    WTB Micro-Wax & Beeswax

    Hoping some of us who have experimented with lubes might have leftovers in need of a good home. My beeswax contact has dropped out of the side business and I prefer to look here for sources.

    Since the Extreme Lube thread pooped out, I have some good data on a few lubes I would like to make, but buying a full 10 lbs of micro-wax does not make sense to me and my volume of casting and lubing. My own experiment using jeweler's casting wax in a soap lube was a long shot and resulted in a much-too-hard crumbly mess. it's what I had on hand from an unrelated project.

    Perhaps some of us who have adopted the coated boolit approach have some orphaned lube components no longer being used?

    I'll try to get on here at least once a week to check for responses.

    Thanks!

    I’ve got plenty of beeswax that I am not using. At least 10 lbs.

    Toilet bowl rings are very different from lot to lot. Unless you buy a case at a time they will be different, and almost impossible to replicate your recipe.
