an old (clean) tupperware container?

or wrap it in clingfilm till you find summit to put it in?

 

[aliengravy]

yes but ittll just be in a block in the tupperware, and you cant rub the cloth in it like you could the jar :'( so annoyed!!

also how do you apply it with your hand?

Take a small chunk...Warm it in your hands till you can't see it. Then using the balls of your hard rub it on...You go through alot tho! And imo a app pad is better for a consistant finish.

I quite often apply dodo juice by hand, you do use more, and it's quite messy though.

I would guess any sealed container should do.

Will there not be any little bits of glass in it?

Dont some people sell the empty pots when they use up all the wax on detailing world?

I've metled loads of waxes and mixed my own and they've never gone bitty as you call it .

Is it just the dodo wax that goes bitty ?

I'd put the wax in an empty soup / bean can . Put the can in a pan half filled with water , simmer and melt it down that way . Then you can put it into a container of your choice .

+1 Not the best thought out idea using a glass jar .

About 32 quid .

f**k me!! Thats like getting the Polish to wash the car 6 times! Bugger that for a jar of earwax.

I am sure someone on DW dropped one and was able to get a replacement empty pot by contacting the makers (they are now plastic btw).

 

[aliengravy]

Ive emailed them

 

[aliengravy]

They have replied and offered me a jar half price! not sure i can afford it though!!

 

[aliengravy]

LOL MELTING!!

lol, i did exsactly the same thing about 6 months ago, first time i used it, dropped it. put it in a plastic chineese pot. its ok, but has gone slightly dryer. i just spray a dab of detailer spray on it every now and again. Agree with the glass jar being a stupid idea.

 

[Reyes]

Get rid of it. There will be glass bits in it and it will f**k your paintwork up. I did it last summer..
