    Nice, if I get some more bottles I'll certainly give melting a try!
    The shattering wax made a dreadful mess!

    I'm just glad they're corked too. This means shards of wax won't fall in, and it should be more resistant to directed heat (i.e. heat gun, lighter, hot knife, etc.)

    If I recall correctly, they have rubber corks, so be careful that you don't melt the cork too :grimacing:

    Why dafuq did you even wax 44 bottles? Shouldn't you have done a trial waxing first to see how shit turns out?

    The whole cutting and prying method kinda blows cuz then there is wax pieces all over the place.
