Frequently Asked Questions
What type of candle dye is best for soy wax?
Liquid candle dyes work best with soy wax as they disperse evenly without clumping. Add the dye to melted wax at around 70-80C and stir thoroughly. Start with 1-2 drops per 100g of wax and adjust to your desired shade. Our certified All Seasons soy waxes accept dye beautifully.
Can I use mica powder in candles?
Mica powder creates a shimmer effect in candles but can clog cotton wicks if used in excess. Use sparingly (0.5-1% by weight) and consider using wood wicks which handle mica better than cotton. Mica works best as a decorative top layer rather than mixed throughout the wax.
How much dye should I use?
For liquid dyes: 2-5 drops per 100g of wax for pastel shades, 5-10 drops for medium colours, and 10-15 drops for deep, vibrant colours. For dye blocks: shave small amounts and add gradually. Always test a small batch first to confirm your colour before committing to a large pour.
Will candle dye affect the scent throw?
No. Properly formulated candle dyes do not affect fragrance performance. However, using excessive amounts of dye can clog the wick and reduce burn quality. Stick to recommended usage rates for clean, colourful, and fragrant candles.
