Dorothy trying to be "green". Whatever solution you use it is probably best if you can leave the steel molds in an oven for s short time to remove excess wax before the final step. This will decrease the amount of solvent or soap you need to use. Or you can just heat in soapy water, allow to cool, remove wax on surface of fluid and then quick rinse. Barry
