Aluminum melts wax first due to its relatively high thermal conductivity, which allows it to transfer heat quickly. When aluminum is heated, it can reach temperatures that exceed the melting point of wax (approximately 62-65°C or 144-149°F) before the aluminum itself begins to melt. This rapid heat transfer causes the wax to melt first, making it easier to release any embedded objects or create impressions in molds.

Why does wax melt in boiling water?

Wax has a lower melting point than boiling water, so when placed in boiling water, the heat from the water causes the wax to melt. The molecules in the wax absorb the heat energy from the water, which ultimately leads to the wax melting.


How can I properly wax a bicycle chain?

To properly wax a bicycle chain, first clean the chain thoroughly with a degreaser. Then melt the wax in a pot and dip the chain into the wax. Let it cool and wipe off any excess wax. Reinstall the chain and enjoy a smoother, cleaner ride.


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
