- Cut the center out of the cooler lid
- Place a little water in the coffee can, maybe a third full.
- Put a paper towel on top of the can and use the rubber band to hold it in place.
- Place your wax on the towel, attach the lid with the glass panel covering the hole you cut.
This is probably something many of you are a;ready familiar with. I couldn't
get over how simple it was to do, and how well it worked. The wax wicks
its way through the towel and the water makes it easy to remove from
the coffee can. Oh, and paint the inside black for faster results.
I got this off a quick web search.
Good luck,
Matthew
Hi All,
I have a quantity of wax that I am cleaning up. It has these dark brown particulates (seems like protein?) that won’t seem to separate from the wax, so I think I’ll need to filter. If that is correct, what’s a good method? I have funnels and paper towels, but is there a more fancy and/or effective way?
Thanks…
