Is it safe to use a plastic pot of wax with it?

although I have not tried using plastic in it with wax I would not recommend it because if it melt the wax it would melt that plastic

I am not sure what you mean but I simply make a little aluminum foil boat to hold the wax for easy clean up afterwards.

Yes. no problem, but I don't use in plastic. I like more use Mother's Protectant 30 days of protection. Mike I love Mother's products. For exemple. I used Top Coat wonderful wax the supreme shine and protection.

The original one that comes with it is 14 oz. I would imagine you can use this size or smaller... As long as it fits in the wax pot

Simply no. Both the glass and the plastic are cheaply made. It will melt. Beware of this product in general. My finger still has not healed correctly from this glass pot breaking in my hand while I was cleaning it. Think of it as a novelty item and get a well made teapot for regular use.

Yes, you want to place the whole tin in the warmer. Only warm it on low because otherwise it will mess up the wax. Give it a try. It works great!!

no, the container is aluminum, it is designed to be heated in the wax warmer. Might explode (or at least spark) in the microwave. Best microwaveable wax (imho) is Sally Hansen Brazilian Bikini Wax, also available on Amazon.~cheers

Its in a plastic container that may not hold up in the oven. But maybe in a pot on the stove? It takes a while for the wax to melt in my low watt microwave but it is probably possible on the stove. It would be a pain though.

it can be but you have to be extremely careful, i took mine to my new place and had it safe in my car the wax was completely hard and yet still managed to get all over the place i had to get a new wax heater. so just put it somewhere safe if you have to travel with it.

I just use the plastics that I already have. I love the pan and don't want chance it. If the plastics are in the dishwasher, I might carefully flip a grilled sandwich with a metal spatula, but wouldn't scrape a metal spoon in it

I used the plastic seal that was suggested on Amazon, but I am sure a wax seal would work too

If it were me I would never consider using it with plastic. It will get hot enough to burn your hand, or plug it in and put your hand on it and see what you think.

For personal use, you can reuse the wax. Instructions are included where you use a rope, let the block of paraffin cool, lift it out and remove the detritus that gathers on the bottom. One would have to replace the wax lost in this process but it seems it wouldn't be very much -- maybe a block. (I haven't done it yet).

The answer is yes. It actually makes the plastic feel like the paint does when it is waxed. I does not hurt the plastic only enhances it.

I softened the wax slightly with a small flame (any lighter will do) then scored the wax with a razor blade. Then I snipped off the plastic with some wire cutters. You can also reattach broken off pieces by "melting" them back on.

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

I put it in a throw away tin and heat it. You can use a microwave just make sure you check the temperature of the wax before you slap it on your skin so you don't get burned

I leave the wax in and reuse it. Just plug it in a few hours ahead and it should be fine.
