I read the the wax on boiling water deal when I was a kid and did it several years that way... thick, cakey, garbagy traps. It's hard to believe that anyone recommending that has actually done it.

Proudly banned from the NTA.

Bother me tomorrow. Today I'll buy no sorrows.

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…

^^^ And I’ve never had to involve a thermometer to keep the process in check. Keep the water at a simmer and you’re good to go.

Simple is simple.
