I just tried this with a smaller batch, using the 5 gs/3 crayon ratio, and it worked great! However, it seemed that it was just a little too thick to be comparable to the other commercial bottle waxes. I think that next time I bottle, I'm going to try a 10/7 ratio and report back in with some pics. For those who are wondering, I also used a soup can setting directly on an electric range element. I turned it on 5, for whatever that is worth; the crayons melted before the glue sticks, and the whole melting process took less than 10 minutes. I had to stir it with an old knife to get it to mix.
Peeling off the bottle was easy with the 5/3 ratio. it wasn't stuck on hard, but it had a confident hold.
