Yep, that's it in a nutshell. Heat, then dip, then spin the bottle to catch the drips. Done. Very easy to do. Maybe 45-50 minutes in all...35-40 to heat the wax, 10 to dip the bottles. I won't be removing the wax or reusing these bottles (not to mention I'll probably give a few away), so if I do this again, I'll make sure to acquire these bomber bottles on the cheap. How did the pot respond to the wax? Easy to get the wax off the pot when you were done? I don't bottle so maybe I'll just drizzle wax over the top of a keg. I kid, I kid!! The pot of water heated the aluminum can with the wax pellets. Thankfully, it was easy enough to keep the wax in the aluminum can and none dripped into the pot of water. I saw some videos where they were heating the can of wax over a flame but thought this was a bit more practical. When I was done, I just chucked the aluminum can in the trash after it cooled, with the remaining re-solidified wax. Here's another shot right at the beginning.

Reminds me of dipping bottles at Maker’s Mark.

Oh, cool. Yeah I hadn't thought of that. Nice work, Megary.
