My wife gets the inexpensive candles at discount stores(Dollar General, etc.) They are usually made of parrafin.
She saves the 'stubs' for me. I take 'em to the shop to use for simple finishes.
I can't recall having any problems with 'a deep red color' though.
I sometimes touch a bit of candle to a warm punch or pair of tongs......merely as a rust preventative.
