Wax in Steamer

I've never had this problem before. I used my Power Steamer 705 wallpaper steamer to remove wax from molds I made. As I cleaned up I thought the steamer tank felt heavy. Somehow some wax migrated into the water tank. Any ideas as to how to get it out?
Thanks

Re: Stand for Sconce

Sweet. I had two disks from a light fixture that would have been perfect. I've used them in another project. I'll keep my eye out for more.
Thanks

Re: Stand for Sconce

Thanks, I am not near an Ikea store. The person this is going to is, he may be able to take it to the store and fit it and then give me some feedback. :-D

Re: Stand for Sconce

If I could find a fixture that was electrified, like a wall unit but for the table, that would be great. Otherwise it would be on edge with or without a candle. That would be stabilized and make it a display. Thanks

Re: Dried up

Re: Dried up

will do. it is too bad. paints such as watercolor may be rehydrated. trying a bit of water in the Glassline bottle. if it works i may pry off the ends of the pens and add a drop or two.
