JAYRU620 Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I use titanium dioxide for my cut and curl candles. Does anyone else have a problem reheating wax that has titanium dioxide in it. It takes an extremely long time to reheat. If I do two pots at once, the other pot is melted long before the pot with the titanium dioxide in it even gets started melting. Also, I think I used too much because it seeps to the bottom and must be mixed throughout the entire dip. Is there any way to avoid that mixing?

hellen Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Hi,Perhaps mix it with a small amount of wax thoroughly and then add it to the bulk wax may help.I dont use it with candles (but I may now)..I use it predominantly when making soap...and when making large quantities that is what I do.Cheers,Hells Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatinDucky Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Mixing in a small amount wont help actually, that's it's nature. Since it's a pigment and not a dye it doesn't actually blend. I believe it just floats suspended until the wax hardens. That's what my white "dye" does, as well as the fuschia color chips I have that are made from pigments.
