FireStarter Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Helllloooo.. I ordered a few 4 oz bottles of liquid dye from their most recent surplus sale.. note I have only used Peak's liquid dyes and dye chips so I am unfamiliar with other dyes, but I couldn't pass this sale up!! Anyway, I just got them in and opened the package.. WOW they are strong!!! Has anyone ever used these before and if so.. are they supposed to smell like that?? Will this affect the FO in the candle and the way it burns? Peaks do not smell like that.. I didn't even open the bottles, just opening the box they came in let off a strong odor and has given me quite a headache.. TIA.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debscent Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I use their regular dyes and while they smell, they don't affect the scent of my candles. I really like their dyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireStarter Posted December 3, 2008 Author Share Posted December 3, 2008 Awesome! That's my main concern is whether they affect the finished product.. if not then kudos! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debscent Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I can't promise with those oils if they aren't their regular line. But yeah, they stink. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camay Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I purchased about 20 of the surplus dyes from them a couple months ago. Those dyes stink more than any other I have tried! However, in the finished product, I can only smell the fragrance.I transfered them to glass bottles, and that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireStarter Posted December 3, 2008 Author Share Posted December 3, 2008 Camay, I was thinking of doing the same thing.. I noticed that some of the labels were discolored, which made me wonder if the "dye" or something in them isn't seeping out through the plastic bottles.. I may transfer them because now the entire room is starting to smell!! Lol.. Debscent, I don't know if these are from their regular line or not.. the sale said something about French dyes? All I know is that they were $4.99 for each 4 oz bottle instead of $14.99 each.. like I said, couldn't pass that up! I'm such a sale addict!
