thanks again! I'm in Michigan. I will definitely try to experiment by adding other colors next time too.

OK Guys - I finally got done with half of them. The color is acceptable to my cousin and myself (I suppose) I will try the palm wax next time. Can anyone point me in the direction of a good supplier? I had to use quite a bit of dye, and I am now worried about frosting. They have been curing for a few hours now and there is very little frosting on the top. Hopefully it will stay that way. Thank you all for all of the wonderful advice - I will most definitely be back the next time I need help. Thanks again - Carly

Thank you, I will definitely try that. I will be back soon to let you know how it goes!

Thank you all for your replies. I do have some liquid dye and tried it a while ago, it didn't seem to work. I will try it again. I am making 4 cups of wax at a time, how many drops should I add?

Hi all! I am making about 40 soy containers for my cousin's shower, and I must have them done by Saturday - before that actually so they can cure. Anyhow, I am so frustrated about the coloring. I am using red dye chips and I cannot achieve a red color for the life of me! I am by no means an expert candle maker, I have been doing it as a hobby and for friends & family for about 3 years now. I bought wax from moonglow, the 'best' wax they have with the additive. It's called enchanted lites soywax I believe. Anyway, the color is more of a pinkish - mauve, definitely NOT red. Can anyone offer me any advice? It would be greatly appreciated, and thank you in advance. -Carly
