How do you make your surf wax colored?

Question

We tried melting it and putting food coloring in it but that didn't work. Any tips or new ideas?

Answer 1

You can use food coloring but you need to add a lot.  The candle wax coloring is better.  You can get these little pellets that you melt along with the wax or they come in shavings.  Just drop them in whatever you are melting the wax in (they have a melting point slightly higher then surf wax).

You can likely hook some candle wax coloring at like Michael's or something like that.  I bought some online when I was trying to make some blue surf wax.  Worked alright but you really have to add a lot of color and then it changes the composition of the surf wax a bit.

Answer 2

candle making dye, available at most hobby stores.
