Step 6Heat Your Wax in a Double Boiler
Wax is flammable!
To avoid causing a fire, we are going to melt the wax in an improvised double boiler.
1) Put a pie pan with about 1/2 inch of water on a hot plate.
2) Place a measuring cup containing your wax into the water.
3) Turn on the hot plate to medium/medium high (on my hot plate, at least).
4) Wait patiently until the wax melts.
Why use a measuring cup? It gives enough depth to dip, but doesn't require a lot of wax to fill.
