Quickly cut the wax into chunks using your pizza cutter (my favorite) or a sharp paring knife. There's no rule to the best way to do this. Like cutting an onion, there's many ways to do it. I prefer to cut the "sheet" into two long rectangles and then cut small slices. Then I stack the short slices and make the final chunks cut.

One of the best tools to cut the slices nice and evenly is a round bladed pizza cutter. It's SO easy with one of those!
