I had to try my hand at this. My main reason …. Well, I just like making stuff.
I went with 1 lb of wax. Melted the wax in a 28oz can in hot / slow boiling water.
All great advice from
@austin87 in this thread, and he was kind enough to offer up some more thru PM.
I was hoping for 24. Ended up with 30, albeit, not as pretty as Austin's.
A slight brain-fart … Really hot, melted wax soaks into the carton rather quickly … Who knew?
As I proceeded, it wasn't too bad. Next time, I will remove the can for a spell (perhaps 1 minute or so before pouring).
I scraped the wax off the board and added the crumbled pieces to some of the cups.
Thanks to Austin for the inspiration!
