Marbled Candle How-To | Part 3 

That sounds so cute!

@@candlescience She IS cute!! 🥰

Paraffin does have a tendency to shrink a bit as it cools. Container paraffin wax is usually better with this than pillar wax but it can still happen. There was a slight dip here but nothing that required a second pour this time. If you keep seeing a dip after you pour the candle but before it is burned, you could try a heat gun or pouring a bit more wax in to level it out.

It can be tricky to tell the exact temperature of the wax before you swirl it but you'll want it to begin to cool a bit before tipping the jar. Paraffin wax tends to cool very fast so this may be a quick process. Once the candles are fully poured though, they tend to do well when stored in an environment where the temperature does not fluctuate much and is usually around 68°F-72°F.

Typically, no. Using a very large amount of dye can affect how the wick burns and it's always good to test but generally this amount should not cause issues.

I haven't tested it but I'd say it's worth an experiment! The powder pigment may adhere to the jar in a similar way or you may want to try mixing it with some liquid wax first and then "painting" that into the jars.

You can, yes! I'd recommend using colors that will go well together though because they will likely begin to blend together as the candle melts

@candlescience Okay, that sounds perfect. Thank you 😊

I wouldn't recommend using thermocol glass for this project due to the potential for melting.

Here, I used the Orange Liquid Candle Dye but you could use any color you'd like! www.candlescience.com/color/liquid-dye/

Did it work?

@acetoase226 How much more expensive is the Soy Wax than regular wax ? I know soy is a little healthier to inhale 🌿

Any wax is healthier than a paraffin

It can be found at www.candlescience.com! www.candlescience.com/color/liquid-dye/

This is the Orange Liquid Candle Dye: www.candlescience.com/color/orange-liquid-candle-dye/

I like to use wick stickers! www.candlescience.com/equipment/wick-stickers-pro/

You can also use glue with the glue gun. I use wick stickers from my local candle supply store.

@@griseldaguerrero7199 hey thanks for suggestions 😊❤️

@@Happinessonthefeast your welcome ❤️

Working slowly typically prevents air getting trapped in the wax with this technique but if the wax is too cool it could be more likely to happen. Generally, the candles will cool and burn as expected though!

It can, yes, but it can be a bit trickier. Soy wax tends to cool much faster than paraffin or parasoy so it may take a bit to get the timing right. The dye may bleed and color the entire candle if the wax is too hot but if the wax is too cool, it will be difficult to get a skewer through at all. Dye will usually appear more pastel in soy wax and there will likely be some frosting eventually, which could affect the sharpness of the design.

Here we used IGI 4627 wax, Orange Liquid Candle Dye, an LX 16 wick, wick sticker, wick bar, and wooden skewer to make this candle. You could add fragrance as well!

Probably not

Its more like brown sugar mlik tea
