Scented Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I've been pouring (cheers), but what I just noticed is a green color in my cranberry. Really weird, I'm thinking, because it's either in the color block I used for the cranberry color, or it's coming from the FO, but the FO is yellowish. Anyone seen this green stuff in their colorant before? Thoughts on what it might be? And no, no green has been added of any kind to the color unless it was tucked into that color block. It isn't affecting the outcome of the color in the candle, but it's odd. IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 At what point do you see green color?In the melted wax, in the wax after it has cooled, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted July 31, 2006 Author Share Posted July 31, 2006 ha ha. I know the green came off the cranberry color block. I sure of it (not smoking grass lol) and it only affected the cranberry color, not the orange or the brown. It may look like I'm crazy, but it was there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 (leans in and whispers to Scented) And what do your Rice Crispies say to you???Ok.. Does your finished candle have a green tint to it? Maybe that's just one of the colors they use to make that color, and your color block didn't get blended as well as normal? You sure opened yourself up for this one girl!

topofmurrayhill Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Often when I've used color blocks I could see the dye break up into specks of the component colors as it dissolved. Figuring the cranberry block is similar to burgundy, it would be red with some green. Maybe that could explain what you saw? If not, I'd like a hit too please.

Scented Posted July 31, 2006 Author Share Posted July 31, 2006 Maybe it was, but this was the first time using this block that it wouldn't blend it and all the green sank to the bottom. It was just weird that it wouldn't blend in. Was a first.hahaha Bunny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
