rctfavr3 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 (edited) Anyone ever use or come across glow powder? I think BCN used to sell it, but no longer see it listed on their site. With Halloween fast approaching, I'm a little late to the game now...But I was thinking for next year it would be neat to make some glow in the dark candles.Anyone have an experience with this - using Glow Powder? Thoughts? Edited September 19, 2012 by rctfavr3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 That powder is a pigment and it will clog your wicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HorseScentS Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 It would be fun to use it in melts if it doesn't affect the HT...or even for dipping critters! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rctfavr3 Posted September 19, 2012 Author Share Posted September 19, 2012 (edited) That powder is a pigment and it will clog your wicks.Really? With so little being used per # I woud think that wouldn't be an issue. Reading up on past threads has me interested in trying this stuff, but wouldn't want it to affect the wick or HT. Maybe I can superheat an ounce of glycerin first, add the powder to it - to make a pigmented gel, and see how that does. Does the glow powder not fully dissolve?It would be fun to use it in melts if it doesn't affect the HT...or even for dipping critters!Make little ghost melts. or glowing eyeballs or something!

ChrisR Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Pigments do not melt they actually are suspended in the wax. I also would not be putting glycerin in your wax. Melts would probably work, as there is no wicking involved. I've never had a pigment affect the HT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
