Remember: Do NOT pour wax down your sink drain. Here's what we do in our CandleScience lab:
- If you have leftover wax, pour it into a paper cup until it solidifies. Then you can peel away the paper, remelt and reuse the wax at a later time.
- If you have wax to dispose of, pour the liquid wax into a coffee can or other container until it hardens. Then you can throw away the container and wax.
- When we are cleaning pots and containers in the lab, we pour out the extra wax and then wipe the container with a cloth or paper towel. This is best done while the pots and containers are still warm. Do not use soap or water - rubbing alcohol works best.
