simontuntelder Report post Posted January 6, 2014 First of all don't be worried. What you're experiencing is known as bloom. To me it's a sign of quality. It's basically the wax, tallow, grease and fat surfacing. You should be able to brush it off using a horsehair brush or a soft cotton cloth. Some customers will appreciate it, if they know about bloom. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
