So how did you get rid of the wax? I was inoculating logs a year ago and the jars are still waiting for clean up.

- coolspot 3y agoAnswer from Snapchat My AI: Mix baking soda and water into a paste, then use it to scrub the wax off.
- usrusr 3y agoOh great, now I wonder what the mushrooms would suggest for getting rid of Google
- Arrath 3y agoIf nothing else it would certainly be a trip.
- LoganDark 3y agoOnly if they were psilocybin mushrooms.
- agentwiggles 3y agoWhatever they suggest, good luck making sense of it the next day
- happysadpanda2 3y agoAm I mistaken in thinking that "The last of us" covered this?
- dopidopHN 3y agoAs a human, I would like to note that this technique, as much as it will eventually works, is not the most effective. See the boiling water brother comment.
- wlesieutre 3y agoPersonally I'd try Bar Keepers Friend
- ajb 3y agoAlways been a bit suspicious of that since it contains oxalic acid, which is toxic. I assume it's water soluble enough to get rid of easily before you use the surfaces for food though.
- ydant 3y ago> oxalic acid The benefit of using oxalic acid for cleaning, apparently, was discovered as part of the process of cooking rhubarb: https://barkeepersfriend.com/oxalic-acid-magic-of-bkf/ https://barkeepersfriend.com/oxalic-acid-magic-of-bkf/
- wlesieutre 3y agoDefinitely rinse thoroughly, with the exception of vinegar there's not a lot of cleaning products you want to be eating
- justinclift 3y agoIronically, here in Australia that brand has really destroyed its image. They're now stocked in most of the big chain supermarkets, but it's a "reformulated" version of Bar Keepers Friend using Citric acid instead. It's completely and utterly useless at cleaning the things the old Oxalic acid version worked on. :( With careful perusal and emailing via Ebay though, the original formula stuff can be found. This is the seller I get it from: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/231989692018 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/231989692018. I'm not affiliated with them in any way.
- robinsonb5 3y agoThe traditional method of getting wax out of clothes is a hot iron and brown paper. I daresay the same principle - melt the wax and soak it up - could be applied to other surfaces.
- Blackthorn 3y agoHaven't tried this specific instance but kerosene (which is the major component of WD40) is a great solvent for waxes.
- markdown 3y ago> which is the major component of WD40 TIL, thanks!
- kevin_thibedeau 3y agoFill the pot with water and heat it above the melting pont. Cool it down and the wax will form a skin so you're left with just a ring to scrape off.
