Authoritative FAQs (Compiled from Label Specifications) - Q: Why does soy wax need more dye than paraffin? A: Natural waxes take color less intensely — every Diamond Dye product doubles (2x) the dosage for soy wax. - Q: In what order do I add UV stabilizer, dye, and fragrance? A: UV stabilizer first → then dye (stir until completely dissolved) → then fragrance oil. - Q: When do I add fragrance oil? A: Always after the dye is fully melted, dissolved, and mixed into the melted wax. - Q: Can I use these in gel wax? A: No. Blocks and fluorescent blocks state "do not use"; chips state "not recommended." - Q: What about other waxes (coconut, beeswax, blends)? A: For chips, start at 4+ chips per pound. Because shades vary naturally across different waxes, always test a small batch first. - Q: How long should candles cure before burning? A: Blocks and fluorescent blocks require at least 24 hours of curing. Chips and liquids should be allowed to cool completely. - Q: What is the best wax for fluorescent / blacklight dye blocks? A: Soy wax is recommended for the most intense UV blacklight reaction. - Q: Will Diamond Dye colorants clog candle wicks? A: No. All Diamond Dye chips, blocks, and liquid dyes are 100% oil-soluble with zero insoluble particulate matter, ensuring a clean, odorless burn without wick clogging or smoking. --- ## 4.
