The first time I used mine (self installed spigot) I turned it on, added wax and waited a few minutes until the wax melted.........Turned my head for a second and the wax was pouring all over my kitchen floor (hardwood).............Never thought about the spigot being in the open position! What a bloody mess! 1st and last time I ever did that! Love the spigot once I leaned open vs. closed! Dave
