As far as melting the candles yes the can and my big pot are dedicated to it but it never fails that during the course of things a bit of wax will get into a pot and then you get this odd film on things. My best suggestion is 1. If you can use pots that you don't mind taking steel wool that helps. Also, getting to the pot before it is completely cool. 2. For molded items (like molded candles, shaped crayons, etc) I suggest spraying your pan down with oil. This will help prevent things sticking to the pan allowing for easier clean up and for the molds itself to release. The same idea goes for if you cut out wax with cookie cutters you'll want them to be sprayed down. <br />When possible I try to dedicate or make a liner for things just to be on the safe side. <br />If you do like I suggest in this and line a pan with wax paper your wax will come up but don't be surprised if you get a waxy film on the paper too! My pans are pretty old and I always line them with foil to cook with so I'm not worried about it but if you are then you might want to line the pans with something like foil instead.<br />I hope that helps a little.Lady Pathoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01886954531671968914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1385251528571299566.post-15967725080625475922013-02-09T11:20:12.323-08:002013-02-09T11:20:12.323-08:00I'm curious if the pans you use are ONLY for t...I'm curious if the pans you use are ONLY for the candle making? I tried melting crayons in muffin tins for a homemade fire starter project a few years ago and it ruined the muffin tins. Wondering if I did something wrong or should have just planned on that? I like your heart candles!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08993104398196469720noreply@blogger.com
