Home Improvement Tip #1 - Don't do this.

When you spend a weekend painting your entry way hall for a party you are having, don't put two long stemmed candles on the hall table and then blow the wax all over your freshly painted wall. It will bum you out.


Anyone know how to get wax off Edgecomb Grey paint? Any tips would be appreciated.

    a hot iron and paper towels or an old washcloth you don't care about.. If this isn't self explanitory, you put the cloth over the wax and iron it.. The wax will soak into the cloth.. Then if there is any remaining stain, you can touch it up with some paint.. I've had a candle fall on the carpet, a jacket, anexpensive rug and this worked every time! Good luck!

    Looks like many favor Stacia's solution above.
