JMCintosh Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I am new to making lip balm, using a recipe I found on here. However, I am still finding out about the double pour. So that I don't waste my ingredient or tubes, can I remelt them in the microwave and re-pour them while they are in the tubes? I really cant afford to be wasting. If not, any sugestions?

Casey Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I zap the tops of mine with a heat gun sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheQueen Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I agree, zap the top with a heatgun. If you must melt and repour, push the stick of balm up as far as it will go, cut it off, melt and repour into the tube. That would be the extreme solution. Double pour is a pain in the hiney but ya gotta do it sometimes. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
