Being a candle maker myself, I set out to make the BEST wax melter possible, with the BEST service on Amazon. Have questions about how to use it? I respond fast and with detailed instructions :) The spout is mechanically secured and sealed with high temperature epoxy. When looking for melters, be sure that your spout is mechanically secured! This type of securing is sure to be long lasting and provide you the reliability you need. Works with soy, coconut, paraffin waxes and more - 100% brass fittings - 10lbs of Soy 464 Wax melted. Weight will vary depending on wax. - Melts a full batch of wax quickly and evenly - No mess! Cleans easily, non-stick coating - Temperature ranges from WARM (about 160) to 400 - Size is 5 qts.
