Description
More about Beeswax:
Beesworks Beeswax is 100% natural beeswax pellets. A bee consumes an estimated 6-10 lbs (3-4.5 kg) of honey for each pound of the wax it secretes. After honey removal, the comb is melted to produce the beeswax. Our beeswax is filtered to remove impurities. Beeswax pellets are the most convenient and easiest form of beeswax to use. Pellets are very easy to measure in the precise portions needed for the many applications that use beeswax. The uniform size of the pellets allow for quick and easy melting. Beeswax has a high melting point range, of 144 to 149 °F (62 to 65 °C). If beeswax is heated above 185 °F (85 °C) discoloration occurs.
Additional Ways to Use Beeswax:
- Use to wax linen (thread) before sewing or use it to bring the edges of your leather journal to a high gloss.
