How do u place the wax block on the string? No details included and Im a novice...I imagine u thread the loop in the thread through the hole in the wax block? Kinda lame that there is no directions or safety instructions. How do u place the wax block on the string?

the block has a hole. lantern has metal wire at base. these work good in low winds

It's very self-explanatory once you take the lantern out of the package. The metal frame at the bottom has a little wire clip that you place the wax block onto. There are instructions, in Chinese on the package.

The wax block sits on top of wire in the lantern. Push loops through wax block.

This is correct...place the hoop that is pointing up through the block and it will stay...

The wax block has a hole in the center of it. Take the wire loop sticking up from the center of the lantern and poke it through the wax hole. The bend over the excess wire to hold the wax block in place.

Please, it's just a string! Take a new piece of string a few inches long, tie a loop in both ends, slip out the original string (it's not permanently attached... it loosens very easily, no cuts needed), and loop your extension piece onto either end (exactly the same way the original string is looped around and threaded through the attachment point). Be an example to your kids (like Catherine) by having a positive attitude about solving simple problems resourcefully.

Why couldn't you put a candle inside it? I don't see why one couldn't use it with a tiny fire inside and melt scented wax in the tiny pot, why would that be a fire hazard?

You have to get a wax tin to put in the warmer. Do not put wax directly into the warmer

Look up stringing a horsebow on yt. I use the step over method. It's hard as hell to string. You better be 1 strong mofo lol.

I did invest in the little Parissa wax warmer and I love it. It heats the wax evenly within 30 minutes, and it brings the wax to the right consistency. I have used the little pan of wax placed in another pan over low heat, but I found it gets messy and I got wax in the other pan. Much easier to do the wax warmer. So convenient. Good luck!

It's easy...after you get used to it. You pull a tiny strand of hair away from all the others, underneath the top layer of hair. You put a loop / bead on the "crochet needle" then you pull the tiny strand of hair through the loop/bead with the crochet needle. Then, you put the "shoestring" end of the hair/feather into the loop/bead with the hair. Then, finally, you squeeze the bead together to smash it to hold the hair piece into place. Hope that makes sense. You may be able to google it or find a youtube video. Thanks!

Yes, you must thread it yourself the old fashioned way! I have three sergers, an Elna and two brothers and I have never seen a conventional needle threader on a serger. It's probably because it would be difficult or impossible to make one that would thread two needles next to each other. There are some sergers, (high end Brothers, I think) that claim to thread themselves using some kind of air puff system, or something, but I've never seen one in action and I don't know if even they thread the needles, or just the loopers. This is a very nice serger by the way, and I use it in preference to my higher end Elna all the time.

I broke up the wax and put it in the container and plugged it in on high. I had no instructions either that I can recall. I was perplexed by the oval plastic piece and someone told me it goes on the bottom under the wax. I didn't use the gloves at all. Once melted the first time it seems to melt much quicker. I suppose I will drop the plastic in when I melt it again.

A million apologies, I completely forgot to answer this. The instruction I used that worked for me are from the website: Threads. It's a 2-part tutorial. Here is the first part: http://www.threadsmagazine.com/item/3744/mastering-the-narrow-hemmer-part-one

Hi Donald, I've been sorta waiting for someone else to answer this one but since no one has... here is my take on it. I'd wrap it around a long nail or spike much the same way you would put it on a spool. My nail or wrap area would be no longer than ~5 3/4". I'd then tuck the cord into itself on one end and stuff it in my pouch, nail and all. Never hurts to have another tool around. ; - ) I have seen some videos on how to wrap cord in a way that holds it together well but also allows for quick and easy unraveling in an urgent situation. You may want to YouTube that as I'm not allowed to put outside links in this note. I hope someone gives you a better answer... but that's what I'd do since we don't have a better one yet. All the Best, Bill... TOUGH-GRID UPDATE: You're welcome Don! When you search YouTube, use the term "paracord deployment lanyard" I think you'll like the videos you find there. Bill... TOUGH-GRID

I'm trying that this year as well. I have a bunch of hardwood logs that are in good shape and I purchased Red Cheese wax. This weekend, I will be drilling the holes, inserting the plugs and covering the holes up with the wax. A pretty ribbon will finish it off. I received limited directions with the plugs.

Hi, I wanted to crochet with it too, but it is like a strong thread rather than cotton yarn. It has a sheen on it like a waxed thread. I didn't end up using it to crochet, but kept it because of their return policy.

You actually guide the wire how you want it cut. I made a pattern, drew the pattern on the Styrofoam and didn't have any issues. Hope this helps. Just another tip...don't tighten down the wire too tight then try to force the cut. Speaking from experience!

It is a little tricky. It is most easily performed with the pole completely collapsed. I screw the base on from the bottom, holding the pole above with the other hand. Getting the threads to match up may take several attempts. I can usually get it on no problem, although there have been a few occasions where i timed out on my frustration limit and had to come back to it O.o My girlfriend has much difficulty attaching it. As for mine, there is no error in manufacture, rather, just a tricky connection. Assuming your threads have been properly machined, you should be able to get it with some practice.

Bend the loop of wire up and push it through the hole in the wax square.There's directions on the pack, but written by bad translator....LoL
