Marbled Candle How-To | Part 2
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Here is another technique to get really unique patterns and swirls in your candles! I used paraffin wax here, which typically cools faster than soy so you can work a bit quicker. You will also have a little more control over the design this way but half the fun is watching the dye do it's own thing!

I kinda liked how the dye bled in the pink one :D very fruity looking
You didn’t state what temp you’re supposed to pour - I did it like 5 diff temps with soy and when I poured at 52 degrees, right before it sets and it didn’t melt the sides all other temps melted the sides. Hope that helps others
How does it work with Coconut Wax?

It may! We haven't tested this method with coconut wax as we currently only carry a coconut/soy blend. The swirling tends to work well with waxes with higher melt points though and ones less prone to frosting.
What happens if we add too much of colour

If you add to much color it may begin to dye the wax entirely and you will lose the streak or ribbon effect. Instead of the marbled pattern, it may look like just a coating of dyed wax.
What colors should be used

You can use any color you like but I'd recommend using Liquid Candle Dye: www.candlescience.com/color/liquid-dye/
Can I use alcohol ink for this?

I haven't tested this specifically but I wouldn't recommend it. Adding the ink could create separation and pockets of alcohol if it doesn't blend well. This could lead to inconsistent and potentially unsafe burning. Inks also typically use pigments, not dye, which has a higher potential of clogging wicks.
What is that colour name???
