Members St8LineGunsmith Posted July 6, 2013 Members Report Posted July 6, 2013 Another vote for toilet bowl rings. It's what I make my wax/oil finish with too. And my burnishing wax. If it's too sticky and soft melt it 50/50 with paraffin and it gets more manageable. Which is also what the burnishing wax recipe is. Yep that is exactly what I use for burnishing and wax finishing. I never tried hardening it up with paraffin tho but it sounds like a good idea because it can be a bit of a mess when using it for slicking the edges however it penetrates good too I have also in the past used s block of paraffin for burnishing the edges too and works well Quote No Matter Where Ya Go There Ya Are.

Members Procyon650 Posted July 27, 2013 Members Report Posted July 27, 2013 Interesting idea that, a toilet wax seal. I'll have to try that since I have a new one around somewhere. Now I just have to find it. Quote Carpe Pisca!!
Members Jasonlboyd Posted September 13, 2013 Members Report Posted September 13, 2013 Can I get more info on using the toilet bowl ring for finishing? Quote
Members Ski Posted September 13, 2013 Members Report Posted September 13, 2013 Stuff lasts forever. Bought maybe a dozen 1inch square blocks 3 years ago, still using my first block. Found other uses for it like mixing it with paraffin and linseed oil to treat metal tools like axe's etc.. Quote Warm regards, Mark Skiba

Get a new one though, a used one may be cheaper but tends to be very icky. Old post, but wow! You learn something new on leatherworker.net every day! Pure beeswax! I presume it would be treated in some way or another to 'stabilise' it?
