It is hard to see the wax in his videos. Here is my version. I was experimenting with ‘Dax waxing’ fig cuttings to root and it worked fine.
I used a regular mouth mason jar but a wide mouth may be better. There are 2 lids: one with a hole to hold a thermometer while waiting for the right temp and the other to put on top of that to seal it up for storage (thermometer removed).
This view better shows the wax on top which I think is melted in this shot. Dax recommends 1 part beeswax to 4-5 parts paraffin. It is pink-ish because my beeswax from sealing mushroom logs came that color. I bring it up to temp slowly and do the scions for the day and let it cool down. The wax on the scions dries very quickly.
