The wax is great to moisturize your pup's paws- whether hot or cold- but- any living creature can not be protected from hot asphalt without a physical barrier (shoes, booties, etc.). Asphalt can get to over 120 degrees- of course it will need booties, just as we would need shoes with our bare feet (even if we had calluses. The wax is great to keep the pads supple and moisturized (as our hands, feet, skin, lips needs moisturizing in the heat). I stopped using the wax when we went to the beach for a month, but the sand wasn't hot. The sand actually was like going to the spa for my pups and their pads were never smoother. I would still use the wax if my pups were in HOT ground conditions to supplement their pads' condition, but I would also find a good physical barrier to protect from the actual heat. It's like- would the wax work if I put my pup's paw on a hot burner or in the oven... (said with respect). Hot is hot. We use 'hot pads' to take things out of the oven... no wax would ever protect our hands... but I would still use a moisturizer on my hands to keep them supple and not drying out or cracking from the heat in general. Think about how chapstick works.... our lips get hot, but they don't crack or bleed because we MOISTURIZE them.

I have a working service dog - I purchased this for his feel to protect him from the California summer heat. Please do not both buying this. If you looked at the reviews it seems to be best for winter. I invested in boots for my boy after his exp. with this stuff.. It's lousy. I only used a little bit - wiped off any access and his feet burned like crazy - He was crying the asphalt was so hot on his paws.. Took him into Costco and he was slipping and sliding all over the place and again, I used it very sparingly and wiped after..

You shouldn't have to heat this at all; in fact, I would never recommend it. The wax should have been the consistency of fresh shoe polish. You should never have to do more than rub an applicator across it to get a nice, smooth paste. You seem to have received old stock; notify Amazon and the seller, and see what they can do about it. This stuff is wonderful to work with and a snap to use. You just didn't get what you paid for.

I'm not an expert, but the high temperature should deter any bacteria. Just wash your hands/feet thoroughly before using. I can't see any bacteria being able to grow when the wax is solid and cool.

This product is meant to be used with a wax warmer like the ones made by Gigi. This is really the safest way to melt the wax and to get the best use out of this product.

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.

They make a cleaner wax and a straight wax. I thinks this is the straight wax. It has no grit. I would think it is totally safe.

I'm sorry. I'm not able to answer your question. I bought this as a Christmas gift and the individual hasn't been able to use it yet because his vehicle was recently painted due to an accident. It was recommended that he not use a wax for 6-8 weeks.

Yes. I use it to keep mold from forming on my 25 foot sail boat. But it does generate heat so you will need to take that into consideration.

The Purpose is to ease pain in hands or for moisture. Either works the same. It takes about 3 to 4 hrs. To fully melt at highest heat setting. Then cool it back to you max comfort level. Try 3 clicks from left. It should feel hot, but never burn you. Wash your hands, then put on a really good hand cream. Dip each hand in and out 4 times to build up a layer. Quickly put plastic gloves or bags on, then into mitts. Helps if you have someone do this covering for you. Sit, relax enjoy. I reuse my wax over and over even though technically not recommended. Reheat wax to melt back in.

I would not recommend applying any wax in full sun on a hot day. 3M is the best spay wax I have ever used, & I use it in a shaded area.

Can I be honest.... Yes it will protect your trailer from UV, but the UV will destroy the cover. Living here in the California Central Coast we have a mild climate with lots of sunshine. I can expect to get about 2 years service out of this cover before it has to be replaced. I'm ok with that - because I want my trailer to last and look sharp. Keep your trailer clean - waxed - covered and it will give you years of enjoyment. Replacing the cover every few years is worth saving my investment. Enjoy - camp on!

If you follow the instructions provided with the product, a wax build-up should not occur. I've been using this for over a year and have no complaints so far.

No, the wax container is made of metal, might explode. In case you decide to proceed with using microwave for heating of this wax anyway, please record video of the process and post it on the product page ;)

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.

I wouldn't, because it's in a plastic container, and the plastic will melt. I would recommend getting a hard wax warmer.

Hello this could be a form of that product, but not the same no. I use is at after a wax and polish on a Harley or Vehicle and after that as a maintainer and the product is Amazing... I would think it might have a low amount of that product in it.

asphalt. I have used this product on my 20 year old Mobil home which has an alumiumn roof. I never could spell that word. When you place it on the roof, it stays there. I highly recommend this product.
