gritty wax problem

[TodesSchatten]

I put the wax from my crush and strain frames in to a SS bowl and used it as a lid on a pot of slow cooked soup when is cooled it had a texture of brown sugar gritty but stuck together . I tried to add water to remove the layer of honey that have formed and reheat it to try to fix it but now I have a sugar grain powdered wax . can any one tell me what I did wrong and how to fix it?

I would add an equal volume of water and re-melt. The wax will float to the top.

Any ideas of where I can sell extra wax?
