I realize that, I am trying fitting a boro sculpture on my wax investment which in turn makes hot wax run off on to my sculpture.

What kind of wax? If it's jeweler's carving wax, there is a solvent/polish for that specifically (expensive), but I would expect ordinary Goo Gone solvent to work well. Grocery store cleaning aisle ~ Good luck!

Couldn't you just drop it in boiling water?

What kind of wax?
paraffin and bees wax can be heated and then simply wipe it off with a piece of news print or scrap cloth.

Try freezing and chipping if it's only on certain places you want it gone, then goof off/goo gone, in a pinch I think gasoline will work, or something of that nature. Just watch the fire haZard!!!
