e911 Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Bah! ya know, when you go to the store and buy an innocent looking digital thermometer that appears to fit your needs, then when you open it, you find out the battery is dead.So after trekking around to find the right sized battery, you get all excited to make your first batch of tarts!But alas, the imported product from a far away land, refuses to work. It shows 3 L's on the screen, even after several minutes in boiling water, it still will not register a temp.So I have a half melted batch of wax in my pour container and can't pour it CURSES YOU PESKY THERMOMETER!!:mad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted something that was easier to read but it looks like the old tried n true candy thermometer's are gonna be the way to go... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallTayl Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 I have one like this and love it. I get distracted and forget to check the temps in the melters sometimes (well every day). This one can be set to beeeeeeeep when I'm at the bottom of a desired temp range. The timer is handy too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChandlerWicks Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I ordered mine from eBay. I think 2 for $30.00 free shipping. One had the L's like yours & they replaced it immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
