To extinguish a wax fire, you can either smother the flames by covering the burning wax with a metal lid or baking sheet, cutting off the oxygen supply, or use a fire extinguisher rated for flammable liquids (Class B). Never use water, as it can spread the fire. Additionally, a salt or baking soda can help to smother small wax fires. Always prioritize safety and call emergency services if the fire is uncontrollable.

How do you put wax on a wax tablet?

You take your tablet (a slab of wood) and you warm it some by the fire. You melt your wax in a ceramic cup and pour the wax onto the level surface of the tablet. If the tablet has a slightly raised edge then you should get a covering of wax that is almost as thick as the lip (wax shrinks a lot when it cools so the surface will not be exactly flat but that should not matter much.
