Does anyone do hot wax batik with their students? What do you use to melt the wax? Several years ago I had encaustic wax melting trays, but I am at a different school now. I have several small crock pots instead. They do not have thermostats but I use meat thermometers to monitor temps. I haven't used these with students yet because I worry about flashpoint fire. Any thoughts on this? How safe do you think I would be to use the crock pots? Thanks!
