A bucket works well, since you'll need to dip your whole hand into it. Fill it up most of the way, but leave room at the top to avoid spilling. You can add food coloring to the water to color your wax hands. This only has a minor effect, but may be a better coloring option if you don't want to use non-food-safe dyes or crayons in your wax-heating pan. Follow the instructions above to melt the wax, then wait for it to cool. Touching hot wax can cause serious burns, so it's best to use a candy thermometer or candle-making thermometer to be sure the wax is safe. The wax is ready once it has cooled to 110 degrees Fahrenheit (43ºC) or slightly lower. If a solid film has formed over the wax, return the pan to heat again to melt it, then let it cool again. Cover your hand and wrist with the lotion, but do not rub it into your skin. You should still be covered with white smears of lotion. This will make it easy to slip the wax hands off without breaking them. Dip one hand in the bucket of water up to your wrist. Shake the excess water off your hand. Briefly dip the same hand in the warm wax and pull it out again. To make removal easy, only dip up to the base of your hand, before it starts narrowing to your wrist. Choose a hand shape before dipping and keep your hand in that position for the rest of this method. Dip your hand back and forth between the water and wax. Each time, you'll add another layer of wax to your hand. An average-sized wax hand is ready after eight dips, but a small child's hand may be ready after three to four. End with a water dip. This will help adhere the final layer of wax to the layers beneath it. Gently loosen the wax hand by sliding your un-waxed pinky finger under the wrist. Once it starts to loosen, dip it under the water level to help it glide off. If the hand is stuck, poke a hole in the wax fingertips with a pencil tip to release the suction. Dip it in water one last time to help the wax harden. While the wax is still soft, use your fingers to smooth out any bumps or tears. Once the wax is air-dried, the job is done. Optionally, you can dip the wrist end of the hand into the warm wax, then fold the edges inward to make a sturdy base for the hand to stand on. This may not work if the wax wrist is torn or short.

Some topics and projects will call for primary research, which means that you'll collect the data yourself. If you've got a really localized topic--like the obesity problem at your University, for instance--you might want to consider creating a short questionnaire or other way of analyzing data of concern to your project. No surveys or questionnaires get to everyone. How many would be enough to get a good sense of the issue. Will it mean anything to gather opinions about obesity form 20 guys in the locker room? Everyone on your dorm floor? 300 people at the football game? Be conscious of bias. Aim for a somewhat distributed mix of men and women, of different ages, socioeconomic backgrounds, and places of birth. If you're after opinions, a questionnaire is the best and most efficient way of collecting data, but it might not be particularly applicable to your topic.  If you're interested in food habits and the availability of junk food in cafeterias, consider posting up beside the lunch line a few days a week and counting the number of students who forego the full lunches in favor of deserts, sodas, or candy. Keep a running tally. Interviews might be good if you have access to experts or other parties involved directly in the topic you're researching. If you want to learn about school lunches, talk to the lunch workers, the principal of your school, or other people who may be involved. Let them know what you're researching and explain the project before talking to them. Once you've picked a method of collection, distribute your surveys, observe your behaviors, or conduct your interviews and collect your research. Analyze the research and summarize your findings in a way that you'll be able to use it for your research. If your hypothesis about the research ends up being wrong, don't fret. This in and of itself can be a good source of information to present in a project, displaying your commitment to finding out "the truth" of the topic at hand.

Apple cider vinegar may help in treating blistered sunburns by absorbing the heat from the skin and relieving the burning sensation and the pain. The acetic acid and malic acid in vinegar can neutralize sunburns and re-establish pH levels in the affected area. This prevents infection by making the skin environment inhospitable to microorganisms.  To apply apple cider vinegar, mix the vinegar with cold water and soak a soft cloth into the solution and apply or drape it on the affected skin. Vinegar can also be directly sprayed onto the sunburn skin. The use of vinegar is only recommended for skin without abrasions, open cuts or ruptures because it can burn and irritate the skin. Turmeric contains antiseptic and antibacterial properties that may help ease the pain and inflammation caused by the sunburn and blistering. Here are some tips to apply turmeric powder:  Combine turmeric powder with water or milk to make a paste. Then, apply it on your blisters for 10 minutes before rinsing it off gently. Mix turmeric powder, barley, and yogurt to produce a thick paste and cover the affected skin. Let it sit for about half an hour, and then wash it off with cold water. Tomato juice can lessen the burning sensation, reduce the redness of the affected area, and improve the healing of the sunburn.  To apply, combine 1/4 cup of tomato paste or juice to 1/2 cup of buttermilk. Apply the mixture on your burned skin for about half an hour and wash it gently with cold water. Alternatively, add two cups of tomato juice to your bathwater and bathe your body in it for 10 to 15 minutes. For instant pain relief, apply mashed raw tomato mixed with crushed ice to the affected area. You could even try eating more tomatoes. One study has shown that people who ate five tablespoons of lycopene-rich tomato paste for three months had 25% more protection against sunburn. Raw potatoes may help heat escape from the burned skin, leaving behind cooled skin that hurts less and heals faster.  Blend rinsed, cleaned, and sliced raw potato to produce a paste. Apply it directly to the blisters. Leave it until it dries and gently rinse off with cold water. This remedy can be repeated daily until the blisters are gone and ready to heal. Milk produces a protein film that helps calm the burning sensation of your skin, leaving it cool and allowing for relief and comfort.  Soak a soft cloth in cool water with skim milk and drape it over the burned skin for several minutes. Make sure the milk is cool and not cold. Take it out of the fridge about 10 minutes before you plan to use it.
