Gold/silver pigment for carved candles


Recommended Posts

Did any of you tried making gold and silver carved candles? 

 

Everybody here wants me to make them in gold, but I never saw that anybody is making them.

 

I tried to find a pigment but no luck, some suppliers told me that the manufacture have stopped producing gold and silver. I suppose they stopped as the product wasn't good?

 

Please, if you know where to buy gold/silver, or you have been working with those colors a comment would be appreciated.

I have both gold and silver pigments that I got from BCN - they are shiny when dipping, but then dull to a brown and grey after drying. But I would take my heat gun to it, and that would bring the shine back, then I'd dip it into my gloss to seal it. 

 

Check BCN to see if they still have it. They may not, as this was about 8 years ago that I got it from them.
