hornermomof3 Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Newbie here, How do you lighten up a candle and you have only used one drop of color? Im testing using 11oz of wax(cargill c-4) but my blue candle needs to be lightened up to match the color Im going for. Is there a white to lighten it up? Thanks!

debscent Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Dip a toothpick in dye and build color gradually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlebean Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 If you've already added the color and want it lighter, you can re-melt it and add more wax, then just adjust your FO accordingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you only add a little wax at a time tho so you don't end up making it too light and then have to add more color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I've done that a time or two - drove me bonkers trying to even it back out again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoapDiva24 Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Just add a lottle wax at a time but make sure you take really detailed notes next time so you can re-produce the same product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
