aviator girl Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Rainwater from CS is giving me fits and I know it can't be a heavy fo. I have to go quite a bit higher on my wick size with this f/o and the flame always looks like it's going to drown out. I even re-poured it with another batch because I thought I screwed up. I did use a fluorescent blue dye chip with this FO though. I am going to pour it without dye tomorrow and see what happens. I normally use liquid dye.Have you guys experienced this. Does this happen to you when you use dye chips? Or maybe it's the fluorescent dye chip or just the brand I am using! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandleMama6 Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 What wax and fragrance load are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugtussle Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Flourescent dye chips CANNOT be used in container candles. They clog the wick. Bug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candybee Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 What Bug said. Flourescent dyes use pigment that clogs wicks. They are designed more for candles you don't want to burn like forever pillars or overdip in cut 'n curl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aviator girl Posted April 9, 2010 Author Share Posted April 9, 2010 I am glad I posted the question. That explains why I am having such a hard time wicking that container. Glad I didn't buy but one cotainer of this stuff!Anyone have any suggestions on what to use for vibrant colors? I am thinking like a fun orange for coco mango and maybe a fun blue color. I'll probably post a new thread about this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
