Ta. Next stop tack shop! Atb Daz.
Hi again guys. Going back to the beeswax and paraffin mix, do you use flakes and also where is a good place to source them from? My wife has seen beeswax flakes in hobby craft used for making candles. Would this be the same stuff albeit poss' a bit more expensive? Cheers Daz.
you can get beeswax off evil bay and the grate it to save money.
Are there any beekeepers local to you?
Ask them - they'll have loads of the stuff (some time ago I bought a carrier bag full of beeswax from a beekeeper for ten quid).

Recently found a better recipe consisting of petroleum jelly and bees wax in a ratio of 3 to 1. I tried it on a leather belt i had just made and it gives a lovely supple finish.

Thanks fellas, the neighbor of the house i'm working at this week keeps bees! Bonus! i'll be popping round tomorrow then. Sorry Alan was the ratio 3 parts beeswax to 1 pet' jelly? Atb.
NO its the other way round. 3 jelly 1 wax. 25% bees wax.
Less wax gives a softer finish and more wax for a harder finish.
