thought about using glass pyrex but read that cleanup is tricky because the wax hardens so quickly. What is cleanup like with this?

I just use paper towels to clean up the pitcher. I do make sure it's not too hot. So be careful!

I used one strip and the strip were not the issue it was the wax. You don't wash the strip they are disposable!!

This is not a good idea for a stove top or a hot plate, you should use a stand wire grid with flame for heat adjustment for this glass wear. Reason I say that is heat absorption for the surface may not be sufficient to keep it from cracking the Corning Pyrex base.. If you do you better test it with water with salt and keep an eye on it. Be ready to shut it down if it cracks.

The heating function did now work for us using mineral oil - it does not seem to flow well enough. We were hoping to use it to clean the wax off 3D printed parts. So now we use a crock-pot with mineral oil to clean the bulk of the wax and then soapy water in the ultrasonic cleaner to clean off the remaining residue.

If your wax be warm enough , it shall be removed w the Wax paper easily and for small sport that is left alone you put oil.Does nt have to be fancy type, yr normal olive oil even canola oil shall work and then wash yrself w hot water ( no soap till 24 hr after )

I think it depends on what kind of glass it is. Something like pyrex would be OK, but fragile glass - maybe not so much.

I bought a different brand like this and I did soak the strip in hot water and the wax came off really good. I only used about 10 strip for the entire jar of wax as I washed the other strips many times. That is so much better than the old methods.

The wax is crystal clear when it's melted. Reusing it would contaminate the clean wax with sweat and dead skin cells. Not hygienic.

We use ours on the gas stove every morning, it's made for that. Borosilicate glass is what pyrex is made of.

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.

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.

I do it in an old cup in the microwave and keep a supply of wooden spatulas to apply it - one minute to start with on High and then perhaps another 30 seconds if it is not quite ready to apply - and take care, because it is quite hot so do a test on your hand. Don't heat too much at one time - a tablespoon of beads goes a long way. A proper wax melting pot is best if you can run to that but I find it convenient to do it this way.

I really don't think it's sanitary to re-use any wax. I wouldn't want to go to somebody recycling wax.

I've used aluminum and tin. Both need to be hand washed and dryed. Glass doen't take as long to bake. I didn't like the strips. If the oven is the right temp I have not had any problems no matter what pan I use. I don't think you would have 2 use them on glass cause of the thickness of the dish and the lower temp. hope it helps.

It seems to work best with darker cookware - I have used pyrex with no problems. Reflective shiny metals like aluminum might take a bit longer. The Sun Oven can be very forgiving!

Sorry. but am totally clueless re: dying, etc glass of any sort. I use Glass Wax to keep automobile glass clean and grime-resistant.
