cybersix Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Hi everyone! I have some pots with mixed left over waxes, there is palm wax, paraffin, soy wax... And it's a lot.Is there anything I can do with that? Sometimes i make firestarters but with soy and Palm it seems they don't catch up fire really well. Any idea? Thanks!

redraider Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I keep a 5 gallon bucket right under the spout of our wax melter. It catches what I spill, what drips out of the melter, and also any mess-ups get dumped into plus any residue left in our pour pots gets poured into it. Generally I fill a backet up every 6-9 months. We only use paraffin so I use this wax for firestarters, and whenever I make cintronella candles for personal use I use this wax. Why do you have left over wax?

Dolphin146 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I use nothing but soy and my firestarters work beautifully for them. Never had a problem with them not burning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueH Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I wick a metal coffee can and pour my excess wax in there. It's my "potpourri" candle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybersix Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 Hi everyone, I have a lot of left overs because of little weighing mistakes, or because a palm pillar sometimes needs a refill sometimes not.Maybe soy works right in firestarters, I found palm waxes are not so good, but maybe mixed with paraffin it will do what it should.I guess I need to try it and see!
