At what temperature does a wax seal for a toilet melt?
Depends on the origin of the wax. The melting points of BEE'S
wax is 45C. However, other waxes exist such as carnauba (a
vegetable wax, 78-85C) and paraffin (a mineral wax, 47-65C). To be
safe you should assume that the wax is going to melt with
temperatures exceeding

Is wax paper better than plastic wrap in a microwave?
I would advice against using Wax paper in a microwave.
The wax would easily melt when heated up by the waves.
Wax would blend in with the food and then you eat it.
Not sure if eating wax is harmful in any way, but I imagine
there being certain additives to it like anti fungal chemicals.
Probably not very harmful in small quantities but still..
Plastic wrap, if choosing the right type, does not give off
chemicals to the food.
