Candle Makin Momma Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 to palm wax? I am trying for a fushia color and got a light hot pink using 1.5 fushia dye chips. Can I try going up to 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzanneg Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 how much wax are you using? I dye the heck out of mine Some FO's I want that darker color (not always turns out that way:grin2: ) but I haven't had any problems with the burn or scent!but I use the liquid dye! I quit using the chips! they took forever to melt in the wax plus I get a better color with the liquid color! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzanneg Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 I have used 3 chips in a pound of palm waxes just to achieve a certain color but it took forever for them to melt with the wax! I turned to my liquid color set and don't use as half as much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Makin Momma Posted August 4, 2007 Author Share Posted August 4, 2007 I have been throwing them in from the start and letting it all melt together.Glad to see I can add some more dye. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 You might try adding just a touch of burgundy or a darker version of what you're trying to achieve (sometimes black works) it helps darken without killing the wicks with too much dye.
