Wax pots cooling down between mobile clients

[jackie b]

Hi guys your comments please,
will be using 2 pots, one for hard wax and one for strip wax and will heat both before leaving home. With regards to the fast approaching drop in temperature do you find that your waxes hardened on route to clients, are they back up to temperature by the time you've set up?. I wondered about standing the pots (have lockable lids) inside an insulated picnic box or bag whilst in the car on route, do you think that this would make much of a difference - or am i worrying unnecessarily. Will probably add a roller system but feel that i need to stop spending on equipment and start making some money! :hug:

I don't tend to find it a problem Hun. Once it's heated it won't go completely solid whilst driving. As you said plug in straight away so has time to heat whilst setting up.

I'm mobile and like you have two pots:
One hard wax, Berins beads which I place directly in heater (with no bucket) topping up as I go. One soft/strip wax - which remains in tin then placed in bucket. I find the bucket helps in retaining heat, I plug in as soon as I land and I'm ready to go when set up.

Porting the wax around has however been a learning curve...with a few messy mistakes along the way. YES YES YES get a square insulated picnic bag (circa £10 from the place where every little helps!! "California Innovations" It says on top). It's fab for both my large hive heater and keeping all lotions and potions upright. I use Perron Rigot strip wax which has a HUGELY handy plastic cap on the tin as even upright with a lockable lid all you need is a roundabout for a wax wave over the lid rim....and I've had a few wax waves I can tell you!! :cry:

Hoping this helps xx

I use the austrailian bodycare tube wax and you can plug it into your car to keep it heted up between clients or heat it up on the journey to your 1st client. You can buy the adapter from Austrailian bodycare

I only have a Hive heater and Hive warm wax - how do I keep that from spilling? It's spilled before in the car lol!

When i was mobile i used to put my wax pots in a large tub surrounded by towels and my bits. The hive have lockable lids which i aslo put on. I had the tub in the boot of the car with stuff around the tub to prevent it moving. Sometimes i would squash the tub in the footwell of the back seat and move the front seat as far back as possible which jammed the tub in. I was lucky as i never had an accident with the wax in the car.

I always put my box with everything in in the footwell of the front passenger seat, never goes anywhere. Xx
