Solar wax melter

10/12/2017

I cleaned up my solar wax melter today, it had a ton of slum gum in it (you can see it on the grass in the video). I put through some wax I had already rendered as it had more non-wax bits and pieces (bees, ants) than I wanted. You can see how hot the melter gets by how quickly the wax is melting. I added a clean piece of weed barrier as my filter – this works great and is cheap and easy to replace.
