Bernadette Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I would need to "medium" color 25 lbs. of wax? I have an order that requires 25 lbs. of amber colored wax, and I want to make sure I have enough dye to do it. I realize it would be approximate, but at least I'd have an idea of how much dye I'd need to have on hand. TIA:tiptoe: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuzyK Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Hmmm. It depends on how many drops per pound you need to use. I'd say if you have a bottle of that color on hand, it should be enough. I use a lot of red in my melts and have made more than 25 lbs worth using the red and still have half a bottle left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernadette Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 What kind? Liquid?I usually use color blocks, but since I'll be mixing colors(I'm told brown and yellow make amber), I think I'll be using liquid. I'll be ordering all supplies tomorrow.

Sharon in KY Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Not much, I use RE/AH and the most is 8 dr per lb for a darker color. It comes in 1oz size and has hundreds of drops in a bottle. I would start with 1 drop brown in 1 lb of wax and see what the cooled color is. Just brown might be enough. They may even sell amber. http://rusticescentuals.com/Candle-Dye-Liquid/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
