Eugene,
You can also zap the cappings in a microwave oven or heat it in a double
boiler.
Most suggestions involve heating the cappings-honey mix, so when you are
done, the honey is best used for cooking. I had a temperature sensor on
my old microwave, so I could keep it about 160 F. But now I put it on a
low power setting so I do not overheat it. Anytime you heat wax, be
careful.
