Nice video, but I’m thinking a putty knife would have wasted less wax when scraping the bottom. Thanks for the video.

YOU can get it cleaner by using smaller pots as you go end up wit 4 or5 inch pot that means use hot wire to cut harf a inch up from bottom and just reheat the bottomt bit

Have you ever tried sifting some yuck out while the wax is melted?

You might want to rethink your process - in your 2nd melt you stirred the pot with all that foam on the top - you succeeded in reincorporating the floating impurities which produced that grayish powdery look on the top of the rehardened 2nd block - that could have been eliminated by skimming off the foam - go to your shed/garage and claim an old actual scraper - you were sawing and cutting away wax while trying to remove the sludge off the bottom - go to the dollar store and buy a pack of unbleached natural fiber coffee filters - take all your waste filters and shaved off dirty wax and place into one of those used bags; tie it off - place in bottom of pot, weigh it all down with large rocks, add water 5-6 inches (or more) above the bagged waste - all your wax will float out of those wax robbers - after you recover the hardened wax and pour off the water, you will be left with wax free waste and filters - rinse and wash the filters to be used again - the remains will be soft and crumbly to be tossed and spread to the places chickens usually peck about, or spread to your garden or tossed in your compost - remember to keep the bags and rocks submerged while melting - you may need to melt one more time to pour through the coffee filters to enjoy a very pristine wax - save all those filters to add to future used filters for even more wax recovery

im struggling with this method ... once it hardens I cant get it out the pot ... have you had that happen ?

If your having too much trouble removing it from the pot, I often pour mine into a second sacrificial container. An old milk carton works well, but make sure to use the cardboard ones because the plastic jugs will melt due to heat
