Step 1: First prepair a working area. Unless you have a dedicated wax storage location, you should lay newspapers, wax paper, towels, and rags on the floor of the work area. Also prepare some warm soapy water to clean up immediately when the wax overflows.
Step 2: Place a boiling pot in place, just like when cooking. You cannot directly place wax on a heat source. It must slowly melt, otherwise it can easily catch fire or evaporate. Fill a large pot or kettle with half full water, and place the small pot or kettle on top of the large pot. You will melt wax in a small pot. Remember that wax is difficult to clean, so you can purchase a cheap and safe heat transfer pot as a special pot for making candles.
Step 3: Cut the wax into small pieces or plane it into pieces. The smaller the wax block, the better it melts, and you can also ensure that the wax melts at a consistent rate.
Step 4: Put the wax fragments into a smaller pot. Adjust the temperature of the heater to 120 degrees melt the wax. When melting, you should keep stiring wax in pot let it melt quickly.
