Members tossik Posted June 4, 2014 Members Report Posted June 4, 2014 Video: What do you think the person used as a mix that he melted wax with? Quote
Members Dwight Posted June 4, 2014 Members Report Posted June 4, 2014 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 Quote
Members Camerius Posted June 5, 2014 Members Report Posted June 5, 2014 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. Quote
