Title: Wax Melter - Water Jacket Style
Post by: rail on November 13, 2011, 08:58:55 PM
Where can I obtain plans, drawings or photo's of a wax melter-water jacket style?

Did my first wax melting this evening, on the stove top, wife not happy! :roll:

I just use a double boiler set up.

I will be picking up a proper wax melter next week along with a bunch of other stuff (extractor, uncapping table, bottling tanks etc.) that I got a good deal on. If it proves utile I'll take a pic.
