ladysj Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Okay sorry for all the questions and posting today lol but since I'm unemployed at the moment I'm making candles coming and going. What is the best way to get the gel out of my pyrex measuring cup? Would goo gone work on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CathyinME Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Never had to try goo gone! I just let them sit until the gel is cold & then I peel it out, comes right out. For containers that I've tested in, I dig out what I can with my fingers, fill up with water & let sit, wipe out with paper towel & then wash with really hot, soapy water. Hope this helps some.

Luci Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 I use the same process as CathyinMe. Never have any problem with glass. A good friend gave me a set of glass pots and I've started using them for my gel melting cause cleanup is so much easier. I have a presto for larger batches, but the glass pots are so nice to use. Sometimes you can find a stray or two at the Salvation Army store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Country Crafter Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Rubbing alchohol and window cleaner work well in removing any residue prior to washing with warm soapy water if needed. Drains do not like gel!Wendy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladysj Posted July 28, 2006 Author Share Posted July 28, 2006 Thanks Wendy I'll definitely try that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doglover Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 You can also use cleaners which emulsify the oil of the gel...such as Dawn, Joy or there is a environmentally friendly product called Basic H (Shaklee). It works great. I use it to clean all of my containers...glass and metal. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
