What Wax Mix Was Used In This Video?

What do you think the person used as a mix that he melted wax with?

[Dwight]

First guess: virgin beeswax and neatsfoot oil.

I make mine using a 50/50 mix by weight, . . . blended together in a glass jar heated in hot water, . . . poured into muffin papers, . . . made into little cakes.

Mine looks very similar to his, . . . hope this helps.

May God bless,

Dwight

Says on the YouTube video that it is a mix of beeswax, olive oil and orange oli. No measurements are given. However, I use the same mix as Dwight in my own 50/50 oil and wax mix that I got from a SCA leatherworker, that are doing traditional periodical projects from the Middleages/early Renaissance.

If you want, I can dig out his three types of wax mixes that he uses for his work. Just let me know.
