About products:
MillCreek dyes are a breeze to
use! One ounce of flakes will color approximately 30 to 40 pounds of wax to
a medium shade. The liquid colorant is more concentrated and
will color more wax. For lighter or darker shades, simply adjust the
amount used. The best way to obtain consistency
throughout your candle line is by weighing the amount used before adding
to wax. Different dyes can be mixed to create
different colors. Try adding a little brown to achieve a richer color.
Conducting fade and burn tests is always recommended for individual
results.
Dye Flakes: Dissolve dye flakes in the wax at
approximately 180 degrees. Stirring the dye flakes into your wax
will speed up the process. Always make sure color flakes are
completely melted before pouring the candle. Typical usage is
approximately 1/2 gram per pound of wax. Tip: When done
mixing dyes, dip a piece of white paper in your pour pot and
allow to dry.
This color should give you a good idea of how your finished candles
will appear. The color you are trying to achieve is a matter of
preference and the amount used will depend on your desired shade. Dye
Flakes are sold in one ounce bags. For Body and Body Safe Colorants, see the

Liquid Dyes: Add your liquid dye drops into your melted wax at
175*, stirring until incorporated. The liquid dyes do have a scent
from the bottle but are used in such a very small percentage that the
dye scent should not change the scent of your candles. The color you are trying to achieve is a matter of
preference and the amount used will depend on your desired shade.
Liquid Candle Dyes sold in one ounce dropper bottles.
UV Stabilizer: is used to aid in color retention of colored
candles that are exposed to sunlight/UV rays and fluorescent lighting.
Recommend testing usage: .01%-.03%. Add into wax as it is
melting prior to introducing color and/or fragrance. Mix
thoroughly before adding color and/or fragrance. UV Stabilizer is available in powered form in
one ounce packages.
B&B Colorants are for use in Body
Wash, Soy Body Splash Bases and Melt and Pour Soaps.
