OH an old coffee cup........ thats a wonderful idea. I was using an aluminum cup; and the handle kept bending. I'm going to use a coffee cup from now on Thanks so much for this super idea!!! alyce

Thanks so much for your help. I do have a presto pot. I wish it had a pour spout but it doesnt. I use to use the pot; but it seemed to melt the wax way too fast and way too hot even on the lowest setting. I do find the pot convenient when using feather wax. Those pellets are so hard to melt properly without OVER heating. I'm going to take your advice on the temp for pouring at 165. Thanks so much for your help:)

Hi ladies/gents, I'm just getting back into my favorite hobby of candle making after a long year and a half absence. I was ill, and unable to lift and pour my wax. Its amazing how much you forget in that time. I'm hoping my FO's will still be good. I don't sell, I make for myself and my family. I thought I would get back in the groove by making tarts. We all love them. My question is this...... I was going to make my tarts with a 50/50 blend of R-2540 & 6006 single pour container wax. I've lost my notes on what temp to pour at. Can someone please advise me. I feel like a beginner. My two favorite things to make have always been tarts and soap petals. Thanks so much for any help you can give me. I'm ready to take notes so I can get started Alyce:)
