Title: Stainless Steel Jug Post by: Honey on January 07, 2011, 09:36:03 PM Nisbets have a sale on right now plus free delivery - Santa brought me a candle making kit but I've no way of melting the way so found a stainless steel jug. They have a 2 pint one and a 4 pint one.. which is better to get do you think?
Could be used for soaping too maybe? Title: Re: Stainless Steel Jug Post by: polly on January 07, 2011, 09:38:39 PM When I make candles, I just use the bain marie method using a pryex jug.
Off to have a proper nosey at Nisbets and hopefully spend some money though Title: Re: Stainless Steel Jug Post by: Honey on January 07, 2011, 10:48:46 PM They sadly don't have the very deep stainless steel bowls they used to or I'd get more of them. Plus their SB's are too expensive.

I would be tempted to get the bigger one maybe? Depends if you think you are going to get into candle making & make a lot of them. I used a stainless steel bowl to melt the wax in when I used my kit (one I normally use to make body butters). Soy wax is easy to clean.
