Question 1

I need the level of the wax to go about 1-2 inches above the position of a watch .  The warmth is for my wrist -- will this unit be deep enough?

Accepted Answer

I needed the same thing because as a Lmt, my wrists take a lot of abuse. I don't have big arms or hands. But the unit was still not deep enough. We both need something where we can put our hands in from the top of the unit rather than the side of the unit. The bigger units which contain about 6 pounds of wax should do the trick. While it is true that you could cover your wrist if 1) there is an ample supply of wax, 2) you use a metal cup to scoop the wax onto your wrist 3) submerge the hand/wrist at a weird angle to make it work, and 4) keep dipping and turning your hand over a few times -- all of this extra effort isn't worth it. Soaking our hands/wrists should be hassle free, but with this unit it is not. Update: I returned the unit and within two days, my cc account has been refunded. Amazon has always been great to me when it comes to returns, which I don't do often. I am very grateful for Amazon's awesome return policy. Thank you Amazon.

Question 2

I have women's US size 10 foot. would these fit? also, can you use natural beeswax in unit? I have plenty due to beekeeping! thanks

Accepted Answer

i tried my on my foot which is a size 12. it does not fit over the heel. i do not think it will fit over your foot right. it is hard to pull up. i would not recommend using bees wax in this unit. i would only use the wax they sell on amazon because it has moisturizers in it. i'm afraid bees wax would clog the unit and it would not heat.

Question 3

Would it be good for hands as welll as feet?

Accepted Answer

Yes it is good for hands..  I bought this to use for my hands, but before I set it up I put my foot in to see if it would fit.  My foot did fit, but I wear about a size 61/2.  This is great for my hands.  It does heat in about 2 hours.  I find mine heats in just under 2 hours.

Question 4

According to directions, the paraffin is supposed to be cut into 4 parts prior to use, how do you do that?  this stuff is hard?

Accepted Answer

I think cutting the blocks is recommended to reduce the time taken to melt the wax.  I never do that though :) I just put the blocks in and use when melted.
