Darbla Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I asked in another post about saving wax you wanted to preserve and reuse as tarts, but what about wax you don't care about because it's just going to be used as firestarters or something like that, where it doesn't matter if you're trying to preserve any scent? Obviously it would have to be something that doesn't melt when hot liquid wax is poured over it, but it'd also have to be easy to get the wax out of later. I also thought about spreading it out thinly and when it's cooled then break it up? So what do you do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I’ve been filling old metal stock pots with scrapped wax to use for patio citronella torches. 5-6 decent size wicks in those pots should be impressive and make me feel less bad about all that scrap. If it ever thaws here we’ll get to try it out. otherwise I have 6 gallon pails filled and covered. Makes it easy to burn out stumps with fuel like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevcher Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 I use disposable aluminum pans, like the ones you use for grilling or potlucks. They're cheap & can be recycled,also perfect if you want to separate colors/ scents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 I used to save wax chunks in plastic zip lock bags or in a large plastic tub with a lid so I can seal it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam W Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I pour any excess wax in ice cube trays and store in baggies for later use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lighten Up Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I pour mine into muffin tin liners and store in zip bags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
