Removing the wax seal?

[Ballast Point Spirits]

We are dipping our bottles in a bottle sealing wax (same product as the big boys) and have had trouble with the removal of the wax after it hardens. I have tried the reinforced tape idea, but with the thicker coat of wax (which I like) it does not seem to work. The tape also takes a lot of time to apply. Is there an actual product made for the easy removal of wax? I thought about wire, but that seems like it would be hard to apply quickly. I have had many bottles from bigger spirits producers with the same problem and ended up shucking the wax off with a knife, so maybe there is no solution...Any ideas??
