When you have all wax together you take a big metallic bin, put water on bottom and capping wax in.
Then heat it so much that wax melts. Sieve liquid wax through pantyhose or something and let wax cool.
Where you sieve wax is for excample old plastic bucket. Firts put layer of water on bottom.

A little research should show you a few more but those are off the top of my head.
