Is it okay that my wax is hard when it I open the tin? Do you just place this whole tin in the warmer?

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!!
1052247
Yes, it is solid until you heat it. Just remove the lid and place in the warmer. Be careful not to turn it too far up, this wax has a lower melting point.
1052248
Yes, it's hard and takes about an hour to soften. Yes, just put the whole can in the warmer!

Yes the wax is hard in the can. Most warmers are made with a removable pot that you can replace with a can of wax or just drop a can in. Be careful when using cirepil not overheat the wax. It will become brittle and crack when removed.

Hi!, yes its ok to have the wax hard, you would want to place the whole tin on the wax warmer to warm up the wax. After its warm you should be good to go. Its amazing! i hope you like it. ��

The pot of wax that sits inside the warmer is removable and you just buy a new container of wax to refill.... If you ever run out. It's a lot of wax.

It is eassy to use,take everything out including plastic bags, after everything is out place, the little rack on the bottom ,of the container and place some of the wax in .On mine I let it warm up until everything has melted ,after I low the temperature,before I place my hand in the wax I try the temperature and if it right I introduce my hand in ,turning and submerging it several times until is well cover ,you can do one hand first and after the other hand ,use a timer and set the timer for 15 minutes

Depending on size of glass container and heat of bee's wax you can use a hot glue gun to tack down the wick. I'm assuming the candle will remain in glass container when lit. Otherwise you're stuck with metal tab. I don't recommend using any wick with an internal wire stiffener as the metal vapors go into the air. Okay for large open areas; not so good for small rooms. Hope this helps, a craft shop might have more ideas.

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.

I haven't had to clean mine yet. I was just looking at it to see how hard it looks to clean. I think that once the wax gets a little lower I will just remove the wax when it is semi-hard. I think it will peel away from the plastic easily. I had spilled some wax on the sides before and it peeled right off the sides.

No, it's a much harder wax. It really feels like plastic. Slightly pliable but sturdy.

The warmer is great. The wax is crap. I wouldn't use that wax on any part of my body. If you need to cause you're in a pinch, definitely use strips. THIS IS NOY HARD WAX.

I use the other GiGi waxes with a little warmer made for candles. It is just a warming base and it fits the bottom of the tin jar perfectly. They have them at walmart. It looks like a little warming disk for coffee mugs. I've seen them sold for office/desk use. Going to get the warmer this week only b/c I want it all contained and it will probably heat up much faster. Only used it this way b/c I wasn't sure I would want to continue after my first time. Bought it, got it home and realized I needed a good way to keep it warm while working with it. If you have a walmart, go try one, it sells for less than 5.00.

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.

You initially lit the wick when it was too close to the wax.... Next time don't put as much wax.... Make sure the wick is about 1/2 inch I believe above the wax when you light it.

Hello can you recommend what type of wax warmer to use for this type of wax?
1240303
You can use whatever wax you'd like, however if you're going to put the wax either straight into the warmer or put the plastic container into the warmer, I WOULD NOT recommend this. The plastic WILL melt. If you have some way to maybe put it into a tin and then into the warmer, you'll be alright.

If you mean the metal looking cup, that is where you place the wax tub. You do not place the wax directly in the warmer. Once the wax cools you can remove the tub and place the lid back on the wax.Hopefully this is the info you were looking for.

I used my own wax and everything seemed okay. I think you should be fine I used my own wax cause I didn't really like the finish the 3m left. I wanted a better shine.

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!
