Default Get rid of wax after copper plating

Hello,
I finally got the acid copper plating to work on some brown wax using the Silvaspray!

Now, i have tried several different methods to get rid of the wax.
These include:
1. melting the wax in my oven, now the oven stinks every time i use it and the house smelled like wax.
2. using a hand held torch to melt the wax, the wax caught on fire.
3. using boiling water on the stove, what happens that the wax melts out great, but it then adheres to the front of the piece, to the nice copper i have.

If anyone could offer some suggestions on how to get rid of the wax easily, i would appreciate it.
