Candybee Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 I used white dye for some clean cotton scented container candles. They are so perfectly white they look just like containers of milk. They are very pretty but I did not have milk color in mind when pouring them.I couldn't remember what I had read about using white dye. The color list I had had no color for clean cotton or a touch of blue.What is best for clean cotton?I honestly had to pour myself a glass of milk from looking at them. I happened to be snacking on a piece of cake at the time and looking at those milk colored candles was too much for me!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topofmurrayhill Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Pick any color you like. A little cobalt blue will give them hue like fabric softener packaging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted May 16, 2006 Author Share Posted May 16, 2006 I might try a touch of blue next time. But that milk white just cracks me up everytime I look at those candles. They smell real nice too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7Angela7 Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 I actually don't color that scent and leave it white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darwin Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 I add no color at all for this scent. Just a little vybar and steric gives it a nice, smooth white color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruceCarvesWax Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Be sure to test that white one and make sure it burns right. White dye/pigment can cause wicking problems big time. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
