lots_n_more Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I was wondering what is easiest to work withchips, blocks, liquid, powder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerinarkansas Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I have the blocks. powder and liquid. The liquid has a chemical smell to me but the colors are great. I mostly use powder because it's easier for me to get the same color on a regular basis but the colors aren't as dark. Blocks are hard for me to cut...maybe there is a trick...but I don't get consistant color because of my cutting. Ginger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flutterbye Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I use powder and liquid. Liquid is great because it's very easy to use and 1 ounce will last you FOREVER. I've never really noticed The smell of them affecting any of my scents. But they can be kinda unpredictable if your color mixing...imo. Powder is great for color mixing, but you have to watch because sometimes they can leave a sandy redisue at the bottom of your candles or pour pots. Everyone has their own opinions on what works best though but I'd go with liquid if you can find the colors you like in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linnyeg Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Another liquid user here! I love it, so easy to measure (as opposed to blocks) and the very little scent it has does NOT transfer through to your candles *I use Peaks* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephsteph Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I use chips and blocks. I grate the blocks with a mini grater and measure the amount on a jewelers scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgia Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I use liquid, too. I also make "blocks" in a dixie cup with a drop of dye and a bit of wax. That way if I need 1/2 drop, I can do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jen Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I don't use liquid myself but have heard from others that it can be quite messy. I have blocks and chips, I use blocks when I'm making something creative and chips when I want to be consistent. You can put 1/2 or 1/4 chhip in different wax batches and still get the same colour.

grandmaskitchen Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I use chips and liquids. I use chips if I just want a light shade and liquids to achieve the darker shades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelaVA Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I use mostly liquid dyes. I use chips for a few colors that I have a hard time mixing (like Peach) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinMom Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I use liquid and chips. I find the blocks are hard to use if you want to duplicate a colour. Even with weighing out the colour I can never get it the same again, either too dark or too light never just right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bev Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Liquids for me, too. As previously posted, they last forever and I don't really notice the dye smell affecting the fragrances of my candles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homespun5 Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Liquid is the only way for me! I find it really easy to get some amazing colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
