Daisyd'Light Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 I have ordered samples of diff. waxes, the shopping bags they send them in tear and are messy. What is the best way to store this wax?? Can I use rubbermaid containers? TIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bev Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 I keep my wax in plastic tubs (Rubbermaid type) on shelves in my garage. (My garage is under the house so it stays fairly cool all summer). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geekrunner Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 If you get to the point of buying 50 lb cases, you can transfer them to plastic cat litter containers (the 40 lb containers, not the litter box itself). Be sure to wipe them out real good to get any remaining litter dust out. The lids seal very well and keeps things neat. I have four cats so I have plenty of empty containers!geek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandgirl Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 I leave my wax in the 50lbs boxes they come in, right in the garage. I have not had any problems.The wax flakes get a little dried out after sitting awhile, but I have not seen a difference in my candles from this.

SDM Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 I use rubbermaid type containers also. But I like the cat litter container idea! I have 4 cats also, so using the containers is a very resourceful idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaybee23 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 These can be useful too.http://www.uline.com/Browse_Listing_8150.asp?desc=Plastic+Pails+And+LidsThat is a great idea as well, I bought a bucket like that at Home Depot to keep my lye in. Hadn't thought about it for my wax flakes. But I have 3 cats, so I go through a lot of cat litter containers as well, will have to start saving them.

I bought something like that at Home Depot to keep my lye in. I also have cats and use a lot of containers, so that would be a great idea for storing my soy flakes in. Will have to remember that.
