Uses for Paraffin Wax

RE: Uses for Paraffin Wax Post By Lorien (Guest Post) (06/22/2008) Jake - I totally relate, as I just bought out 5 lb.s of paraffin wax because it was being discontinued at the store and was on mega-sale. It says people use it in canning, and this season I plan on canning more of my veggies from the garden. I intend to explore this further. Everyone's advice is very helpful! Thanks!

Then mix in 40g of sugar, and 60g of potassium nitrate into the melted wax. Pour onto foil, wrap, mold to shape, add a fuse, ignite, and poof you have a fun smoke bomb for the forth of July! :) Report Spam or Abuse Paraffin is poison Post By Parafin wax is poison (Guest Post) (11/27/2007) Do not use large amounts of paraffin in your chocolate. Paraffin can cause intestinal blockage and this is known as Paraffin poisoning. Intestinal blockage caused by eating too much paraffin can cause infection and death. Treatment may require surgery. The less poison you put in your body the better.

You can give something in chocolate to someone this christmas! :D Report Spam or Abuse RE: Uses for Paraffin Wax Post By katie (Guest Post) (11/03/2006) hi im a beauty student and we use paraffin wax for hand and facial treatment. just dip your hands in the melted wax and wrap your hands in plastic bags with towels around them to keep the heat in for 15 minutes and then peel off and you can re use when ever its good for circulation and keeps your hands soft katie x Report Spam or Abuse RE: Uses for Paraffin Wax Post by ThriftyFun (3739) | (11/21/2005) Profile | Blog! | Contact Usually much less paraffin than that is used in candy making. I'd use 1 Tbsp. (grated) at the most for 1 bag of chocolate chips. It helps the chcolate set and gives it a shine. I don't think eating a lot of paraffin is good for you. After looking at several recipes, I've seen several that use that much paraffin, some of them just dip the candy in heated parafin to give it a coating. Here's a link about paraffin as a coating with some warnings: http://www.sugarcraft.com/catalog/candies/choc-help.htm Susan from ThriftyFun Report Spam or Abuse candy Post By susie (Guest Post) (11/20/2005) I melt 1 large bag of toll house chips and 1 1 bar of parafin to dip my chocolate, will it hurt you to eat that much parafin?

Works well on wood and metal. Saves wear on your drawers. Would probably even work on sliding closet doors as well.

But my FAVORITE use is making "Buckeyes". They are a chocolate covered peanut butter candy that looks like a buckeye (from the tree). These are always a favorite with family and friends.

Also add small amounts of parafin to melted chocolate to make it smooth and shiny for coating, dipping strawberries etc. But my best advice Jake, don't buy stuff at garage sales you have no use for!

Cheap Fire Starters During this cold period of the year, fire starters for your fireplace can be made by taking a paper egg carton (not the Styrofoam kind), your dryer lint and some paraffin wax. Put lint balls in the egg carton cup, pour melted paraffin wax over them. When wax has hardened, you can then cut each cup apart and use to start your fires. Works great for campfires also. This is a trick we learned from the Boy Scouts. Melinda Report Spam or Abuse
