Melt a small amount of wax and add crushed white crayon as needed to make the wax look as close to pure white as you can. The crayon isn't required as the wax should dry to become white anyway, but adding makes me feel better. I used 1 white Crayola crayon.

Holding both the pipe and the wax can with gloves or rags, pour the wax in the pipe. Fill it so it is one inch from the top. Put it in a cool, stable, and secure place free of disturbances. I set mine in a tall glass glass in front of my fan.
