Can I pre melt the wax in the microwave and then add it to the bath until correct temp is achieved? Wouldnt that save 60-90 minutes?

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

I have not tried melting wax in the microwave, I'm not sure if it works, or damages the wax. Sorry, not sure if that would work.

You can, but, like another person mentioned, it is not safe to move scalding hot wax around without extreme caution.

i don't see why not but it seems like a lot of extra trouble to me. You also might get the wax too hot and that would be a big problem. I recommend you just plan ahead and not risk messing with melted wax that could be potentially dangerous.

If the wax is really thick then it needs more time. I find when I start to melt the wax, I turn the wax warmer onto high and then lower it when ready to use. Make sure you blow on the wax and that it is not too hot. I hope this helps.

I've used Dishwasher Magic 4-5 times now and have never had a problem with the wax not melting. As the instructions on the bottle state, you need to run it at the hottest cycle and run your kitchen faucet until hot water runs out prior to starting the dishwasher. If you do that you'll have hot enough water for the wax to melt, unless your water heater is malfunctioning or someone turned down the temp on it. I just ordered 3 more 3-packs of this stuff - it's great!

Dear Customer,Thanks for your question from Bellehome.it takes about 40 minutes for heating the wax.and you can adjust the temperature.Normally we advise that you'd better cut the wax into pieces for fast heating.Hope above information is helpful for you,ThanksBest RegardsYoursBellehome Customer Service

Cut into small pieces then place in a micro wave safe container( I use a pyrex measuring cup). Microwave 1-2 minutes depending on how much you're doing. Next put in a bar soap mold. It will take it about 2 hours to set, Unmold & use

hi Katy - No! Never put wax directly on the heat! It is too volatile, and can catch fire that way. Recommended - either get a double boiler, or use an available adapter to make an existing pot the bottom part. Also recommended - candle-making thermometer to make sure your temps are okay, and a beginning candle-making book.

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 ;)

I Brazilian wax which uses considerable amount of wax per time and am only half way thru the container. Guessing I've done it 7-10 times so far. So I've been very satisfied. The higher quality and steady temperature of the warmer keeps wax better and you really find that you'll use thinner layers than going thru the re-microwaving process of small jars from cvs or wherever else. I do recommend sally brand pre-epilation and post calming oils. I didn't find the lotion that came with this to be as satisfying. I had plenty of the oils left from small sally jar wax kit. not sure if you can buy the oils individually since I haven't needed to yet.

I have never tested the temp but once the wax is melted it remains hot until it is turned off. It takes approximately 4 hours to melt all the wax.

I think there are instructions on the package but I put it in a plastic bowl and microwaved it for 30 seconds on high, stirred it and repeated until it was melted. Cleanup was easy since it is soap. You could probably also do it on a stove but I'm not sure of the timing.

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.

We used this for our Heath & Wellness fair and I plugged it in with brand new 'block' wax at 9am for our 11am fair. At 11:00am the wax was only partially melted. It wasn't completely melted until about 1:00pm. When reheating and refilling I've switched to wax 'beads' as they seem to clump less and take less time to melt completely.

I wouldn't recommend this technique -- but I have done this. My advice (if you absolutely must microwave): Dice the butter. Heat in 10 sec* increments until soft (not melted). The butter will become more spreadable and easier to pack into your butter crock! *microwave oven times vary

if the granules are still little beads it might take 4 hours but after the first use then the next use the wax melts much faster since it removes all the air.

This particular container cannot be used in the microwave. You will need to buy a warmer. I actually prefer this method versus putting in the microwave as it better regulates the temperature of the wax and can avoid burning.

This is a melt and pour soap base. Very east to use. You can melt in microwave 20-30 second increments, add fragrances and/or other additives, and pour into your molds. Sets up within a couple hours, depending on size of molds. Can also use a double boiler. Careful of over heating, it may affect lathering properties, and hot soap base can cause burns. Heed warnings on the package. This soap base is one of my favorites!

Yes, all that you have to do is melt in the microwave, add fragrance and color and pour into your molds. I like to use flexible molds as when the soap hardens it is hard to get out of rigid molds. This makes great gifts. Enjoy! PS I wrap the soaps in clear plastic wrap and tie with ribbons.
