Can you use loose wax in this warmer without puttting container in there?

You can do that, but cleaning would be tough.. so would not suggest to do that

For personal use, you can reuse the wax. Instructions are included where you use a rope, let the block of paraffin cool, lift it out and remove the detritus that gathers on the bottom. One would have to replace the wax lost in this process but it seems it wouldn't be very much -- maybe a block. (I haven't done it yet).

You can probably heat the wax in the microwave in smaller batches and use only what you need. I wouldn't recommend leaving it on constantly since the heating element will wear out sooner. You also can start with a smaller amount of wax. I wish I had and may try your microwave idea the next time I use it. I will say that I love it and can't believe I waited so long to get it.

Hello can you recommend what type of wax warmer to use for this type of wax?

You can, thats up to you. But if one day you want to try a new wax, you would have to clean all that wax out first. Which would probably be a big mess. I would say keep it in the tin that it comes in, just to save you from a possible mess later on. And its a lot easier.

I use the other GiGi waxes with a little warmer made for candles. It is just a warming base and it fits the bottom of the tin jar perfectly. They have them at walmart. It looks like a little warming disk for coffee mugs. I've seen them sold for office/desk use. Going to get the warmer this week only b/c I want it all contained and it will probably heat up much faster. Only used it this way b/c I wasn't sure I would want to continue after my first time. Bought it, got it home and realized I needed a good way to keep it warm while working with it. If you have a walmart, go try one, it sells for less than 5.00.

As there aren't any controls for the heating temperature, I wouldn't use it for melting wax for craft purposes. I'm not a crafter but I wouldn't trust it.

I wouldn't unless you're just using it for candle packaging. A lit candle would melt it. I use mine for baked goods.

Yes you can.. you can use any type of wax but you have to check that the container can fit into the wax pot... check the dimension of the wax pot against the dimension of the wax container... if the container can fit into the wax pot then you can use it. Y8u can buy the wax online from sellers at amazon...

Well, the larger ones do not fit and the small ones do but it will be difficult to get them out. On the other hand I have no idea if it is possible to warm this in there without getting burnt since you need some thongs or something to get the small container out.

No you have to use a special wax, theirs. I just gave mine away as took forever to warm the wax...onto the next brand.

You probably could as long as the cannister or can fits into the warmer. It works wonderfully for me. Hope this helps.

I have not tried but I don't think I would as the opening makes it awkward to clean. I occasionally have to scrub mine when I want to change oil scents and it's a bit difficult although the wax might come out in one piece. That being said I would check with the manufacturer about using the wax.

No you cant warm it in the mirowave .... it will spark cause of the metal can .... and no you cant use stips cause this type of wax is hard ..... and it should be easy to pull off ....u always have to leave a corner lifted to be able to pull off ...

no, the container is aluminum, it is designed to be heated in the wax warmer. Might explode (or at least spark) in the microwave. Best microwaveable wax (imho) is Sally Hansen Brazilian Bikini Wax, also available on Amazon.~cheers

Yes, you want to place the whole tin in the warmer. Only warm it on low because otherwise it will mess up the wax. Give it a try. It works great!!

NO! Never put it in the microwave! This is professional wax that has to be used with the wax warmer.
