jwn6w Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Boy I sure have a lot of questions lately. I am looking order more colors of dye. I now use the stinky liquid kind. Stella told me that JBN sells the liquid dyes that have no odor. I would like to know before I order anything what the advantage is of one over the other?? :undecided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 Here's the description from JBN's EVO dyes:http://www.justbynature.com/Dyes_Candle.htmlHere's the description of the REACH compliant ones from JBN:http://www.justbynature.com/Dyes_Candle_REACH.htmlIf a dye has a stinky or chemical smell, it's because there are stinky harsh chemicals in there. Some folks say they can't smell this in the finished candle, but I was able to smell it when I ordered some other liquid black & burgundy once. I threw them away! The smell isn't the only issue for me. What I care about is not using a dye that has chemicals in it that will make the candle fumes more toxic when burned.There is a price difference. I think the REACH & EVO dyes are slightly more expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stella1952 Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 Candlewic have dyes that hve no fragrance Yep and they are the same EVO dyes as JBN carries. For folks in the east, the shipping should be easier for them.http://www.candlewic.com/store/category.aspx?q=c73&title=Liquid%20Colors%20Pigment%20and%20Dyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soylights Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 I used "Candle Colors" from The CandleMakers Store. We never had any problems with this dye and it worked really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
