Removing Glow Plugs With Wax

Just wondering if anyone here ever attempted heating the aluminum head around a stuck glow plug with a torch then apply candle wax rather than pb blaster or some other penetrant.
I have used this method in the past with success on seized bolts. the melted wax seems to "wick" into the threads similar to solder flux when soldering copper pipes.
