Recycling brood wax?

[Ely]

No ... and it's really easy to make ...

Nice. I'll have to give it a go when I've got enough wax. Thanks

You just pour the melted polish straight in to the tin and let it set in the tin .. you can add a little lavender oil for a fragranced version or just leave it natural for a beeswax scent. There are lots of recipes about - you basically need a softening agent, as beeswax on it's own is too hard. There are variants that use chopping board oil, turpentine and boiled linseed oil - in various proportions - but don't use Linseed oil on its own with the beeswax as it tends to stay sticky for a long time. If you want a longer lasting shine you can also add a small percentage of Carnuba wax.
