Yesterday I had asked Satin Ducky why I was getting these scratchy marks on the top of my pillars,,WELL,,I was READING my thermometer on the CELSIUS SIDE!!!:embarasse I can not believe I did that!!! I noticed it when I went to pour some candles today!! :laugh2: I wondered why it felt way to hot,, I think it is time for a digital thermometer,,,,Just thought I would share!!!

sudsnwicks Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 I'm just relieved you're okay. At such a high temp something could have caught fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SatinDucky Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 Now I don't feel so bad about not using one. Atleast I'm not shooting for the wrong temp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustpuuppy Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 Don't feel bad. One night I turned off the presto pot and went out to dinner. Came back to find that I'd turned the knob the wrong way and I had something like 4 Lbs of wax simmering at 400 degrees. I'd turned the knob the wrong direction.:undecided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd turned the knob the wrong direction.:undecidedI did this same thing not that long ago. On big orders I add color and FO to the presto. I was in dire need of smokes so I turned off (or so I thought) the pot to run up to texico. Came home to my house filled with smoke and the nasties smell you could imagine. The next day I melted all the wax out and in the bottom of the pot was this thick black gooey shit that I had to scrape off. I ended up ruining the pesto pot. I scraped to much and all the teflon coating came with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
