Can the wax be melted in the microwave?

I have not tried to do that myself. But if you do try to. Please be careful.

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.

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 use a wax warmer. I purchased on Amazon by the name of Melting Pot,they are great and just right for home use.

No. They cannot be put in a microwave oven. The coated rims would overheat.

Yes this is very simple! Make sure it is on a level surface. Put the unmelted wax into the device .I cut it up in chunks but not necessary. Put the machine on 1/2 power ( turn halfway up the dial and it should take a couple of hours to melt. Place your hands in the melted wax,make sure it's not too hot and then wrap your hands over the wax with the plastic bags and place the mittens on for as long as you like. When your ready peel off the wax! The wax does take several hours to melt!

no, the container is aluminum, it is designed to be heated in the wax warmer. Might explode (or at least spark) in the microwave. Best microwaveable wax (imho) is Sally Hansen Brazilian Bikini Wax, also available on Amazon.~cheers

Yes...I have put these in the microwave multiple times for no more than 1 min at a time and it has not done any damage to them. They don't get too hot and have not melted at all. I have heard that microwaving food in plastic is not safe because of chemicals that are released during the microwave process, but that is a seperat issue.

I don't microwave plastic. I'm sure you can but you risk leaching chemicals and melting the thing. If you're looking to disinfect it then you can use boiling water or rinsing with rubbing alcohol (this is what I do).

You can't really microwave it, since the plastic around it going to melt, and its not a gel material its a liquid that once you snap the metal piece inside turns hard and releases heat.

No. It would melt. Only use it for covering things that are heated up in the microwave.

I don't recall if the instructions said you can sterilize these in the microwave. My guess is no, but I wouldn't use the microwave to sterilize them, myself.

I have never melted this in the microwave, I've only used a double boiler. But, it seems like you should be able to.

No-Tweeze sells a melter unit, but I never bought one. I just scraped some out of the metal container and put it in a sturdy plastic container to use in the microwave. The friend who originally used it on me just kept it in an old whipped butter container. It wasn't easy for me to get the hard wax out of the metal container originally, but you can reuse what you scrape out several times, so it's worth the effort. Hope this helps.

There is metal in this product so you would not be able to use it in microwave.

I have no idea. I got it for my daughter and she uses it as a decoration. I don't think she's tried it in the microwave.

I think you should be able to use it in with the wax warmer but I do have a couple concerns. I don't know how hot the warmer gets so you may find the wax gets too hot or not hot quickly enough. My wax warmers are pro and have variable heat settings. Before putting the wax on your more sensitive areas, test it on your wrist to check the temperature and avoid scalding yourself. Also, you will need to hold onto an SH tin so you have a container for the wax. Honestly, I was in need of a waxing a few months back and had the beads at home and no warmer so placed them in a container and microwaved. The wax initially was too hot but once it cooled it was fine. I did have to put it in the microwave one more time to finish the job but it beat waiting until I went back into my office. So yes... I think it is worth a try. Hope this helps!
