Candle Dye Chips & Blocks

Candle dye chips and blocks are concentrated, solid colorants that dissolve evenly into melted wax. Unlike powders or liquids, they offer precise dosing, clean handling, and consistent coloration across batches. Whether you’re tinting small votives or flooding large pillars, these pre-measured solids simplify color control and minimize mess.

Key Benefits of Candle Dye Chips & Blocks

Accurate Dosing
Each chip or block can be weighed or counted, ensuring repeatable color strength without guesswork.
Minimal Waste
Solid form prevents spills and over-pouring—any unused chips can be stored and reused.
Clean Handling
No clumps, dust clouds, or staining from liquid drips, making your workspace tidier and safer.
Uniform Dispersion
Chips melt smoothly into hot wax, avoiding streaks or spotty pigmentation.
Wide Color Range
Available in hundreds of hues, from soft pastels to intense jewel tones and specialty metallics.

Choosing and Using Dye Chips & Blocks

Determine Your Batch Size
• For containers under 8 oz, start with 2–4 chips and adjust.
• For pillars over 16 oz, use blocks or multiple chips for deeper saturation.
Match Wax Type
• Test chips in your specific wax (soy, paraffin, coconut) since absorption rates vary.
Weigh or Count Precisely
• Use a digital scale for weight-based recipes or count chips for quick riffing.
Add at the Right Temperature
• Stir in dye when wax reaches pour temperature (130–150 °F) for optimal dispersion.
Adjust Gradually
• Melt in small increments—dye is potent and a little goes a long way.

Practical Tips

Pre-mix dye with a spoon or whisk before pouring to see true color in the melt pool.
Keep a color journal that notes chip count, wax type, and temperature for future reference.
Store chips in a cool, dark place to prevent fading; keep blocks wrapped to avoid dust.
Layer shades by dyeing separate mini-batches and pouring in stripes or ombré effects.
Combine metallic block dust with clear wax for shimmering accents without cloudiness.
