Bring water to a boil and reduce heat until the water is simmering. Place beeswax in the top boiler pot or smaller pot that can be placed on top of the pot of boiling water. Melt the wax slowly and stir as required. Microwave Method: Place beeswax pellets in a microwave-safe glass dish. Reduce the power setting to at least 60%. Heat for 20 seconds at a time, stir, and repeat as needed until the wax is fully melted. Cautions Do not use if seal is broken.
