I use a 20 quart porcelain canning pot, filled 2/3 the way with water.
Add cappings of say 5 med. supers. Bring almost to boil, all the wax
should be melted. Let cool and remove wax cake from surface. Then I melt
this cake in stainless steel bowl in a double boiler, pour melted wax
through fine mesh nylon into mold ( I use milk carton). I end up with
blocks of lemon colored pure beeswax.
