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.
