If the water has become dirty and needs replacing, open the bottom tap and empty the container. (See warning 2 below) This will easily break away from the sides of the container and can be melted at a later date.
Using a pair of thick gloves, as the tap will be hot, carefully open the upper tap and pour off the liquid wax.You are now ready to tap off the clean wax. (If insulation is applied to the melter times will be speeded up dramatically). Once all the wax has melted leave it to settle for a further hour.
Pelleted wax will obviously melt a lot quicker than large blocks. All the wax should finally have melted within two hours. Leave for an hour stirring occasionally.At this point stir the mixture with a wooden or plastic spoon to break up any larger blocks that may have come together in the melting process. Leave for half an hour or so and then top up with more wax.Add approximately 10 kgs of wax in block or pelleted form to the container and replace the lid.Switch on and turn up the thermostat to 85-90 C.Add cold, preferably soft water to the container to just below the level of the upper tap.To melt clean beeswax or paraffin wax for making candles or polish.
