izzy2 Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 I was melting some wax today and noticed it had some dirt flecks in it (guess I forgot to cover the wax when I stored it). :embarasse Is there a way to get this out of it?

Candle Man Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Yes you can...Melt wax then get a fine mesh metal screen kitchen strainer (see pic. below), line the strainer with a paper towel, place strainer over an empty pouring pot, pour melted wax into pot, the paper towel will catch every speck.

Scented Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Out line the top of your pour pot with cheese cloth and strain through it. You can strain through just a straight paper towel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherl Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 I've strained thru paper towels and coffee filters.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
