Price for Beeswax

[luckydunny]

Hi

I have made a small quantity of Beeswax polish -with real turpentine and put into 100ml tins. The contents weigh 35 grams each tin.

I did not add any other type of wax or ingredients.

Question:- What do forum members charge for Beeswax polish sales?

Thanks in advance for any replies that will help me set a fair price.

Never sold it but once bought some from another member in a 'plastic' tin (If you see what I mean!! Adter a few weeks I went to use it and it had melted through the plastic and had ruined the surface it was sat on.... just thought I would throw in this word of caution!!!

20 years ago I was charging £2-50.

I was very disappointed when a polish shop opened up near work a few years back - seemed to be just full of foreign food!!!

Thanks PH I was thinking of around £4.

When putting weight on label I assume that is intended for contents only and not tin + Label + Wax?

The reason for asking is I cannot understand how people are getting such a "heavy" weight of wax in a 100ml tin??

My Tin, Label @ 39 gram + wax @ 35 gram = total weight 74 gram in 100ml tin.

If you think of honey, the weight on the jar is x grams, which obviously does not include the weight of the jar and lid.

So net weight not gross.

Thanks PH - thought as much but still confused as to how some people can get so much polish in a 100ml tin!!!

Pretty sure you have to put an official warning label on anything containing turps....
