My plan using 4 pouring pots.

Step 1 - Fill them with enough wax to pour 4 candles each

Step 2 - Place 1 pot on double burner (old school) until temp reaches 175-180

Step 3 - Remove pot 1, place pot 2 on double burner

Step 4 - Add FO to pot 1 at 165-170, mix well. Let cool to 100-110 (45 min)

Step 5 - Remove pot 2, place pot 3 on double burner

Step 6 - Add FO to pot 2 at 165-170, mix well. Let cool to 100-110 (45 min)

Step 7 - Remove pot 3, place pot 4 on double burner

Step 8 - Add FO to pot 3 at 165-070, mix well. Let cool to 100-110 (45 min)

Step 9 - Remove pot 4, add FO at 165-170 mix well. Let cool 100-110.

While wax is cooling prepare your jars, molds etc......

Once pot 1 has reached its pouring temp, pour. By the time you finished pouring pot 2 should be at its pouring temp. Repeat until all has been poured.

This is the most I can pour without a Presto pot or any type of commercial melter.

yea you do.....Presto Pots are almost a necessity! Just like a heat gun and fragrances....lol I have 4 on my counters and 1 under the table (for just in case :laugh2: )

How much wax do they hold and how long does it take to completely melt it?

If I'm getting ready for a show I can pour 75 pint size jars in a day. If not a show, I pour as stock dwindles. Right now I'm building up stock for a two day show and becausw wholesale orders are picking up slightly.
