Why Beeswax...?
The many uses of beeswax:
· Thread Conditioning: Run your thread through a piece of beeswax then smooth the thread to remove excess beeswax. The purpose of doing this is to both make the thread stronger and to reduce its tendency to tangle. This is perfect for any hand sewing, beading, quilting, etc.
· Bow String: All bows (recurve, compound, etc.) benefit from regular applications of beeswax. The tackiness of beeswax helps hold the strings together and give them strength, as well as providing a more secure draw grip.
· Soap: Use approximately 2 tablespoons of beeswax per pound of soap with your other oils or as a superfatting agent. Make a 'milk and honey' soap for a delectable scent using both beeswax and a bit of honey, or just appreciate the properties of beeswax in any fine handmade soap.
· Cosmetics: Beeswax combines with other nourishing oils to make the finest quality salves, lotions, lip balms, etc. Substitute beeswax in all recipes calling for paraffin or other petroleum-based ingredients.
· Water Proofing: This is the oldest known substance used throughout history to waterproof everything from wood to cloth. Work it into the threads, wood, or fabric and remove excess.
· Furniture Polish: Beeswax and lemon is the ultimate fine furniture polish, and one of the reasons we have so many wood furniture treasures hundreds of years old.
· ...and many, many more uses...
