I bought a thing to heat wax to use on facial hair and i tried twice and can't get it to work!?

Question

I wax my upper lip and decided that it would be easier to do it myself rather than go to a salon every few weeks. So, i followed the directions and melted the wax. Then, i put it on my upper lip and i put the piece of fabric on it. It seemed like it was working fine, but the wax just wouldn't stick to the fabric or the hair. It seemed like it wasn't drying so I just had to keep washing off the wax and it didn't do anything. Does anybody know what to do?
