After the frothiness has appeared, keep mixing
it occasionally for 5-8 minutes and start to
take the pot off the stove and wait for the
bubbles to disappear. Check the color and see
the consistency of the wax. If it is very sappy
and syrupy, and the color is a dark auburn or
dark brownish, it is ready. If it is not like
this, put it back on the stove and cook it some
more.

Once you take your wax off the stove, it's
recommended to pour it into a jar immediately.
If action is not taken then the wax will stick
to the pot and end up ruining the pot or
causing a major cleanup later. Find an empty
jar that you won't be needing and let it cool
for 5-20 minutes. The wax should be nearly
solid, but still malleable. Liquid wax will
burn you.
