QuestionWhen the honey and sugar wax is melted it's too hot to put on skin, and when it cools down it becomes rock hard. If I do get some on, it doesn't stick to cotton strips at all. What do I do?Community AnswerIf it doesn't stick to cotton strips, you should try using wooden stirrers (similar to the handles of a popsicle). Honey and sugar don't take long to cool so it may become hard very fast, so while it cools, continuously stir it around. As soon as it becomes a temperature that you find comfortable, use it immediately and do not forget to keep on stirring.
