I've bought the 4 pack of wooden spoons from the dollar tree and it one time for each wax/color/fo combo....since they are cheap i've bought a bunch of them. Clean up, make a phone call to your local paper mill and place a huge order for paper towels Yup you will go through a lot of them. I use them to wipe out my pour pot right after i pour, wipe out the presto pot after i'm done with my wax, and i line my cookie sheet when i put my molds and such in the oven Clean up of molds and the pour pot, i put them in the oven at 185 for roughly 20 minutes (depends on the amount of wax left) so that it melts off and usually runs onto the paper towels. then use paper towels to wipe out the remnents. I've also bought lots of hand towels and a few bath towels from the dollar tree as well (cheap therefore disposable) I put one hand towel under the presto pot to catch drips from the spout and when i bull a brain fart and forget to close the spout. I put the bath towels under my cookie sheet where i set my molds for pouring, and one on the floor under where the spout of the presto pot is to catch drips.... That's my clean up, my wife thanks me for not coloring her floor and over
