I never read this the first time around. I use a piece of tile, 18 x 18, to pour votives and tarts on. There are always some spills and the wax pops right off of the tile. Also, I can heat the tile with my heat gun if I need something to cool more slowly. At the end of the day I take an old metal spatula and scrape the tile to get any larger pieces of wax off, then I use the heat gun and papertowels for finish cleaning it. Also, when the wax needs to cool before adding fo, I set the pour pot on the tile and it helps to cool it down.
