Oscar135 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I went to wax the Z and found my Americana looks dried out. I would appreciate it if someone could let me know if this is bad. I've had it a year but only used it twice. It’s a bummer if I have to replace it. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ChargerMatt Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 It's all good man. You can use it like that if it will stay put or you have two options: 1) Rub the wax onto the applicator, like chalk on a chalkboard. 2) Melt it in one of those candle holder thingies... ladies, help me out?

0 Captain Slow Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 (edited) Dude, you're all good. Mine looked just like that and I gently microwaved mine back to Americana goodness. Just remember to remove the lid and fool wrapper. If the Adam's staff contradicts me I will disagree. The beading on my G8 today and yesterday was it's usual awesomeness!

0 Team Adam's Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Candle warmers are the safest solution, although it can be time consuming. Not nearly as easy as a microwave, but that option can get out of hand in a hurry. Nobody likes cooked Americana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 THE Mook Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Oh no! You better send that to me because I can see its toast! Just kidding I have enough Wax I know there's a fix thread on this...someone help me find it please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 egott_91 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Do you keep it in the fridge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 chrys7 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 i have done this several times, small pot of water put the jar in the pot (it will float) heat on medium and let it simmer. As the water heats up the jar heats up and melts the Americana. You could leave it in there until its completely liquid but if 50% of it melts i think your good. Pull it out let it sit for 5 min then put it in the frig not the freezer for 20min and your done. Oh no! You better send that to me because I can see its toast!

Works so well, bring it home for the night, cook it up, put it in the freezer, and nice even Americana in the morning haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Dave helped you out. If your Americana is busted Mook I will be more than happy to take it off your hands. I'am sure I can restore it back to like new condition. The water method I'am sure works much better than the candle warmer idea. Not only is it faster, and cleaner. The better half isn't going put your picture in the obits because you ruined her candle warmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Foxxer Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 It was really cold night huh? Wax is such a breeze to get off on a warm country. This will get fixed on several applications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
