[Histonet] paraffin problem

[Kristen Broomall]

This works with candle wax on fabric: place plain brown paper (like from a
paper bag) over the area & apply a hot iron to it. The wax sticks to the
paper & comes off the fabric. (also worked once with regular paper for me).

Good Luck!

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get paraffin off of clothes.  I
recently bought a pair of corduroy pants and spilled paraffin down them
while
in the lab and know of no way to get the paraffin out.  Suggestions would be
greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
