Clean Up Tips

Cleaning up after a project is never fun, but if you follow a couple simple guidelines you'll minimize the hassle.

1) Do not pour wax down the drain.
Allow any leftover, melted wax to cool; then, store the dried pieces for later use. You should also dump the water from your double boiler outside to ensure that no wax goes down the drain.

2) Clean up any wax on our near the stove eye.
If any drips or spills have occurred, be sure to clean them up completely. Wax will ignite if it reaches a high enough temperature.
