Bees wax bar mould

[jimbeekeeper]

I am wanting one of these, but can only find it for sale at the usual suspects shop for £5.62 (inc p&p, should have added it to my last order!) Any where else?

If you find it - please...let me know!!

Sorry if thats a daft question.

Well I could always go into the market of making wax casts of "IT" I am sure I could get more money for a cast of "IT"

Might be a bit hot to make a cast on me

about average for a beekeeper then

Unless 'it' gets stung.

Ask Stephen H, he recites a story about a chap who needed to take a leak.............that brings tears to ones eyes, in more ways than one.......

I think that Jim realises that good wax ingots might be worth their weight in gold before long. LoL.

 

[Dishmop]

Have you looked at cheap plastic cutlery draw inserts?

or make one from a bit of thin aluminium, or bits of wood and line it with foil.


Cut out the shaded bits if using aluminium sheet.

Make a cardboard pattern to practice with.

I'll re-phrase the question.

What do you want to make wax ingots for?

Reason been is as Hombre picks out.

All of the wax I have been saving up I was going to use in wax exchange to the "Usual suspects" place. But been a tight (Frugal) Yorkshire Man, I note that on a certain internet auction site you can easly get £1.20 per 30g (i.e 1 bar) so that is nearly 10 times profit

I think Dishmop is right about making a simple mould

 

[hedgerow pete]

the mould set i have is made from fibre glass and is brilliant, lovely and strong to use and abuse.

jimbeekeeper the selling point you want to do with the wax bars is not only bright yellow wax but i sell all the differant shades of wax to a carpenter friend of mine, in fact the one colour he does not want is bright yellow.

also at a pound for a bar that means that wax is roughly £33 per kilo on ebay . its a shame you can buy it at kbs at £5 per kilo in blocks

 

[Silly Bee]

Can't uou use those small plastic containers Goat Cheese is sold in?

 

[oliver90owner]

The unfortunate fact is that all these 'alternative' moulds do not result in the product having "BEESWAX" embossed on it!
