This is beautiful and I want to try this with my soy candles

I like this technique and I use it on my artisan dessert candles ❤

Love this technique

I used this technique with a mold that looks like a little girl in a dress holding a cat and she looks fabulous 🥰 10/10 would and have done it angin

When you poured that wax, does that one tunnel in? No matter how slow I pour my paraffin it always tunnels

Paraffin does have a tendency to shrink a bit as it cools. Container paraffin wax is usually better with this than pillar wax but it can still happen. There was a slight dip here but nothing that required a second pour this time. If you keep seeing a dip after you pour the candle but before it is burned, you could try a heat gun or pouring a bit more wax in to level it out.

This is beautiful! But will this affect how the candle will burn like will these colors over power the wick ?

Typically, no. Using a very large amount of dye can affect how the wick burns and it's always good to test but generally this amount should not cause issues.

What temperature do you recommend for the wax to cool for the dying process?

It can be tricky to tell the exact temperature of the wax before you swirl it but you'll want it to begin to cool a bit before tipping the jar. Paraffin wax tends to cool very fast so this may be a quick process. Once the candles are fully poured though, they tend to do well when stored in an environment where the temperature does not fluctuate much and is usually around 68°F-72°F.

I use powder pigment but it *looks pretty similar to dye when it’s melted. Could it possibly work to make marble or is liquid dye the only way?

I haven't tested it but I'd say it's worth an experiment! The powder pigment may adhere to the jar in a similar way or you may want to try mixing it with some liquid wax first and then "painting" that into the jars.

Pretty, What kind of dye do you use ?

@acetoase226 How much more expensive is the Soy Wax than regular wax ? I know soy is a little healthier to inhale 🌿

What is that colour called? Is it paint?

This is the Orange Liquid Candle Dye: www.candlescience.com/color/orange-liquid-candle-dye/

does this technique also work on soy wax?

@candlescience

It can, yes, but it can be a bit trickier. Soy wax tends to cool much faster than paraffin or parasoy so it may take a bit to get the timing right. The dye may bleed and color the entire candle if the wax is too hot but if the wax is too cool, it will be difficult to get a skewer through at all. Dye will usually appear more pastel in soy wax and there will likely be some frosting eventually, which could affect the sharpness of the design.

You can also use glue with the glue gun. I use wick stickers from my local candle supply store.

Thermocol glass mold is ok for this candle

@candlescience

I wouldn't recommend using thermocol glass for this project due to the potential for melting.

How about air bubbles?

@candlescience

Working slowly typically prevents air getting trapped in the wax with this technique but if the wax is too cool it could be more likely to happen. Generally, the candles will cool and burn as expected though!

Mam I want to know the ingredients

Here we used IGI 4627 wax, Orange Liquid Candle Dye, an LX 16 wick, wick sticker, wick bar, and wooden skewer to make this candle. You could add fragrance as well!

I wouldn't use that rusty brownish color... 💩🩸
