Mike, like you I did not want a tub so big and full of (expensive) wax that it would work to dip the foundation. Instead, I bought a big electric frying pan (holds around 5 lb melted beeswax) and a wide paintbrush. The brush and wax just live in the frying pan, and that keeps the mess to a minimum.

I tried a foam roller, but the heat of the melted wax is tough on them, and you get a wax spray off the roller all over you and everything else close by. The brush is a lot easier and tidier, and goes just as fast.
