When I wanted to try me on candle-making, I have this melting ladle ordered the same: it has proven to be utter bad buy right the first time! The melting the wax has long needed, that I wanted to hang up the hobby just been newly discovered immediately. Aside from the ladle is so small that the wax not even enough for a typically large candle in it.
Plastic conducts like silicone heat very poorly. Accordingly, the heat of the water bath can be transferred very slowly to the solid wax inside the ladle. The inventor of the trowel has its function either never checked or is on confidence trick from.
Those who want to melt quickly or sometimes more wax can be used for wash food cans. In large sausage cans for more than a kilo of wax takes place. The cans are heated with the wax in a double boiler. The sheet is the heat extremely well to the wax off and let it melt quickly. Who does not the box is full, you can touch it with your bare hands or just take a cleaning cloth as insulation or a pair of pliers to grip at the top, despite the heat yet. With the tongs can in the can rim before using a spout bent, so the meeting easier for the casting.
Absolutely no purchase recommendation!
