Hi all,

I am looking for a thermostat to use in liquefying crystalized honey in the wax comb. How careful do I need to be? I was thinking that a thermostat with a 1 degree range might be needed. Do I need one with closer range? Like maybe 1/2 degree?

Has anyone done this? What temperature does the honey start to liquefy? What temperature does the wax begin to melt or distort? Where can I purchase one that will do the task?
