How to line pottery with beeswax?
#12
Right- paraffin wax, for example, has a melting temperature of about 60C (140F), and what burns is hydrogen gas released by heating, so indeed too much, especially with an open flame is not the ideal to be sure.

I use the double boiler method myself, an old coffee can cut down holding the wax...
