    I had a little play at this today, I tried it 2 ways one by melting the wax into a form the other by rolling it into a ball until it was soft. The biggest problem I encountered been a jeweller around christmas time tends to leave you with not much in the way of fingerprints !! but I tried


    The wax its old but still ok

    I have a little wax melter thing its american so probs in deg F not C but i just set it so the wax melted slowly



    It also heated the spoon which I used to get the wax out of the tube thought it was quite apt as the new trainspotting movie is out soon !






    I then transfer the molten wax to a plastic lid to make a slab

    I then popped this into the freezer to cool




    It popped straight out
