CandleCouture Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Where can I get Pour Pots bigger than this? I can't seem to find any anywhere. I can really only find the four pound and the smaller, one pound pots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystical_angel1219 Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 BCN and Candlewic both have larger sizes available. :smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 You will find full pots over 4lb's get very heavy fast and wear your arm out. Just use 2 4LB and make 2 batches. If you are worried about them not being the same color just use a 3rd pot and pour half of each into it and back into your other pots that way the color will be mixed the same.

CandleCouture Posted April 11, 2006 Author Share Posted April 11, 2006 I'd really rather one larger pot. It is for purposes of simplicity and in measuring out fragrance oils and the like. It's also far more efficient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlebug Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Check out Wick's Wares 5 pound pour pot. I just got one of these and I love it. I can do a dozen candles now instead of 8 using the regular 4 pound pour pot as i couldn't control the wax flow as it was heavy.It has a ring handle on the side, that can get hot so use something to grab it with, and the pot makes a small steady stream while you are pouring. Big plus it doesn't drip! I am getting more of these!http://wickswares.safeshopper.com/4/cat4.htm?114 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awickedscent Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 all that is is a perck coffee pot. If you have a wal mart, Target or outdoor camping supply place close to you they will have it. I have one that I use for camping and it holds quite a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That extra handle is really helpful.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sudsnwicks Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 You will find full pots over 4lb's get very heavy fast and wear your arm out. Not only that, it's hard to aim into the mold or container when it's so heavy. Especially if it's a small mold or container. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystical_angel1219 Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Have you tried those pots? They look nice. I've wondered how they pour.The one from Candlewic is heavy as hell when full. Its very solid construction and would last a strong, able bodied person a long time. I think with the right amount of physical strength, it would be ideal for production candlemaking. You notice how I emphasis the STRONG person- this pot about broke my arm. I have the one they no longer carry on the site.- it's commercial grade. The one in the photo on the site now isn't nearly as heavy duty.The one from BCN is perfect- it holds alot of wax- at least a gallon. Great pot for the price. If you do candles per scent in case quantities~ it is the ideal tool. If you use a melter, you can knock out candles incredibly fast with a couple of cases of these pots. I rigged the poured spout for better accuracy when pouring into containers for virtually no mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
