OSuzyQ Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Hi and welcome. Some people here use roasters. They are kind of slow to melt wax, but holds quit a bit of wax, from what I've read. Lots sof us use the Presto Pot. Melts fast, holds less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glowlite Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 I use the roater a couple of times. When I need it for big orders or somthing I definitly like the pretos better though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siberia Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 I use a roaster for soy and Prestos for all other wax types. I need the precision of temperature control that the Presto has for palm and paraffin wax jobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxie Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 I use the roasters. You can get them at wal-mart for around $28. I just turn them on first thing in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breanna Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Prestos are great and only 20.00 @ walmart, but roasters do hold more,,,I use my roaster to put my dipping vat in to keep it hot. But I may have to try it once for wax,,,it defiantly would hold more wax. But I like the spigot I have on my presto,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
