 Description:
Natures Garden includes color suggestions for each of our fragrances in the description area of each fragrance.
Candle coloring blocks. Available in Red, coral/peach, yellow, blue, green, purple, burgundy, brown, teal, cinnamon, and cranberry. One block is enough color to deeply dye 15 pounds of wax. Each block is between 1/2 ounce and 1 ounce each. For use in candles only. NEVER use these color blocks in cosmetic products!
Color blocks are dye dispersed in a wax medium.
Color blocks do not produce as vibrant colors as our liquid candle dye or powdered candle dye.
Color blocks may produce specks of color on the bottom of your candles. Make sure your color blocks are fully melted before pouring your candle wax.
Using too much color in your candles may clog your wick, create more smoking, may reduce the melt pool of your candle, and may inhibit scent throw.

Only a Little 01/10/2012

A little goes a long way with this dye block. You can add more to the wax for a deep orange or just a little for a coral tint.

how i avoid the specks 10/23/2011

i have been making candles and using color blocks to color them for a little over two years now and the best way i have found to do them is put the shaving of color on top of the wax as it is melting down it melts down with the wax and i never end up with the specks at all with candles anymore

I have noticed that if you put the color blocks in at 185 degrees then there is a chance of the red colors leaving spots of color in the candles. But if you put the coloring in at a slightly higher temperature it tends to leave spots less. I add it at 190-195 degrees. It works for me.

I love your color blocks. When I first started making candles I used the color blocks from a competitor, but these colors are so vibrant. I especially love the blue, it is a gorgeous shade of blue. I use these in your joy wax, and sell bunches of candles, more often to repeat customers.

Orange-Red...Not Quite Red 03/01/2010
|

Reviewer: Erica Fitzgerald from Akron, OH US

I probably should've rated this 4 stars, since it's supposed to be red and isn't quite so, but it's such a pretty color, that I couldn't. I didn't have many problems with the red speckles, like some others...maybe just depends on the melting temp or how much you use. I would think since I use soy, that is probably why it ended up more of an orange-red, since it naturally has a creamy color. If I ever decide I need a "real" red, I'll try the liquid dye, but until then, this will do great!
