Thanks <em>Yes, of course. You must make a solution of the potassium nitrate and water, you will have to experiement with percentages but I recommend starting out small. You will then soak the candle wicks in the solution for a few hours. Take the wicks out and allow them to air dry. Use the wicks as you normally would. When you light them they will burn with a violet color. Hope this helps! Sylvia</em> Can you tell me how much potassium nitrate needs to go into the candle to make the violet flame? Thanks
