Crayons Don't Work as Dye in Candles
Posted by Lyschel Bersch on
Hi everyone. Just a quick video to show that quality crayons don't work as a colorant in candles if you want to burn the candles. I show the candle wick clogging from the pigment as it is burning for just a few minutes. Cheap crayons that don't color well may not clog the wicks as much but you still won't get much color and who knows what the crayon is actually made from. It may not be made from materials that you actually want to burn.
If you use tiny amounts the candles may burn. But they will probably struggle and won't be deeply colored. The moral of the story is that candle dyes are cheap and made to be used in candles.
