Why do you cool the wax between steps? Could you take the melted filtered wax in the first step and immediately run it through the second filter?

I love my bees wax. It is best to wax thread for hand sewing.😅

Might I suggest cheesecloth on the final pour and it usually does the trick in two renders like you are saying

1 of these days you will have a stopped up drain and the plumber will say that it looks like wax that has clogged up your drain!!! You need to dump it outside or run it thru your paint filter before letting it go down the drain.
