Does anyone know if this will work with the warmer? The warmer states for 8 oz or 14 oz? I just don't want to end up with wax I can't warm. Thank!

It works with my warmer for sure. My warmer came with a 14oz hard wax but the 13oz Azulene seems to fit just the same. It is really sticky and was a nightmare getting the lid off and stuff, but after that i loved it! Instead of buying the fabric pieces I just bought a yard of it at the store and tore it into strips for a dollar. Next time I'll probably use gloves so i don't have to worry about it getting on my hands again!!

It only works with the wax warmers that you find in the beauty salons. I purchased one from GiGi brand. Just be careful with it as it can get very sticky and difficult to clean sometimes.

The metal piece is not used for wax, it is a type of cup holder for the wax container that you need to insert the wax container into the metal piece. Sort of like a cup stacked onto another cup type. Gigi warmer is sold separately from several Gigi wax products that you can find here on Amazon. Be sure to remove the plastic top off before you begin to melt the wax container! Don't forget the collars they are so helpful in keeping your warmer clean from drippings of the wax! Hope this helps you!

The can of wax is included and with the wax warmer; the wax is supposed to allow people to peel off the wax instead of using strips so strips are not included. However, peeling off the wax is much more painful than if you purchase a wax that requires strips. The warmer is a good unit and I would recommend it, but the wax didn't impress me at all. I would not recommend buying strips with this wax because the wax is thicker than the wax that requires strips.

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.

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.

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.

I think the refill bottles should fit if you purchased the clean and clear brand. I haven't ordered it yet but I was thinking about refilling with other hot wax I have in the same bottle. I hope it works

Yes. That's exactly what I did. I like Epillys wax & I just heated it up & poured it in. I really like it. The wax never gets too hot either.

I have not tried melting wax in it only food. I guess you should call the manufacturer and ask as there may be issues concerning safety.

Kathleen I bought this spool and it is not waxed, I make candles and have to wax all of my wicks. Sounds like a cool project you are doing, I hope it works. Val

Yes. Strange enough, I purchased a candle warmer and it does heat the wax. Keep in mind that it may take up to 45 minutes to completely warm up but it does get the job done.

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.

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. ��

You can use it with lose wax, but then again, it has to be hot for you to clean it. I just put the container in it, and it heats up. no need to do anything else.

I don't know , I do not own a wax warmer but if you are going to do that be very careful because it heats up in very little time, you don't want to over heated and burn yourself. Best of luck

No you have to use a special wax, theirs. I just gave mine away as took forever to warm the wax...onto the next brand.

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.
