Try putting a couple of layers of kitchen roll over the top of the wax and put the iron on just above the silk option and the wax should melt and be absorbed by the kitchen roll.

I have just had a look in my how to do everything book! Xxx

Try some paper towels and an iron, not hot enough to burn the towels but enough to soak up the wax.

Yes , this does it , be careful though or grease proof paper works better

Just do it gently till it starts melting

Let us no if it works

Did you put this in the of topic section

You no when you get to the end of your post when you are writing one

Then it says members only & I always press that one well under that it says humor / of topic , press that little dot till it is blue

Then it goes in there

O I am hopeless at explaining

Dont worry though mimii

Now my lovely Cookie has messaged me Will-i-am is going to be on TV in a minute bless her & I am now glued waiting
