Abstract:
A paraffin refill or package system or article wherein the paraffin mixture is provided in a large total volume which has preselected portions or sub-volumes which are defined by a divider structure. The sub-volumes or portions are preferably cube shaped. In use, a single carton containing the paraffin refill or system is opened. One or more portions or cubes of the system are added to the bath apparatus reservoir and heated. The user then observes the resultant liquefied mix to determine whether additional portions of the system are necessary. Any remaining portions of the system are saved in the carton. The paraffin refill or package system is made by a method basically comprising the steps of placing a divider structure in a molding container, adding a mixture of melted paraffin wax and liquid mineral oil to the container; cooling the mixture or permitting the mixture to cool to a predetermined temperature so that it solidifies; and placing the solidified mixture and divider structure in a package or a paraffin bath.
