Create beautiful, vibrant candles with Alexes 16 Colorants Set for Candle Making! This wax dye set for candles contains 16 jars with high quality individually colored chips suitable for nearly any kind of wax, except for gel wax. Each jar contains 0.2 oz (5.6 g) of dyes, enough to dye 3.5 - 6 lb (1.6 - 2.8 kg) of wax (0.03-0.06 oz of dyes per 1 lb of wax). The color chips are completely soluble in the melted candle base, so you don't have to worry about clots or the candle surface flaking off or tarnishing with time. Mix any dyes from the set and get new colors to implement your wildest ideas, but remember to take into account the initial color of wax to be mixed with these color chips, as the resulting color of candles may be not as expected. Get creative with Alexes Candle Making Colorants!

We offer high-quality candle making dyes, suitable for organic waxes and paraffin. The only type of wax they are not compatible with is gel wax.
You can mix up the dyes creating a variety of colors and shades according to your ideas and preferences.
For your convenience, we have already crushed the wax dyes into flakes to be conveniently and more easily incorporated into a candle mass.
It may take some time and patience to fully blend the dyes with the wax (up to 5 minutes of continuous stirring at a stable temperature), but there won’t be any clots and the coloring will be even. In addition. The finished candle keeps its color brightness and does not tarnish with time.
Melt your wax / paraffin at the recommended temperature and add the dye. You need to determine the optimal temperature both for your wax /paraffin (not to overheat it) and the dye (to let it start melting).
Make sure you stir the wax / paraffin with the dye at a stable temperature for at least 3-5 minutes to let the dye fully melt and color the candle wax. The recommended temperature for dye melting is 167-185 °F (75-85°C).
Prepare the mold for your future candle. Always take into account the recommended temperature for your mold, as a too hot temperature may distort a plastic mold, for example. Lubricate the mold with silicone for easier release and pour the liquid colored wax / paraffin into it.
Some waxes may form a sinkhole on the candle surface as the candle is cooling and hardening. In this case you should perform additional pouring to fill the sinkhole. As soon as the candle has fully solidified, you can take it out of the mold.
