My level has dropped to a point more parrafin needs to be added. It does not need to be cleaned. May I had beads to the hot wax or do I need to cool i

I have added parrafin directly to the hot wax every time it needs to be added and never had a problem. The new parrafin will melt much more quickly in the hot wax.

It will help. Without waxing the string just burns. If you didnt wax you still can just use a lighter to melt some of the surface.

You want to make sure you add the dye at 185 F or it will not dissolve completely. You may also be adding to much dye. You'll want to stir several minutes to make sure it is mixed in completely, it's best to do this before you add fragrance in case you need to reheat the wax.

I periodically empty and clean mine. I pour the old wax into a coffee can or something while still warm and liquid. I wipe it out with paper towels and then let it cool completely. It is easy to remove any left over wax when cold and just wipe it all down with warm soapy water, then a clean wet cloth. I do not submerse the unit in water ever!

i don't think so...my best way to remove wax i with a clean rag and an iron. keep moving the rag to a clean area as the wax melts onto it. you'll have to dump the rag and sometimes scrub the iron surface for residue.

I put mine in after the wax was melted so it was not sitting on the heating element. Not sure it matters but that is what I did with mine.

Maybe it possibly has been sitting forever and there is a big chunk in the bottom not breaking up with shaking. You could try using a long screw driver and stirring it to check. If not send it back. I recommend meguiar's NXT Tech Wax 2.0

Very difficult to do if you did not liberally apply the wax beforehand. You can try buying another can, or get some APC (all purpose cleaner) dilluted at 1:3. I used Wolf's APC and elbow grease to remove over spray.

Hi Karen, I have my Paraffin Wax for a long time. I have NOT heard about Paraffin Wax and Bacteria.I use it more in the Wintertime for my wrist it got broken when I fell. I keep the Wax covered in my Bathroom. If I ever hear anything about it I will put it on Line. Sorry, I can't be more help. Regina

The wax? Not at all. Just be sure to warm it up with your fingers (body heat) before applying. Also, make sure to brush in thoroughly.

No you have to use a special wax, theirs. I just gave mine away as took forever to warm the wax...onto the next brand.

I bought a different brand like this and I did soak the strip in hot water and the wax came off really good. I only used about 10 strip for the entire jar of wax as I washed the other strips many times. That is so much better than the old methods.

You can use it with lose wax, but then again, it has to be hot for you to clean it. I just put the container in it, and it heats up. no need to do anything else.

If it were me - and an all wood floor, I would clean it with Murphy's Soap (read and follow instructions to the "T") and after a complete dying period, use Johnson's paste wax. Lots of work, but the buffer will also scrub. When you lay the wax down, do in in light, even, coats and let it dry - buff with bristle brush first and then lambs wool. You may need to do a couple of coats...best of luck.

I used my own wax and everything seemed okay. I think you should be fine I used my own wax cause I didn't really like the finish the 3m left. I wanted a better shine.

I just put the wax directly in the machine. I've read that others use a container, but didn't use/need one.

It's not safe to leave it on all of the time. I imagine it could be a fire hazard or the plastic could melt. The wax can turn into a solid when it is turned off and be reheated when turned on to be reused whenever you like. There is no reason to leave it on.
