I realise this is going to seem like a really silly question but have been going over and over it and still can't seem to find the best way to set up my new Hive 500cc wax heater. The instructions are just so vague, haven't used pot for a while been using roller and am really stuck!
I am a mobile therapist so need to find a way where it is not going to spill everywhere.
So far I have my heater with the inner pot standing in it, and in that I have my plastic pot of wax, the problem is that then the scraper bar will not stay on the plastic pot, ie too high keeps coming off (thought I would be able to use this to lift it out when I have finished?), if I put the scraper bar lower, (under the screw markings for lid) it sits wonky in the inner metal pot. Can you not use the inner metal pot if you wish to use the scraper bar?
If you just stand the plastic pot in heater there is a big gap so surely take ages to heat up?
I then have a cardboard collar sat on top of plastic wax pot is this right? The lady at suppliers said that the base of machine locks on to the top upside down, but I can't figure out what this is for, just looks like a drip tray?
It also seems that once you have your plastic wax pot in the heater the lid will not then fit on, so how on earth do you transport it?
Sorry for really long winded and daft question can hear sniggers already, but it is driving me mad and wish somebody would just come round and show me how to set it up correctly!
Look forward to any sort of response, fingers crossed!
Thanks in advance
