How do make the wax as clean as it can get. I strained 1kg through a stocking and there is still some dark sediment at the bottom of the block.

2nd can you over heat it some started to boil but I caught it fast as I do not leave it unattended.

What works for me:

If you let the wax harden in a bucket of hot water til it cools the dark debris will usually be only on the bottom of the wax slab........then just scrape it off with a hot knife.

boiling it just makes the debris smaller and harder to strain. Also if it boils you may end up with a fire. gently warm it til it melts. I use an electric turkey roaster and it does just fine.
