For the beeswax enthusiast and perfect for home DIY projects! Great for people who always want beeswax on hand for its versatility and utility. Beeswax can be used in many ways: as a shop lubricant, tarnish preventer, bowstring wax, leather conditioner, wood finish & sealer. Beeswax is an essential part of batik, pysanky egg decoration, sewing, lost wax casting, encaustic painting, and musical instrument creation. Hand poured 100% pure beeswax. Melting Bulk Beeswax: - If using a double boiler, fill an inch or two of water in the bottom boiler and place wax in the top boiler. Melt over medium/low to medium setting. The lower the setting, the less the wax will be affected or altered by the heat. - If using a slow cooker, set to low/medium heat and place wax into the bottom of the slow cooker. The lower the setting, the less the wax will be affected or altered by the heat. - The melting point of beeswax is approximately 145 degrees F (62-65 degrees C)
