GaryPC Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I am trying to do a special project candle that requires some dark colors. I have tried soy, but it takes a large amount of color to get the colors I desire, and then makes frosting very evident. I haven't messed with parrafin before, so I am wondering how this one does with colors. Does anyone have any examples of candles poured with 4627? Thanks!

JanetsCandles Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Yes, actually. I have a post in the candle gallery. http://www.craftserver.com/forums/showthread.php?100862-Halloween-is-really-one-of-my-favorite-holidays I made some out of 4627 in orange/black for halloween here. They came out well, and dark colors were no problem. I'm sure it would be a bit different in ratio to the soy, but you should be OK to get it in the 4627.

debratant Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 4627 takes color very well. I do not have any pics of candles on this laptop, but it colors great. I use 4627 exclusively for containers. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbla Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I mix a little bit of soy in my 4627 (mostly because I'm just trying to use up the soy; it's not enough here to affect the color negatively), and I got a perfect, deep forest green with 20 drops of liquid 'Hunter Green' from Peak in a pound of the wax. This actually might be a little TOO dark a green for a lot of people, but I thought it went well enough with the 'Canadian Balsam' FO I was using.

GaryPC Posted November 27, 2011 Author Share Posted November 27, 2011 Does the 4627 have the problem with frosting like soy waxes? It shows up really bad with the colored sous I did, so I'm wanting to prevent that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
