John Thorp's is a good idea for solar wax melter use.
 But I would enclose the
frames in
nylons and use milk filters and line the pan with freezer
paper first to keep the resting pan clean--it's a bitch
to clean.
Good old SWM! I've even used it to extract frames of broken
honey, within nylons, of course, or when the extractor
was already cleaned up and put away.
