Well, Ron, I cut it open yesterday and soaked it in mineral spirit overnight. I was hoping it would dissolve that wax.
It did soften it but dissolve it did not.
So I used various stuff to clean the wax out of the can and an Exacto knife to clean paper and wax from the bottom.

The results are above. First I cut at the upper depression boundary, where it expands to the rest of the can.
The thought behind it being, that I could take the can, sand it a little so the narrowing at the bottom that used to be that upper boundary where I cut will widen and the bottom cylinder will just go in, at which point it could be glued.
It will look like this (the cap has not yet been stuffed)
