>>2730790>melts at relatively low tempsRelative to what? American cheese doesn't start melting until like 150°F, which is way higher than necessary to cause pretty bad skin burns from persistent exposure given its heat capacity and conductivity.
>beewax melts at the same temp as American goyslop cheeseBeeswax melts at slightly lower temperatures than american cheese, but more importantly it doesn't conduct heat anywhere near as well and has a much lower heat capacity, so there's far less peak and sustained heat transfer to skin.
Melting wax onto your body might leave your skin slightly red. Melting american cheese (or other cheese-like plastics) onto your body will leave you with actual burns and blisters.
