I was wondering if anyone has tried melting cappings
with a microwave and if so, how was it done?
*********************************
      I melt wax for candles in a microwave in a double-boiler (wax in a
quart canning jar which is set in a cut-off gallon milk jug of water).
      Remember that the wax will soak up rays from the microwave and get
really HOT.  I don't know whether it would ignite; don't bet the house
on it.
