Dear mjtobia,

Hi

Yes I will be relisting but not with free shipping because I have reaaly taken a lost by giving a reduce price.

Thanks

Karen

I`m surprised she didn`t think about this before selling 200 plus cans. :werd:

I gladly would of paid shipping

I don`t think she had imagined taking such a big hit

For those who might miss out on this auction. eShine has a limited supply available. It`s more per can than this eBay auction, but depending were you are, you might pick up savings in shipping costs. Here is the link:

Just got 2 more!

**GlossyTundra** · 09-05-2009, 12:02 PM

Got 3 of my 5 in the mail today, tins come in perfect with no discoloration.

**agpatel** · 09-05-2009, 12:06 PM

They come in good condition other than looking like pudding from the heat, but nothing a little cool down does not normally fix. Got my second tin and it has not hardened up yet....hmm....even put it in the fridge for a bit and did not get hard still a little on the soft side.

When the liquid is properly mixed again leave it to re-solidify. It`s like a double boiler set up. It works. :xyxthumbs

Thanks for the idea. I just happen to have a small pot that`s the perfect diameter for the tin to sit in with the lip of the tin resting on the top lip of the pot, making a perfect double boiler. I completely melted mine, stirred it thoroughly, and put it in a cool place to set back up. I`ll be interested to see how it looks after it cools.

Wonder if there`s any concern about ingredients separating or settling using this method?

I let the wax cool slowly in my basement and this process worked PERFECT. My tin now looks like you`d expect if it came fresh from the factory. If your tin looks like watery pudding, as mine did, I can second the recommendation for the "double boiler" treatment. :2thumbs:

Thanks for the tip JimmyCutlass!!!

I`ve got 5 more tins on the way.

No problem guys. I might as well pass along as much detailing knowledge as I`ve got (as I`ve soaked up quite a bit here).:2thumbs:

Is there an official word on this not affecting it? Mine came in gooey and wet as well (so did my NXT2 to my surprise). I don`t want to double boiler it to find out that it will reduce its effectiveness or something.

I PMd Mike Phillips to see if he could provide any insight.

**XRL** · 09-08-2009, 04:17 PM

I got impatient and did it anyways. I figured that if the wax can melt and make that weird form on its own I can do the same thing to it.

**jopa489** · 09-08-2009, 04:29 PM

Got mine today, looking forward to testing it out!

That`s what I figured. Didn`t see how it could make it worse than it was. Mine looks totally normal now, and it was a mess before I did the double boiler treatment.
