Are you sure it is wax? You could freeze them, it solidifiys the wax and then just use your fingernail and scrape it off. I can't think of a wax tart! If it is some kids of glue stuff, you can use goo be gone. Look at the label you might be able to use it on wax also.
I'm positive it's wax. A wax tart is kind of like a scented candle, without the wick - it goes in a warmer. So my scissors smell pretty anyway.
Thanks Daylilydawn - I hadn't even thought of just hot water. :roll:
I think I would try the freezer. It will probably just pop off. You do that with gum and that has to be stickier than the wax. Or set an icecube on it for a while then just pop it off. You may still need to scrape it with something like a credit card that won't scratch.
