eugenia Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I should have gone to work today, LOL. I was making a pillar and on the last layer. I squeezed really hard on the purple dye as it would not come out. The top shot off, and there was dye everyone. It looked like a crime scene where the victim bled violet. To top things off, I knocked over the pour pot, so now I had purple dye and wax everywhere.Just then, hubby decides to pop in for lunch. He comes in announcing "smells good in here"; he is full of crap, the candles were unscented. At any rate, he starts to walk into the kicthen. "Bad move!" I cry. Thank the lord for whomever it was that tipped us off that FO removes candle dye. It worked like a charm. It is now three hours later and my kitchen looks almost normal. Scrubbing my kitchen on my hands and knees was not on my list of fun things to do on a day off. The place does smell good!I need some really good liquid dyes. I have the squeeze ones from C&S and they are the pits. Suggestions are welcome.e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth-VT Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Awe E.... :( I bet that was a sight to see. (I'm not laughing........really, I'm not). Yes, FO works wonders doesn't it? I use BCN's liquid dye's. They have switched over to glass bottles w/droppers, so no more "squeeze" incidents. HTH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I'm laughing at you, only because I just did something very similar. Yeah the FO is wonderful. Too bad it doesn't work on really stubborn ones that I missed way long ago.You probably don't order from Peak or LS, but that's where I get my liquids from any more. For some reason those dropper tops don't seem to fall apart as quickly as CCS'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ring of Fire Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Sorry about that E, LOL. Beth-VT is right IMO. BCN for liquid dye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debscent Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I had the same thing happen with the peach dye from C&S. I took the wax and poured it into clamshells and made my own dye blocks. But it looked like a murder scene, dark red splatters--everywhere!That's when you clean everything up, pop your feet up and make a strong beverage!

Stella1952 Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 I like JBN's liquid dyes. Be sure to shake before every use... I do not want to remember how I learned this... traumatic event... wasn't purple... was green... a LOTTA green... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
