ubure Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 I have the same problem as many (or at least some) of you to get my candles black. Also I need quite a lot of my color blocks (one block for 15 lbs of wax? No no, not in my soy!!). So, please tell me: which are the really good dyes out there and where do I get them? Are Bittercreeks Dye Flakes okay?Thanks for helping!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeAndMyPuppyDog Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Remember, dye starts as a powder. So when you see a "solid" "cube" type dye, that is a powder that is blended with wax. So you're not getting "pure" dye. But you are getting an easy way to measure.Liquid dye (mostly) is the same story, it is a powder that is suspended in a "carrier" that is then blended.Powder dye, provided it is not cut with anything is the real-deal. Basic quality can be found @ pourette, and then the dye houses (google) can turn you on to the hard-core stuff. I can tell you that Pourette is just fine for 90% of the applications you can think of. Just remember that too much dye *can* clog a wick... so testing isn't always a bad idea with dark dark colors.Good Luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
