I prefer not to use a solar wax melter rather than a boiler.
 
However if you must us a boil, try
1 put the cappings in a stocking
2 place this "sausage" in the boiler
  (wait it down with something so that it sinks to the bottom)
3 "boil"
  the wax will melt and float to the top
  the rubbish will remain trapped in the stocking
  (a small amount of rubbish might float but not much)
4 let it all cool down
5 when the wax is solid (floating on the top)
  just pick it up.
 
Note:
If the water boils in the normal way, the bubbles will agitate the molten
wax and stir the very fine rubbish in with it.  This will give dirty wax.
 
Try to keep the temperature just above the melting point of the wax.  This
will not agitate the water and the wax should be cleaner.
 
FGS Don't stir it.
