605.0. "Wax covered Menorah. How to remove?" by IOENG::GOODSTEIN (Stay tuned for station identification) Fri Dec 16 1988 15:56

    
    	Now that Channukah is over, I have a menorah that s covered
    with candle wax.  Even though the box said "dripless", they dripped
    nevertheless.  Any suggestions on removing the wax without scrapping
    the stuff off?
    
    	Thanks

    Hot water.  Put it under the faucet and the wax will disolve.

    Grandma solution:
    
    Remember the blotting papers you (maybe) used in school to dry up the
    ink? Put such a paper on the wax spots, heat your ironing iron (low
    heat, PLEASE!), and press it onto the paper.
    
    The heat melts the wax and it is all absorbed by the paper.
    
    Practically yours,
