Does anyone on this list have experience with Mann Lake's portable Solar
Wax Melter?

Nope - but I made one from the plans I found 'somewhere' (been looking for
'em and can't remember where I put 'em) and it works spiffy in the middle of
Illinois. I'm sure it would work where you live.
Mine is a rather simple wooden box, tilted toward the sun (about 30 degrees)
and I put it facing South. Two panes of glass on top. It goes up to over
200 degrees on a nice day and the wax comes a rolling outta those bad frames
into the loaf pan below.
( durn, I wish I could remember where that magazine is with the plans... <G>
