doglvr Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I think I've looked at all the regular places, but has anyone seen brilliant, bright neon (pink, orange, yellow, blue, etc) almost psychedelic colored dyes anywhere for candles and tarts? The regular colors for sale that I've seen just aren't going to work and I don't know where else to look. Just hoped that maybe someone had come across them before.TIA!Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin146 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I would like to know the answer to this also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudMarineMom Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Have you looked at the Neon Dye Powder from the Candlemaker's Store? Would probably be a bit messy and not sure if it will give you the colors you are looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doglvr Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 I wrote them about it and they responded that it's for gel wax only Thanks for the reply though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) Man I wish Fresh/Tanya were here. She could answer this. I bought some dyes off her a long, long, long time ago and they are neon, but I don't exactly know who the company was/is and how to use. I'd sell them if I knew, but I don't. There's every color of the rainbow in these. I just don't know where they came from.You can get neon pink at Lonestar. At least I got some, but I know you need the other colors.

Ravens Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Check out the candlemaker store. I remember them selling neon colors in powder form. Hth:smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomara Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I have not tried these, but BitterCreek sells them in chip formhttp://cart.candlesupply.com/Flourescent-Chips-c-410.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 You have to be careful with the neon colors as they are pigments and do not dissolve in the wax, they are suspended, and they can and will clog your wicks if you use too much.

doglvr Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 I bit the bullet and ordered some from here:http://onestopcandle.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?page=OSC/CTGY/FCPChatting online, they told me it could create a problem with wicking but since I only want it for tarts I didn't need to worry about that. I will post a review for you after I give it a try!Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doglvr Posted January 11, 2014 Author Share Posted January 11, 2014 I got my neon colors from One Stop Candle and poured two one ounce cups last night. BEAUTIFUL!! I did orange and pink and they are definitely neon bright. It isn't a powder, but a block - or chunk to be more exact. I did have to use quite a lot to get this for a one ounce cup. Probably almost the same amount as an eight ounce pour, but perhaps less would have been ok. I kept adding because it didn't look dark enough. It mixed right in with nothing left in the bottom of the pan when I was done. So yes, these are great for neon colors. Since they have something in them that is black light reactive, I poured one with scent just to see if it would effect scent throw or anything, but I'll have to wait a couple of days to melt that one - I only make tarts. He did say wicking with a candle would be difficult if anyone is planning that. I doubt they would be body safe either, but for what I need it for it's perfect - just hope the scent isn't effected and I can let you know that in a couple of days.Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doglvr Posted January 11, 2014 Author Share Posted January 11, 2014 Well, bummer. I've been playing with these neon colors today and it's a total bust compared to last night and I'm not sure why unless it's the addition of more fragrance oil for a bigger pour than one ounce. The color is sticking to the fragrance oil and binding with that. There is an overall coloring, but much remains in the bottom of the pot after pouring along with fragrance oil that binded to it. Plus, when cooled, the color fades to a pastel and completely loses its neon look. I'm stumped. I'm sitting here looking at this brilliant orange and pink I poured last night into cups and what I did today is totally different. So for now, I wouldn't run out and buy it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
