Do you think if I put my metal pouring jug straight on to one of these:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-ARNIE-SINGLE-ELECTRIC-HOB-HOT-PLATE-HOTPLATE-1000W_W0QQitemZ390072886580QQcmdZViewItemQQimsxZ20090724?IMSfp=TL090724151002r21927#ht_2742wt_877

it would be ok? I only have a gas hob and have been putting water in a pan and then the jug in that. I thought getting an electric plate might be a bit safer. What do you think?

I don't think that would be any good... You'd probably scorch the wax, it really does need to be heated indirectly.

I thought that might be true. Oh well.

I'm thinking about using a slow cooker for M&P melting. I've seen one with a keep warm function (Morphy Richards) which might be useful for wax melting?
My currrent one takes a while to melt shea and coconut for soaping and seems quite gentle on "low".

Yeah, I thought about using the slow cooker that I use exclusively for soap but I figured it would take too long. I'm inpatient.
