Mixing wax,color & FO in plastic buckets


Recommended Posts

I have only used METAL pouring pots, but I need something larger (not a commercial melter), will a plastic bucket work. Ha sanyone tried adding a spicket to one? I dont mean the buckets you used to wash your windows with I mean the large ones that paint comes in, like this http://www.europeanglass.ca/Commercial/Paint/Images/large_paint_buckets.jpg

Im thinking that I would have to have a different bucket for each scent, im sure that there will be some residue in the cells of the plastic.

If I was goiny to try to use buckets, I would try only ones that are made from Vinyl (Polyvinyl Chloride or PVC) or Polypropylene (PP). These plastics will resist the corrosive effect of the FO's better. I've only used the standard metal pouring pots and glass measuring cups.
