blazerina Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I did a quick search for you and am only able to tell you that '6' stands for Polystyrene (sp). It is considered a form of styrofoam. Someone more knowledgeable will have to tell you if that kind of plastic is ok for FO's and hot wax.Eta: I'm all about problem solving, so if you find that you can't use these only because they would break down under the FO... what if you coated the inside of your cups with a quick layer of plain wax? Time consuming probably- yes. But it would make them usable as the Fo would not be in contact with the cup, you could use up any cheap or old unscented wax, AND the bonus is: 'Sealed for best scent retention'- people would eat it up, lol.

CountryGal Posted December 19, 2006 Author Share Posted December 19, 2006 would they work for bath stuff? (salts, bath milk, etc.)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC on Maui Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Sounds like you'll simply have to test them.I'm guessing that anything with FO or EO in it will degrade these. JMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
