Preparing the Wax

David Fisher
Melt enough wax to fill your melt pot, but leave enough room to dip the balloon in. Usually about an inch or so from the top is good, unless it's a really big balloon.

Set the melt pot on top of a cookie sheet or pan in your sink.

Let the wax cool to about 150 degrees.
