Typically, your method is what makes the wax smooth. If you usually melt the wax in a pot, place a concave-shaped metal screen in the pot to strain any large impurities. However, my favorite method for achieving a smooth surface is to use a hand-held butane torch and quickly, consistently move over and level the surface.

Why not just buy sculpting wax? There are different kinds that can suit your specific needs. There is a store in NYC called 'The Compleat Sculptor' and they sell all kinds of sculpting stuff - you can order from their website:
