Greetings all, I know for our area, it is a bit late to rely on a solar wax melter, but I finally got all the materials together and the time to do it. At least it will be ready for next summer. Question is, does the inside of the melter get painted black or is it painted white? Most of the literature I have seen says it is painted black on the outside, but it all disagrees when it comes to the inside. Personally, I would think it needs to be black on the inside to absorb and hold the suns energy, but was wondering why I saw some people say white. Please advise. Feel free to contact me directly.
