FAQs
Can I use this container with strip wax?
No, this inner container is specifically designed for use with hot wax only. Strip waxes require different heating methods and containers.
Do I always need to use an inner liner?
Yes, an inner liner is essential when using hot wax to maintain hygiene and facilitate easy cleaning of the container.
What is the capacity of this container?
The capacity of this Hive Wax Inner Container is 0.5 Litres (or 500cc).
How often should I clean the container?
The container should be cleaned after every use, typically by discarding the disposable liner and wiping down the container.
Is this container compatible with other wax heaters?
While it is designed for the Options by Hive Dome Wax Heater, it may fit other heaters with a similar internal diameter. However, optimal performance is guaranteed with the specified Hive heater.
Can I put the container directly on a heat source?
No, this container is not designed to be heated directly. It must be used inside a compatible wax heater like the Options by Hive Dome Wax Heater.
Troubleshooting
Wax is not melting evenly
Ensure the inner container is correctly seated in the heater and that the heater is set to the appropriate temperature. Stir the wax occasionally to promote even melting.
Wax is overheating
Reduce the temperature setting on your Hive Dome Wax Heater. Hot wax does not require extremely high temperatures. Allow the wax to cool slightly before continuing.
Container is difficult to clean
Ensure you are using a disposable liner with hot wax. For residue, use a small amount of wax solvent on a cloth after removing as much wax as possible. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
