    Kara - there are larger blocks available for purchase. Try Kindt
    Collins website. They make the Ferris wax and it's superior quality.
    As far as melting and pouring goes I'd do it very slowly over low
    heat and try not to incorporate bubbles in the molten wax at any
    time. The thin aluminum disposable pans are great for what you're
    trying to do, then you can simply bend them away from the cooled wax
    when you're ready to use the larger block or else carefully cut them
    and tear the aluminum away from the wax. I doesn't stick to the pan
