I am looking for the tubs form the sample kit (or equivilent). I love vintage but I hate carrying that giant tub around. I would like something I can put a few oz inso i dont have to lug that whole thing out. Plus if i dont have to lug it arounf there is less chance of me dropping it. whic would suck. So if anyone can help me out on a place that sell them I would be very thankfull thanks for the info

mike.i noticed in your link in US plastic carries the jars..if you have time look at the ones from specialty bottles as well..the smaller ones look to be perfect for what your looking for.......... the jars are plastic too that'll give peace of mind in case you drop'em Clear PET Plastic Jars (Low Profile Round) Clear PET Round 2oz Plastic Jar w/ White Dome Lid - 58 White Dome

your welcome Mike...the 2oz sampler jars look nice..if not you can order a few 4oz jars as well pS..mike i seen a few cool tins as well..they also come with a clear top Clear Top Tin Containers - Specialty Bottle
those are col tins joe, i thin im going to have so spend some time looking around and carlos, let me try them first ... i might just like them
well shit.. thats 100% wax... im gettig 2k worth :thud: haha i really need to ook through this site, jeeze, liik like there is some good stuff.. but first more :coffee:
hey calgary, and I guess anyone else thats ever done it, whats the best way to transfer a portion of a paste wax into another container? I tried scraping some off the top of a jar one time and put it in a little plastic container, but it didnt turn out too well... Do you heat it or something like that?
I normaly take a spoon, scoop out as large of a chunk as i can get so it dosent fall apart... I place it inthe new tub.. do this until the thing is filled. I then give it a good shake. I find the shake helps the wax stick togher. This method is far from perfect, iam still trying to find the best method, but so far this has served its purpose
A couple of things to try as well. Heat the spoon with hot water. The effect is like that of a heated ice cream scoop in an ice cream container. Also, try a plastic putty knife to scrape off a thin layer. As previously stated, the shaking does work. Also, try sitting the container in very hot water for a while. Submerged if possible.
