I've been thinking recently about cleaning the wax I've been using. How easy is it to get the puck out of the pot? I tried halfheartedly one time when it was dry and it wasn't budging. I read a suggestion online about pouring in some water when it's melted. The theory is that the grime settles down in the water and the puck of wax cools on top. Haven't tried yet though. Also, I added a powder of additives to my wax when I started. Is there any risk that I'll be scraping that away too? Maybe I'm over thinking it...

Fondriest is still free for sure. Ribble is gone and Condor is provisionally spoken for.

I've got three frames that I want to shift. They are borderline tip-worthy, but I thought I'd just check if anyone has any use. I personally wouldn't ride any of them on the road. Would be ok for turbo though I suppose.
They were all left at mine by various friends who needed somewhere to keep them or wanted me to help strip them.
1 - Carbon Ribble Gran Fondo - 58
This is easily the best condition of the three.
The headline issue with it is a spot on the seat stay where the tyre has worn the carbon away. Friend was told by bike shop not to ride it any more. Everything else is fine.These next two have some pretty significant issues.
2 - Old Condor RC Italia - 54
Has all sorts of bubbling/corrosion. Fork dropout is bent and you can barely get a wheel in.
3 - Carbon Fondriest TF.3 - 58
Seatpost is stuck. Also, just found two small cracks while wiping down. One on the seat tube and one on the down tube near the bottle cage boss.

That was me with a non-forum friend (who I think I was with last time I saw you out that way). Good to see you both!

Yup, that was me!
Great, thanks all. I'll experiment tonight and see how things go
