If we're going to be remembering our chemistry, we best also remember that 
wax, as a lipid, isn't water soluble.  It will never dissolve.  Your posse 
should have to rely on subtlety.  Do something to the golem that would 
destroy the wax, but not hurt the man, like lure it out into the hot midday 
sun.  A man will do just fine in hundred degree heat (provided he gets 
enough water, that is), but a wax sculpture...
