    If you are wanting to re-melt it into a different container, top up the old tin or similar, then 80-90°C on the stove top will do it, heat applied SLOWLY. I'd avoid an open flame though as it might flash over? Just a note that the specific gravity of this blend is about 0.83. The piece of handee-towel on the top for shipment is just to stop the block from rattling around, I guesss you would have figured that out anyway.
