<p>I have tried liquid wax dye.</p>

<p>The only issue i've ever had is too much dye seems to change some of the properties of the wax where, if lamp is turned on for hours and hours on end, the wax becomes re-solidified. Not sure the reason for this, but I can conclude that some certain liquid dyes may disrupt the balance between the water and wax.</p>
<p>It is a "proceed at your own risk" scenario but the wax always turns out beautiful afterwards with the right dose!!</p>
<p>When you begin, add small drops of dye at a time to reach your desired shade. The most reliable liquid dye for lamps would likely be Claude's from Lavalabcreations.com, as they are specifically made for lava. Good luck!</p>
