Double boiler wax melter

<< < (4/4)

Lesgold:
Ran my first wet cappings through the melter today. Loaded the melter with cappings

amd added more when they reduced down. Left them to melt slowly over 24 hours. Cooking honey was drained from the lower tap and wax from the upper tap.

The remaining slum gum/ wax mixture was pushed down with a specially made strainer and water was added. The remaining wax will be drawn off tomorrow morning. This has been a real time saver with the bonus of some cooking honey as well.

Occam:
That wax is looking very nice, in glad it's working for you the way you hoped
