Grani L Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 May I Please ask...what can I use to pour wax into strawberry and cherry embed molds? The small pour pot resulted in a nightmare. It does seem to get better if there is just a small amount of wax in the pot. Any help I will greatly appreciate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chefmom Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I don't know about embeds, but when I am pouring tealights or small molds and votives I use a pour pot that is for making espresso drinks and such. I'm pretty sure it's about 20 ounces and I only fill it half way. It pours with good precision, and I keep a large pour pot filled with the wax I'm using in the water bath to keep it hot, then just fill the little pot as needed. I have a lot less spillage and it just pours better, but yes...I don't fill it full. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I use little stainless steel creamers for small items like lip balm. They come in many different sizes. Got mine from webstaurant store online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got mine from webstaurant store online. lol I used to use those...my daughter stole mine when she started making her lipstick. I moved up to the larger milk steamers (I think that is what they might be called....I'm not a coffee drinker). She makes lots of lipstick now, but still prefers those little milk creamers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdcharm Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 LOL ... I use a small can of just about any sort --- I either push in one side of it and then crunch it to make a sharp spout, or step on it. You can still pry open part of the can so you can work with your wax. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently, I also just squeeze metal cans or tins to form a spout or I have some pouring containers with long spots from Rustic Escentuals. But I dont use those much because theya re plastic and the wax can cool too quickly in it (and harder to clean). I am interested in the small espresso pots pots Chefmom mentioned. I will be looking for those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
