1 Place the metal pouring jug on your scale and tare the weight. Weigh out your wax and melt using the doubleboiler method – place the jug into a saucepan half-filled with water and heat until simmering. Stir until all the wax is melted. Once the wax is completely melted, remove the jug or bowl from the heat and rest it on a heatproof surface. Check the temperature and let it cool to 65 °C.
