I gave it 30 mins at 95c the first time, but you say above 100c for a while which makes sense for removing water.
What temp would you suggest ?

Update: did some googling and Molten Speed Wax say not to heat above 93c (200F)

I have no idea why Molten would say that, but I measured my crockpot of wax and it was well over 230F (the meat thermometer maxes out at 230, but it was totally pegged). And I leave the chain there for a good long time.
