Wax World FAQ

Please comment common wax world questions so that we may add them to the document.

• How do I find out the value of my jewelry I find in wax? - This can be done by going to a jewelry store or a pawn shop. - Never ask for an appraisal. Appraisals are for insurance purposes and can often cost more than your jewelry will be worth.- Ask for a price range/value of the piece of jewelry in question.- Some companies do include this information with the jewelry.

• How much wax do I use in my warmer? - A little wax goes a long way. You don’t generally need more than would cover the lowest portion of your warmer in a thin a layer. Any more is generally wasteful.

• How do I know when I need to change the wax within my warmer?- The strength of the throw will greatly decrease. Sometimes people become immune to the scents. Walk out of the room for a little bit and walk back in. If you can’t smell anything, it is probably time to change your wax. - Generally, common sense will tell you that if you can’t smell it when putting your nose up to it that it is probably time to change the wax.

• How do I dispose of wax/get it out of my warmer/clean warmer? - There are several ways to do this.- Put the warmer bowl into the freezer. Once frozen, the wax should pop right out.- Used wax can go right into the trashcan (makes trash smell fantastic).- Any residual wax that is still melted after pouring into a trashcan while warm can generally be wiped out with a paper towel.- If you still have wax in your warmer, you can remove excess with warm/hot water. Don’t forget to dry the bowl prior to adding fresh wax.

• How do I store my wax?- Never store wax in plastic bags.- Use polypropylene bags to store wax.- Store in a cool, dark, dry place.

• Are there any good rules of thumb when it comes to curing wax?- The higher the soy concentration, the longer the wax needs to cure.- Paraffin wax does not generally require cure time.- On average, I allow most parasoy blends to cure an average of 1 month. - On average, wax with high soy concentrations should be cured an average of 3 months.
