 ... This makes all aspects of control easier. Wax can only penetrate so deep into the pitex. The deeper it penetrates, the longer it lasts. The problem with the express wax is that you can't do anything to make it penetrate deeper and last longer. With a hot wax the heat of the iron opens up the pores in the base and allows the wax to penetrate in. Leaving the wax to cool before scraping it off gives it time to soak in.
