Did any of you over buy on your beeswax binge? I'd like to buy a few pounds, if there is some available.

I do. I bought a bunch in my FWFL phase. I have a 9.1 lb block and smaller chunks that I could put together for smaller weights.
$2.00 a pound plus shipping.
Pm or email me.

I can't imagine ever shooting up nine pounds, until I think back on just how much I HAVE shot....

Just out of curiosity, has anybody tried using the new toilet rings as a lube?

Got to be better than using an old one. Yuck.

I have a small but consistent supply from an apple farmer that keeps bees. For obvious reasons, it's seasonal. Right now I'm down to about 2 lbs.

I could have driven to the foot of the lake and got some from Western Bee, or from a local beekeeper. But, I knew many of you were overly blessed in the big beeswax buying binge, by the generosity of the gentleman sending it out. So, hopefully, I have lightened the burden of a brother of the silver steam, so as he doesn't need to worry about what he was going to do with that extra fifty pounds of raw bullet lube material.

I tried the link, but didn't get through.
I just talked with Mr. Williams this morning. He has about 300lbs of the bottom of the barrel left. I'll be driveing down this week sometime to buy it all. The lube business seems to be going good so far. I was hopeing that he would still have a couple of tons left.

this is the cheapest place online that I have found.
If anyone knows of a large source for less than $2 a pound, please let me know.
If you don't find what you need, let me know and I'll send you some of mine.
