Inka gold, candle coloring pen, 29ml

Does the wax in the KREUL Candle Pen need to be heated?

No, the best thing about the candle paint pen is that you can start right away. The liquid wax-based paint is easy to squeeze out of the pen. This makes it simple to create dots, small hearts, or lines.

One popular technique is applying the colour with a sponge. This creates an even, soft layer that looks like the popular dip-dye effect, but without having to dip the candle into hot wax. Colour transitions can be created by gently dabbing. Larger motifs can also be made easily with the candle pen. Simply place some of the candle paint on a plate and use a brush to paint it onto the candle.

How can you clean the brush after painting with the Candle Pen?

Since the candle paint contains liquid wax, there are a few small things to keep in mind when cleaning. First, wipe the brush on a cloth or kitchen paper to remove as much paint residue as possible. Then clean the brush under warm water and lather it with a little soap. Finally, reshape the brush and leave it to dry flat.

Is the Candle Pen vegan?

No, it is not. The liquid wax-based paint contains beeswax. This natural ingredient enhances the candle paint, but also means that the paint is not vegan.

Can candle motifs be prepared on a sheet before applying them with the Candle Pen?

Yes, it is possible to prepare motifs for candle decoration in advance. However, instead of plastic foil, we recommend using baking paper, as the motifs can be removed more easily later.

Here’s how: create the motif on baking paper with the candle pen and let it dry. Peel it off and warm it well with your hands. Place the motif on the candle and press it on firmly. One more tip: the wax motifs should not be too delicate, otherwise they may be difficult to handle.

How long does the wax in the Candle Pen take to dry?

That depends on the painting technique. If the paint is dabbed onto the candle with a sponge, it dries in about 15 minutes. Direct application from the pen takes between 3 and 8 hours, depending on how thick the layer of paint is. Dots dry faster than lines. Once the colour becomes more intense, it is dry and can be touched with a finger.
