Can this product be reheated? Is this a pull off wax or are strips needed??

Yes you can reheat. I usually get 3-4 uses out of this size container. No you don't need strips. The wax cools and you pull it off :)

This wax is pretty awesome. You just reheat in the microwave in the original container. No strips needed, though you need some spatula/sticks for application. I'd recommend their pre-epilation oil too, otherwise it can get messy with leftover wax

I would not recommend that you pour wax directly into this warmer. I would suggest you purchase a can of wax that normally is used with this warmer and when that can is empty you could refill the can. Hope that helps.

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.

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

Definitely pull the wax off when it is still slightly warm and still pliable. If you let it cool off to when it is no longer warm to the touch, it will break into pieces and then you will have a story to tell you wish you didn't know.

It goes from room temp (about 25C) to 66C to melt all the wax. Then you need to reset it for a comfortable temperature (51-54C). It does go up in increments of 1C, but you can only set the end point temperatures.

No, you don't. You do need to apply it thicker than you would with soft wax and muslin strips. What also helps is to apply a thin layer of GiGi Pre-Epilating Oil, azulene oil, or some kind of waxing oil before waxing, to heat the wax to the right temperature (melt wax in the pot warmer on high until the center remains unmelted, then turn it down to low and use the melted wax), and to pull the wax off at the right time (don't let it sit too long and get too hard and brittle).

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.

you follow the directions to heat it in the microwave, then use a wooden stick (something like a tongue depressor) and spread it on the area to be waxed, let it cool then pull it off. I apply it in patches about 2inches X 2inches. Smaller on really sensitive areas. If you have never had a wax before do it professionally first and watch how they do it.

Yes cloth strips are used after wax application (apply direction of hair growth-remove with strip in opposite direction....it will not harden like hard wax.

Haven't tried but assume it to be the case. Its a thicker material. I say it wants to adhere to itself more than the paint. Hence I expect with a bit of heat it would pull off without harm. It wouldn't hurt to clean and wax first though.

i donot keep my machine on all the time. when i use it is the only time it is on .it takes about 1 hour to melt wax right.

I used it in a wax melt warmer, but dont add water to make it last longer. it starts to snap, crackle and pop

Don't know about leaving it on for extended periods... we've never had it on for more than several hours at a time? As for pre-melting the wax, haven't tried it (why would you want to?) but I'm sure that would work fine... caution when carrying around molten wax however.

I used a small, cheap wax heater, but without such a device you could put it on the stove in a pan with some water in it and slowly melt it that way. A small wax heater ($25) is probably worth the money because the wax needs to be reheated continually.

I don't know for certain but being that this stuff is a type of plastic, I am going to say that I really don't think so. But it is reusable pretty much no matter what. So if your first results prove less than desirable, you can reheat the product and try again. It will not go to waste.

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!!
