I did try and melt away the wax with the heat of the t ruckmount on it at about 200 (hot as she goes!) Didn't work. Solvent was last resort. The carpet was in a garage room and glued down. Parafin must act like petroleum in olefin. The carpet was toast before I attempted anything. Come to think of it the wax was probably gone but the stain remained and the melting of the carpet surface from her attempt to use and iron made the surface feel like it still had wax in it.

piledriver, I think your last assessment was right on , what was left may have been melted fibers.
