KJohnson Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Anyone seen this kind of pour pitcher or know where to get them?ThanksKris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky_CO Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Those are actually oil cans. You can get them at some auto part stores I have seen them in farm implement stores.I have some they are okay but I like my regular pouring pitcher better. But they do hold more wax. They are kind of a pain to clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandgirl Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Other than being a pain to clean, are they better for pouring??? (I usally miss the jar a bit when I pour ... LOL):undecided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 I found them at our local auto parts store but they are $30.00 each I will stick with the 4LB pouring pot I can get for about $8.00 each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky_CO Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 I think so if I am pouring a lot I prefer them because I can really pour fast and move on to the next jar with just a little bit of clean up later.They also hold a lot more wax regular pouring pitcher hold only about 50 pourable ounces they hold more but I have found anything more that 50 oz. too much to pour with out creating a mess. The oil cans that I have will hold almost 90 oz that is pourable with out a mess. But your arm does get tired after a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Here is one place I found on-line but it has a flexible spout that may be hard to clean http://www2.northerntool.com/product/200104224_200104224.htm these oil cans are only $10.00 each.Here is another style but not in the U.S. http://www.axminster.co.uk/recno/12/product-Wesco-Oil-Pourers-and-Measures-23619.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 I noticed these are tin plate, I wonder if Pourette Candle Supply could make these, since thay make custom metal candle molds. I'm going to check with them and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Vicky,You said you have some of these, does the handle transfer heat and get to hot to handle?BTW - What does yours look like and where did you get them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vicky_CO Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Vicky,You said you have some of these, does the handle transfer heat and get to hot to handle?BTW - What does yours look like and where did you get them?Mine are the flexible ones you just showed in your picture.Yes the heat does transfer so I use a pot holder I did try taping up the handles but that didn't work as well as I would have liked. I got them locally from a supply house had to have a tax ID and prove I had a store front before they would sell to me. Yea I think I paid like $10 or $12 but I can't remember for sure it was over 2 years ago.Word of warning about the flexible ones you need to run some JB weld around the spout where the can and the flex hose meet because sometimes the heat causes them to separate. It only happened on 1 of the 8 that I do have. So I cleaned them all and used some JB weld on them and have never had a problem since. Cleaning is a pain the best way I have found to clean them is the oven but you have to make sure the spout is point slighty skyward so the wax comes out in to the can itself.

islandgirl Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Vicky, your right, those pots would make pouring large batches so much easier!!!! May have to try one...Thanks for the links Candleman!!Maybe someone will invent an attachment nozzle for our aluminum pots that we all ready have!!!

KJohnson Posted August 31, 2006 Author Share Posted August 31, 2006 My husband said that our Farm and Ranch store in our town has them. for about $12. I will check them out when I go into pick up my jars today. If they do have them...and anyone is interested I will gladly buy more and ship them to anyone that wants them for cost and shipping.Stay tuned!Kris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
