How To Clean Your Presto Pot Wax Melter

by

I think the biggest downfall of DIY candlemaking or any DIY Crafts for that matter is the boring, tedious cleanup part. Lots of small batch candle makers are using the Presto melter as its the perfect dedicated candle wax pot. I remember years ago turning my mother’s electric frypan into my wax melter. She wasn’t very impressed.

This tutorial by Jeff from Standley Handcrafted will show you how to clean up your Presto Melter.

Wondering about Presto Pot Melters?

A professionally built Magic Wax Melter has a few features that make it attractive to candle-makers that are looking to expand their wax melting capacity beyond the traditional double boiler.

It has a premium non-stick surface that is easy to wipe clean with a paper towel while it is still warm. And the most attractive thing about them is that they are affordable, and as your needs grow you can scale up the number of Super Size Magic Wax Melters that you use.

With Magic Wax Melters “dial a temp” heat feature, your pot will maintain the proper temperature for which you set. We use these in our daily production of soy candles and these wax melters are work horses!
