Rae Ann Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Has anyone ever weighed how much liquid wax will fit in a Presto pot? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystical_angel1219 Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 You don't want the Presto too full, its dangerous like that.At a safe level I would say no more than 5-5.5 pounds maximum.If you have a spigot on yours, you could fill it 6+ pounds. If your pouring wax out of the pot into a pouring pot, I wouldn't recommend more than 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvcandleguy Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 I dont mix anymore than 7lbs in mine. I tried 8 once, and it got a little too full for my comfort, so between 6-7 lbs you should be good to go. hth:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon in KY Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I melt about 8lbs at a time, and laddle it into a pitcher to mix color and FO. Also have one with a spigot that I have on a shelf and put the pitcher under the spigot to fill. I do not pour from the Presto Pot so don't feel 8 lbs is a problem.

joyofsoycandle Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I always put 7 pounds in mine. And used a ladle =) Always worked well for me, not too full. Just right. In my opinion =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
