| Dye flakes
are high quality professional candle dyes which have good combustion and do not clog wick
during burn as do with pigments. Will produce rich colors that are resistant to fading and
bleeding. Recommended usage is 0.1% to 0.2% by weight of wax formulation (typically
between 1 and 2 grams per kilogram.....between 0.5 gram (0.018 oz) and 1 gram (0.035 oz)
per pound of wax. For the most precise measuring, we recommend using a good digital gram
scale. Size of flakes may vary by color. One ounce of dye flakes will color approximately
45-65 pounds of wax. Available
in 1/2 oz and 1 oz. |

Reddig-Glo Color Chips
 |
| In addition
to the dye color blocks and liquid candle coloring we also offer the diamond shaped
Reddig-Glo color chips. Each chip is capable of coloring at least one pound of wax (or
more if a lighter shade is desired). The addition of wax additives such as Sno-Wax, Luster
Crystals, Stearic Acid or Vybar will cause the colors to
lighten. Chips are packaged in 10's, 20's, 50's and 4 oz (containing
about
160 chips). Colors marked with
"(p)" are pigments and are fluorescent (will glow under a black light). Pigments
are less susceptible to fading and "bleeding". They do not actually dissolve in
wax but rather become suspended in wax. Therefore, when using these colors, the wax must
be stirred well and any color particles not in suspension should not be poured into mold. |
