Can I put a 3 oz bar of zip wax directly in warmer and melt and store in warmer

Yes. Since warmer is round, I break up piece though and turn to high. Of course, keep an eye on it.

I'm not sure I'm familiar with Zip Wax. It works great for hard wax and sugar though.

I'm not certain how much 3 oz. so don't know if it would overflow the warmer or not. If you can break it into chunks and let one piece melt, then add another, that might work. Once it is melted, I definitely store the melted wax in the warmer and just add chunks as needed. My works great.

Yes. That's exactly what I did. I like Epillys wax & I just heated it up & poured it in. I really like it. The wax never gets too hot either.

You can if you want, I just put it into my hands rub it in and it melts by itself. I guess you can melt it quicker by putting it in a microwave! Hope this helps:) I use it for stretch marks and rough parts of the skin.

Sorry I don't know the actual temperature. Suffice to say that once the wax has melted on high, it is too hot to immerse your hand. Usually I would turn the temperature to medium and let it cool a little bit while still staying liquid.

Yes! I use my microwave to melt mine. I boil the jars, i pour my wax into, in a pot on the stove while the wax is melting. Always best for some reason to boil them. I think it makes a difference on how the wax cools down. Ive tried just pouring the wax straight in the jar without boiling. And the wax didnt settle right at all, as it hardened.

NO! Never put it in the microwave! This is professional wax that has to be used with the wax warmer.

You can probably heat the wax in the microwave in smaller batches and use only what you need. I wouldn't recommend leaving it on constantly since the heating element will wear out sooner. You also can start with a smaller amount of wax. I wish I had and may try your microwave idea the next time I use it. I will say that I love it and can't believe I waited so long to get it.

Probably a bar recipe. My recipe has Shea butter, unfractionated coconut oil and bees wax which are solids at room temp. Thus these are liquid when melted, pour into containers and then solidify at room temp.

Did you pour the wax into the little bucket that it comes with? It won't warm up if the wax is in the original can. You have to warm it & dump it in.

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!!

You can, but I would use Heet, the yellow bottle, it works best for hot temp and burning longer. Hope this helpsSteve

No you cant warm it in the mirowave .... it will spark cause of the metal can .... and no you cant use stips cause this type of wax is hard ..... and it should be easy to pull off ....u always have to leave a corner lifted to be able to pull off ...

i havent tryed yet...and dont think i will... i would say if you REALLY want to, put it on the lowest temp. and even then it might melt

I used a small, cheap wax heater, but without such a device you could put it on the stove in a pan with some water in it and slowly melt it that way. A small wax heater ($25) is probably worth the money because the wax needs to be reheated continually.

As there aren't any controls for the heating temperature, I wouldn't use it for melting wax for craft purposes. I'm not a crafter but I wouldn't trust it.

Yes! if you leave it in the car or in direct sun, it will melt. It won't melt completely at room temperature or in a warm room if you use something like beeswax to keep it solid, but I always tell my customers to make sure they don't leave them in the car in the summer. Or in their pocket.

I used it in a wax melt warmer, but dont add water to make it last longer. it starts to snap, crackle and pop
