Liquid Candle Dye

Our liquid candle dye is packaged in glass amber 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.

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.

We recommend using our mini measuring spoons, which is an easy disposable way of dispensing the dye, however it does come with one eye dropper.

Suggested Use Percentages:

• .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
