Can I add candle dye after the wax has cooled?
For the best results, add your candle dye when the wax is fully melted and between 170-185 degrees Fahrenheit. If the wax is too cool, the dye might not dissolve properly, leading to uneven coloring. Make sure the dye is fully melted and mixed in before you pour the wax into molds or containers.
Will using too much candle dye affect the burn quality of my candles?
Using too much candle dye can mess with how your candles burn. Too much dye can clog the wick, causing a smaller flame and more soot. To keep your candles looking great and burning well, stick to the recommended amount of dye.
How can I test the color of my candle wax before pouring?
To test the color of your candle wax, you can do a "wax dip test." Dip a small spoon or a wick into the melted, colored wax and let it cool and harden. This will give you a good indication of the final color of your candle. If the color is not as desired, you can add more dye to adjust the intensity.
