I was talking about hot immersion wax. If you drip wax exclusively without the hot part, good for you. You're using a different system.
Nope, not a different system. Hot wax and solvent wax are still wax. One is just using solvent to make the wax liquid. Water emulsion waxes use water and emulsifiers to get the wax into the liquid(ish) state while organic solvents are used to get the wax into the liquid state in solvent waxes. All of them are waxes and all of them depend on the same state of the wax…i.e. the wax being liquid…to work.
You've never practiced immersion wax and therefore know nothing about it. Why barge into something you know nothing about and yell at the sky?
And you
know that I’ve never practiced hot waxing how? New alert: I have done it long ago. Long before it got popular. Probably before you were born or, at least, when you were but a wee lad. Long before the internet became a thing. I found the process tendious and not worth the effort. I liked the cleanliness but not the fussiness. When White Lightning came along, I embraced it because it was easy to apply, gave the same results as hot wax without the fussiness, and it worked. I could even apply it on the road when I needed without having to melt wax with precious stove fuel and without carrying around a lump of wax and a pot to melt it in…never mind a silly hair drier.
I'm not the arbiter and nobody can stop you... feel free to carry on yelling at the sky alone. Enjoy.
Not yelling at the sky. Informing people who generally have no chemical experience that they don’t need to do something silly because there are better ways to do it. I have a degree in chemistry and 40 years of chemical research experience which allows me to see through the murk of the myths about waxing. There’s a whole lot of silliness surrounding waxing expounded by people who have no idea what they are talking about.
