How long can I use this before it begins over-heating? I'm wanting to use to bodypaint ..... Thanks :)

I'm not sure of an exact amount of time, I've used it for around two hours sometimes more. But if you turn it off between colors or cleaning, I don't think it should get too hot. I do have mine off the carpet though, I would recommend allowing air to flow around it. But overall I haven't burned my hand on it or anything like that. I hope that helps you.

The only temperature settings for this product are on and off... While this would probably work great at melting wax, etc... It would likely keep them at too hot of temperature for instant use... Remember that food temps have to be kept at hotter temperatures (to kill bacteria, etc in food) than what body butters, scrubs, and lotions would be kept at for comfortable use... I would think you could subject someone to severe burns if you used oils, etc right from the crock... But, I have never tried it... and must admit... Its a clever idea! ... Over time, I could really see a sugar scrub carmelizing in the crock... which would definitely create some issues... The only temperature settings for this product are on and off...

I haven't used the heat function. The normal cycle is 15 minutes - it automatically stops at that point. I bought it because my right arm kept feeling tingly. Used it twice a day for several weeks, but it's probably been 10 days since I've used it & haven't noticed any problems with my arm.

You shouldn't have to heat this at all; in fact, I would never recommend it. The wax should have been the consistency of fresh shoe polish. You should never have to do more than rub an applicator across it to get a nice, smooth paste. You seem to have received old stock; notify Amazon and the seller, and see what they can do about it. This stuff is wonderful to work with and a snap to use. You just didn't get what you paid for.

Depends on what you're using it for. If you're using it to get high you can apply it indoors as long as there are no children on the primesis for at least 24 hours after the time of application. However, I would recommend something a bit easier to manipulate such as paint thinner. Otherwise no I'd probably go outside to spray it. That stuff is strong, pungent, and flammable as hell.

If you keep in the shower, it will melt so fast. I keep mine in a soap travel container. Make sure no water gets in the container or it will just melt faster because the water is trapped. As far as lasting, I just cut my second piece out of my original piece, yesterday. I use it for body and face.

Usually 20 minutes but I have noticed the heat intensifies slighty when used numerous times in a row. That's a good thing :D

We recommend a 30-60 minute body wrap with plastic and either a heating pad or some limited exercise to open the pores. 60 minute or even more if you just slather it on and don't do anything else.

Don't know, but would say it's not the right product. When I spray my house for spiders, I have to be very careful to avoid skin contact from the overspray. I use a respirator mask, long sleeve shirts, long pants, gloves, etc. It "burns" my skin for 2-3 days after inadvertent, light contact.MAYBE, if you let it dry/evaporate completely before contact, it COULD be OK. I suggest you contact the manufacturer. They've been very responsive and helpful for me in the past.

i have only used it on my hands and been very careful not to drip outside the unit - i reuse the wax since i'm the only person using it - i was leaving it on all the time but decided to call the manufacturer about that and was told it would burn out very quickly if i didnt turn the unit off after each use - so now i do that but find i dont have 2 hours to wait each time i want to use it which means i use it less often :( why dont you call them directly, like i did, and ask about cleaning it - i just found this # 1-866-360-3226 and they may be able to direct you to the correct department - they are part of Merck - good luck (PS i like the idea noted below about wiping it after each use) i have only used it on my hands and been very careful not to drip outside the unit - i reuse the wax since i'm the only person using it - i was leaving it on all the time but decided to call the manufacturer about that and was told it would burn out very quickly if i didnt turn the unit off after each use - so now i do that but find i dont have 2 hours to wait each time i want to use it which means i use it less often :( why dont you call them directly, like i did, and ask about cleaning it - i just found this # 1-866-360-3226 and they may be able to direct you to the correct department -... » Read More i have only used it on my hands and been very careful not to drip outside the unit - i reuse the wax since i'm the only person using it - i was leaving it on all the time but decided to call the manufacturer about that and was told it would burn out very quickly if i didnt turn the unit off after each use - so now i do that but find i dont have 2 hours to wait each time i want to use it which means i use it less often :( why dont you call them directly, like i did, and ask about cleaning it - i just found this # 1-866-360-3226 and they may be able to direct you to the correct department - they are part of Merck - good luck (PS i like the idea noted below about wiping it after each use) « Show Less

It might depend on the setting, but I've been able to let it heat up 20-30 mins and use it approximately 30 mins with no problem.

Refrigerate any unused portion when you need to use your body heat melts it quickly. Or just set some out at room temp ahead of time

It all depends on how you are using it. Did not use it all over just the face and by default the hands. Using for that purpose about 3.5 weeks.

I have used this for well over 100 hours and this unit is still running strong. Make sure, if you get one, to do the proper burn in though. Before you use it for the first time; Let it warm up to maximum heat without the crucible in it, and then let it cool off for at least four hours. Subsequently, It you use it, make sure it has that four hour time period before you use it again. This will lengthen the life of your heating coils. This is an excellent purchase; from my experience. I hope this helps.

With a good angled brush and spoolie, you can make it look quite natural. If you use a light, steady hand and good tools, this will be your best friend. It really is excellent. It is not tattoo-like so if you are sweating and it's humid, you may need to watch out for rubbing it off but it doesn't melt off. And I think you should be able to get at least 6-8months (maybe more) with daily use. A little goes a very long way.

Meh. I found the optimum temperature to cure this - in a reasonable time - very warm. The kind of very warm where you can still keep your fingers on it without too much discomfort. If it's too hot to keep your finger on for more than 3 seconds, your gonna melt the surrounding material. If you can control the heat gun to maintain that level of heat over a 15 to 20 minute period, then you're good. Patience is the key. The heat transfer tool?? A joke. You'd be there for a good 2 hours with it.

Hi Tarie,I clean my airbrush every time after been used and I spend less than 5 minutes with warm water. But I am having a hard time to use this airbrush, I can not find the right make up, and the right way to use. I was practicing with water, and with some makeup, but did not work, I think that I was not a good idea to buy this airbrush. I do not know to use it.
