mtt Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I need a good xmas red in the wax 6006. I'm using liquid dyes with 2 lbs of melted wax, how many drops of red do I need to use or do I need to add another color to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen M Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 You can add green also, the complimentary color will darken it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candlelady Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I use 6006 and Cajuns Red liquid dye. I use 25 drops of red per 2 lbs. 50 drops for 4 lbs. Makes a nice brilliant red. If you want to tone it down drop the red down and add brown. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
