The hot wax capacitor dip is a nice idea. I wonder if the heaters used for hair removal wax would work?
Strangely enough I saw some in Lidl's over Christmas, until then I was unaware any such products existed I suppose the key as to whether they'd work is whether "hair removal wax" liquefies at the same temperature as beeswax. I guessed that hair removal wax would melt at a low temperature to avoid burns - beeswax gets quite hot at the "right" temperature for a successful dipping. I wouldn't want to have an accident and tip the hot beeswax over my hand .
