It's hard to believe that anyone recommending that has actually done it. Gotta find a way, a better way, I'd better wait Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not after you

I’ve never smoked the wax or had a fire using this method. Potential disaster right here , all that molten wax surrounded by water. If some of that water gets on that molten wax - BOOM molten wax bath. False. Water will not spatter the wax unless the wax is hotter and rapidly boils the water. With that setup, the wax will never be hotter than the water, the wax will always be lower than boiling point of water. I’ve been sayin yes sir all day at work, I’ve been sayin yes ma’am at home…
