I use an electric heat gun that is designed for stripping paint. I just
spread some aluminum foil on my work table put the queen excluder on top,
turn the heat up, pull the trigger and point at the burr comb.  Use caution
here.  the gun will get the wax hot enough to ignite.  I move the gun back
and forth and let the wax melt off onto the foil.  When I have cleaned them
all I roll up the aluminum foil and put it in the freezer.  When it is
frozen it is very easy to remove from the foil.  What you have can now be
put in the wax melter.  the heat gun can be purchased at Sears, Walmart
K-mart or most hardware stores.
