    I don't do large quantities, so this might not work for all. I use
    small tins and put them directly under a hot light bulb while carving
    wax close by so I can watch it. The heat from the light eventually
    melts it... maybe 15 minutes... into a pool of wax. I let it cool,
    and then work with it from the tin. 

    Last time it was a flat 3 oz burt's bees farmer's friend hand salve
    tin and a 75 watt bulb right over the wax bits.
