Chris,
   I heat it in an old crock pot set on high till the wax melts and then 
switch to low. I roll it on with a 4 inch foam roller and cover what I 
can but I don't worry too much about being perfect. The bees seem to 
deal with it just fine as long as they get started. I was given a few 
hundred new Pierco frames that were sitting in a barn unused for many 
years and it seemed the the wax was non-existant and the bees avoided 
them like the plague. One roller treatment with beeswax and they build 
em right out if a flow is on.


Regards,
Keth
