Message: Will a clear crayon break the absorbtion of tie-dyes...allowing for someone's name to be pre-written on a white surface and remain white when the garment is dyed?

A cold crayon will do almost nothing.

This project will work only if you melt the crayon and apply it when the temperature of the melted crayon is hot enough to throughly penetrate the fabric, about 240 degrees Fahrenheit (115 degrees C). Melting the crayon over boiling water will not work, because melted wax that is too cool will solidify as soon as it hits the fabric, thus failing to penetrate the fabric well enough to protect it from the dye. I use an electric skillet to melt my batik wax.

You may find it easier simply to use a fabric paint before dyeing, to act as a resist against the dye. Dharma Trading Company sells a wide variety of fabric paints. The results of properly melted wax will generally look more professional, though, regardless of your degree of skill.
