Carefully break the surface of the wax with a large applicator. If wax has not melted, reheat in 15-second increments until you can stir the wax so it takes on a thin/creamy consistency.
Note: Heating time varies with each microwave. DO NOT heat wax for more than a total of 1 minute, as wax may be too hot to apply.
3. Remove the jar from the microwave carefully using the handle.
4. Test wax temperature by applying wax with wax applicator on the inside of your wrist before waxing.
