NightLight Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Jeana posted those fun color candles, and now I have colored candle lust! I have a couple liquid colors from Wellington Fragrance that work well. Some of you have said there are stinky and not so stinky, and from some past this and that bottle some of the liquids are not all that dissolved well. Thoughts? 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebleo Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I have only used liquid dyes from Lonestar. They work great for me. No bad smell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleMissSunshine Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I love all the liquid dyes from candle science. I have been slowly collecting them a few at a time, and I have most of them now. A couple of them are a little stinky, but nothing that sticks around in final product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightmyfire Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I just tried the Flaming Candle purple dye---a bit stinky but no residual odor after the candle is poured. I don't usually color my candles but I had a special request from my biggest customer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleMissSunshine Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I find that if I make soy candles I prefer to leave them uncolored. They frost less and I like the look of how creamy they are. Anything with paraffin, usually 6006 for me and I use color. I think it looks creepy without color. 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptnKush Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Whatever you do, do not buy the liquid dye from AZTEC. They don't give you the squeeze dropper they have a hard plastic dropper/lid that you twist to open. No matter how careful I have been I wind up having dye all over the place.

NightLight Posted April 8, 2019 Author Share Posted April 8, 2019 Yes I like paraffin with color, and soy without because of frosting. Dropper systems only for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjensen2 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Other than the rubber dropper being eaten away from the dye and so forth, I never had any trouble with Bittercreek dyes other than user error. You know when you dump it and it makes a mess. I never had any complaints or noticed a smell in my final product. I only used a small amount per lb say 4 drops usually max. I accepted the lighter colors and never tried for the bolder colder with liquid dye in soy. For red I always used cinnamon red dye chips or the red powder from Bittercreek.
