grama Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 The Blueberry Cobbler Oil from CS and also LS is a very thick yellow oil. How can I make wax look navy blue instead of a founky kind of blue. I have used the navy liquid dye from CS and it is just not navy. Have several other blues but just don't know if it will help. tiaParaffin wax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rae Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 How many drops are you using? I use CS liquid dyes and I don't remember having a problem getting navy. I know with black one time I had to double the suggested amount of drops and I got a really good black. Now...get back to work and finish those last jars> :yay: :yay: Rae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grama Posted May 28, 2008 Author Share Posted May 28, 2008 With regular oils there is no problem but with this oil being so gold/yellow that's what causes the problem. Got jars poured and topped, now cleaning & labeling:yay: :yay: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 To neutralize a color, I think you add a bit of the color opposite it on a color wheel......for yellow it would be purple. Try with a small amount, add a bit of purple and then your navy and see what happens. Good luck!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
