You could warm the paraffin in an oven overnight to melt it so that the heat of fusion is not extracted from the embedding center paraffin tanks when it is added as melted paraffin at 58-65 degrees.

Good Afternoon, Recently we starting taking the daily maximum and minimum temperature ranges for our embedding center paraffin tanks. The melting point of our wax is 56oC and our current temperature range is 58 to 65oC. The problem we are having is that when we add wax, the temp dips below the range until it melts. If we turn it up, it exceeds the max range. Any suggestions?
