SparkysCandles Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 For me... if it's pillar wax I immediately pour excess wax in to tart molds. If it's container I pour it in to a pie pan lined with aluminum foil, let .it cool and peel from foil. Then I put that in a ziploc bag. On the bag I write the wax type, FO and from what company, amount of dye if any, pouring temp, additives f any, and put it in a storage tub. I am a very organized and clean chandler....

EnvyCandles Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I normally measure pretty well for what I am pouring. I do have many many pour pots though, and will leave the wax in the pour pots. I do not like reheating wax that FO in it though. If it is unscented and just melted/dyed wax, I will leave it right in the pot. Any little tid bits of left over wax (again, there usually is not much left over) I keep in a container and use for firestarters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithfulScenter Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I do pretty much the same as Envy. I measure out as close to what I need as I can, If I do accidentally pour too much, I pour it into my excess container. Before I started doing the firestarters, I would pour into into tart molds and use them in my tart burner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacktieaffair Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I'm with Faithful, I pretty much pour accurately, but sometimes I'll get some left over and I use it for either the firestarters or just melts for me ( OR I'll make grab bags of various scents )When I'm doing my TPs is when I usually have some left over and I use it for melts most times ( for me )I always have left over wax when I dip pine cones, and it goes for the firestarters.

KrazeKelly Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I pour it in my wax melters. I usually don't have much left over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
