Cleaning Wax
The easiest way to clean the wax is by using a solar wax melter
This process takes approximately 4 hours
The weather must be at least 80 and sunny
Below is link to a step-by-step guild to show you how to set up a wax melter
Use wax for candles or for hand cream
Hand cream
2/3 oil to 1/3 wax
Heat up two cups of oil (off the shelf corn oil works great)
Pour the hot oil into a glass container
Drop one cup of wax into the hot oil until melted
