Hi!
I have two methods so far that work for me depending in the size of the
pot/bowl and its
relative value (cost of replacement).
1) Completely submerge the entire thing in boiling water. Allow the wax
to boil off and then
pour off the boiling water with the wax in suspension.
2) Deep freeze the thing for 24 hours. Then bang it on the cement. At
this point most of the
wax and propolis will 'shatter' off and the rest can be easily scraped
before the object warms.
