LIQUID CANDLE DYE ~ Our liquid candle dyes are packaged
in solid white plastic bottles to help extend the shelf
life of the dye. Official shelf life is one year, but they
can last two or three years if kept in a closed
container away from heat and light sources. We recommend using our
pipettes,
which
is an easy disposable way of dispensing the dye. Each
color can be made into different shades
by adjusting the usage amount. Suggested usage varies for each
color & shade, and will vary depending upon wax formula
and additives. Once you get the shade you want, keep
notes on the amount and measure used for easier color
duplication in future batches. For larger batches,
1 tsp of dye equals about 132 drops or 5 grams. One ounce of dye should color
approx. 125 lbs of wax to a medium shade.
.002% equals approximately 1 drop of dye per pound of wax
.01% equals approximately 2-3 drops of dye per pound of wax
.05% equals approximately 7-8 drops of dye per pound of wax
.1% equals approximately 37 drops (1/4 tsp. + 4 drops) of dye per pound of wax
.2% equals approximately 88 drops (1/2 tsp. + 1/8 tsp.) of dye per pound of wax
