| How can I remove candle wax from my LEGO® pieces? From Kevin Wilson: ! Put it in the freezer, which will make the wax very brittle and it should come off much easier. From Gary Istok: ! First freeze and then break away the large pieces. Then try using discarded women’s panty hose/nylons to scrub away the wax. Panty hose should not scratch the LEGO. From Beth Reiten: ! I’d strongly agree with the freezer folks, with one minor addition. While still cold, if it looks like you’re going to have a dye mark problem, try some baby oil on a tissue directly on the dye mark. Oil picks up wax soluble dye quite well... if it’s on something that can handle oil (I don’t recommend this technique on the latex paint in your house!) The problem with heat is that most candle waxes -- other than the 100% paraffin used in tea lights -- is that the lowest temperature that it’ll melt at is around 125 - 150 F. Sounds like that’s too high for Legos! |
