Answer 1

Scrape away very gently with a dull knife as much of the wax as you can then hold a dryer over the wax residue which has been set on medium do not hold to closely as this can burn the wood and cause it to crack as you are melting the wax lay a piece of paper towel over the wax and press lightly while still heating the wax do this until removed Good Luck !

Answer 2

Heat it with a hair dryer, and gently remove as much as you can with a rag. Then finish up with a Mr. Clean Magic eraser. I love those things! They even remove permanent hair color!

Answer 3

Paint Thinner works really good at removing wax. It might take the finish off the chair though.
