When the encaustic paints have hardened (allow at least an hour), you can pop them out the muffin tray for easy storage until you're ready to paint with them. If they're stuck tight, use a little heat to melt just enough to pop them loose.

Now you've got your paints prepared and ready for your next encaustic painting session!
