Mind you, no one is twisting your arm, just sharing what I perceive as a much easier approach. Jump to 6min 17 sec in the video to see.

I just wonder what's the problem with having water in the wax is. It'll pool at the bottom and can be drained after the puck hardens. Or not. Makes no real difference.

I'd be loathe to watch over two wax pots when I can just leave one water pot on full blast. Water also clears road salt better than molten wax.
