catseye Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 I want to pick up a digital scale. My husband picked up a cheapie kitchen scale, which is fine for the wax, but I estimating the FO is a nightmare. What kind do you recommend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandmaskitchen Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 I bought one on eBay for less than $20 called: Digiweigh digital scale. I originally bought it just for shipping things, but now I use it for wax and fo measuring. It not only weighs in pounds and ounces, but also weighs in kilograms and grams. It will weigh items up to about 50 lbs. I've had mine for about a year and it works great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spurs2150 Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 I got mine at Walmart for $29.00, it's a digital scale and works quite well. I see that you live in Round Rock, they sell that same digital scale at HEB for $19.00, if you have HEB grocers in Round Rock. HTH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everito Bandito Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 I have to stick with affordabilty as much as I possibly can. I bought the Escali Primo digital scale from Target.com. My local store didn't carry it in stock.(although the website says "online and in stores") The total after shipping (7.99) and sales tax (yes they did charge sales tax of 1.98) came to 34.91I live in S.C. and think it was shipped from Minnesota. I saw one of these scales on a candle suppliers website after I had already bought mine. (can't remember which website it was) I probably could've saved a bit on shipping had I bought it through them.The scale is plastic and small but my work area is small so that's ok with me. The weighing deck is about 5 3/4 in. It will weigh up to 11 lbs.It weighs pounds, ounces, and grams - I usually keep mine on ounces setting - ie: 16.25 ouncesIt does have the tare feature so you can (if you so desire) put your wax in your pouring pot - put your pot of wax on scale - hit tare button and it'll go to zero - then pour in some of that expensive fragrance...lol....and never lose a drop of that high dollar stuff by weighing it straight to the pouring pot rather than pouring into a seperate container to weigh it before adding to the mix. HTHP.S. A heavy duty candle maker would likely use a heavier duty scale, but for my little operation I consider it a decent buy.http://www.target.com/gp/browse.html/ref=in_br_display-ladders/601-4381203-3124146?%5Fencoding=UTF8&node=16393851P.S.S. I did some searching and found the candle supplier with the same scale. Just scroll down a bit.http://www.kycandlewaxsupply.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
