Professional Tips & Troubleshooting
Because oil-soluble dyes can sometimes clump, use these techniques to ensure that the dye dissolves completely:
-
The Pre-Mix Method: Disperse the dye powder into a small quantity of melted wax first. Stir thoroughly to create a concentrated liquid, then add this mixture to your main wax batch.
-
The Double-Melt Technique: If you notice speckling or uneven color, allow the dyed wax to cool and solidify completely, then remelt it. This often helps the dye particles distribute more evenly.
-
Achieving “True Black”: For the deepest possible black, we recommend adding a few flakes of black pigment to your dyed paraffin wax.
Important Note for Candle Makers
Caution: This specific dye is not suitable for use with soy wax or CA60 white candle wax. For candle-making applications, ensure you are using paraffin wax to avoid compatibility issues.
