Clear Black Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Browsing through some supplier sites and came upon this under the liquid dyes section. I am new to liquid dyes and I am always VERY CAUTIOUS about adding anything more than 5 drops of dye per lb to any of my waxes based solely on fear of the dye interfering with burn performance. Can these numbers be correct??? 200 FRICKEN DROPS OF DYE PER POUND?????? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 That is some weak dye. Skip it and move to a seller that has concentrated dyes where a couple of drops will do that color depth and more. At an average of 500-600 drops per oz that’s 1/3 of an Oz per lb. geesh. Someone is making a nice profit on diluted dye. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh for sure, I get all my dyes from Flaming and C&S as it stands, but was browsing clamshell molds and stumbled into this vendors dye page when I found this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why I wouldn't waste my time standing there counting out 200 drops, that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
