Cleaning beeswax for lube...etc

[jtmattison]

I did some research and found a easy way to clean beeswax.

In the past I just boiled it in water for a while and then let it harden so I could remove it from the water. All of the junk would be in the water or on the bottom of the wax cake.

I found that if you use the same method but add a couple teaspoons of vinigar to the water it removes a LOT more impurities. I found this info on a beeswax website and it works great.

I'll send ya mail. I'd like to know the site. My business uses tons of beeswax, so I have quite a supply to play with. I keep the "dirty" stuff for personal use and would like to clean some of it. Thanks for the post.
