Dick writes: Perhaps the wax is brought to a higher temperature and held there? Reply: Yes it is in water bath, and after holding for several hours it is pressed out (10-12 hours minimum holding temp after jacking to high heat for about 12-15 minutes or so before backing off heat and holding), but it gets the job done and much comb wax saved. Also it is a good way to process slumgum and save much wax left from inefficient solar wax melters (50% not uncommon salvaged from slumgum). Walter T. Kelly still sells the wax presses for this purpose by the way and they are not really hard to use.
