Using microwave wax for the first time :-0

This weekend I'm going to try Nad's Brazilian & bikini wax. It's the first time I'm waxing with stuff from a jar as usually I use Veet type wax strips.  I've been procrastinating trying it as I feel like it could go wrong easily. Am planning to do bikini line and underarms, places I'm pretty comfortable using wax strips and epilator on.
Is it as straightforward as following the instructions on the packet? What lessons have you learned from experience that you wish you'd known much earlier?

Test the temperature every 10 seconds or so! If it's too cold pop it in for another 10s and test the temp before just microwaving it for another minute. That stuff goes from luke warm to volcanic lava in the blink of an eye.

I've used it before with no issues. As has been said make sure that you test the temperature regularly. In between using it I keep the container in a bowl/sink of warm/hot water. This just means it doesn't cool down as fast so you don't have to go back to the microwave. But that might just be me from being too slow. Underarms I find too difficult so am currently getting IPL'd, but I find it super easy to get going on the bikini line or legs.
