Greetings,
When I purify beeswax for candle making, I run hot wax after filtering into
large (holds 25-30 lb), oval shaped, galvanized pans which I purchased long
ago from either Dadant or Kelley. The problem is that the beeswax sticks
to the pan. It contracts in the usual way upon cooling, but about 1/3 of
the beeswax remains stuck to the pan after removing most by jarring the pan
on the floor. I have tried adding water to the pan before filling and I
have tried a silicon mold release. Neither of these seem to help. I would
appreciate any suggestions to solve this problem. Thanks, Jim King
