new glue pot -- a chocolate melter in its normal life
|
The old glue pot is dying, and had to be replaced before I could finish this veneering project.
The new one is a Wilton chocolate melting pot, which I've equipped with a cover made from a plastic coffee can top mated to a vacuum cleaner fan impeller and an old wooden knob, with a candy thermometer through the top. Seems to hold temperature in the 140-150 degree F range very nicely. The non-stick inner pan lifts out, and should be much easier to clean up. Cost is about one quarter of that for the made-for-purpose glue pots.
