Info:
1 lb. Block (5.5 x 1.75 x 3 Inches)
100% pure beeswax, sourced from a local Manitoba producer. Beeswax has a wide number of uses including making candles (which burn cleanly, without drips or harmful emissions, and emit a wonderful honey scent); as a base for natural cosmetics, body and skin lotions, and salves; and to protect textiles, fabrics, or threads from moisture or make them easier to handle, including in arts and crafts, sewing or quilting, or even fly fishing. It can also be used to condition wood (to restore its ability to retain moisture and prevent it from cracking), including cutting boards, butcher blocks, or even wooden furniture or floors.
Product Notes:
Additional Beeswax Uses
Natural beeswax can also be used to coat the screws or nails you put into wooden pieces to prevent the wood from splitting around them; or to coat the rails of stuck drawers or old wooden windows. (You could even use it to wax wooden surf boards or skis, if you can find any of them still around!). Note, in some of these applications, you should mix it with other substances; e.g., bronze statues can be preserved by coating them twice a year with a solution of beeswax and pine turpentine.
