Now I'm glad you warned me off of it. The box of wax says expressly to not try to melt it in the oven: "Never melt directly in pan over fire, hot plate or in hot oven." It says to heat it in a pan over boiling water, as in a double boiler.
So here goes nothing:
Stop the train right there please...that pan is useless for two reasons: 1: It's too big you need to use a small diameter for my drape method. You need a tall small diameter pan. Use something like a small soup pan so the wax fills the pan to the top when melted 2) It's too thin to use over and over for years. It will probably develop a cut or hole with continued use. If wax runs out and hits the burner you could have fire so why risk it by going so cheap on your pan?
