Powdered dye

Submitted by blueridgemercantile on Mon, 04/19/2004 - 17:58. Fragrance, EO, and Dye Research SIG | Candlemaking Best Practices

Does anyone have any tips on getting powdered dye to completely dissolve in the soy wax? Have always used liquid dyes in the past. Found there to be more color options with the powders, however, am having trouble getting it to dissolve. Any suggestions?

Dissolving powder dies

It has been our experience that you need to get the temp up over 175F closer to 200F for the powder to dissolve properly.

Hope this helps.
