I made a hive steamer today, I will give it a go tomorrow and if all is well I will post a few photos, If it fails, scrap metal !!! If the wax comes out of the spout what is the best thing to use to filter the wax before it runs into a bucket
 
I made a steam cleaner awhile ago and it worked reasonably well. Once the wax had drained out in a large container with water in the bottom which removes the worse of the bits I then scarped it off put it through a solar wax melter and two ply of kitchen tissue to clean it thoroughly and remove all the tiny bits.

I have got the wax into a bucket what next to get it filtered and into moulds
