Candle wax

[buck1]

A wile back my wife gathered her colection of ageing girlie smelling candles that didnt smell like foo foo mellon or whatever anymore. She gave me about 5#s of these old candles.
I melted them in a crock pot and fished the wicks out.
Now I got 5#s of this wax that melts at UNDER 100F ! Very low melting point. On a hot day a pice in the sun is liquid.
Other than flux What can I do with this stuff? I thought about 50/50 with bees wax + some oil/greese for lube , but I am scared to ruin the bees wax if the melting point doesnt rise..........Buck

That sounds like soy wax. You can probably harden it up with paraffin wax and save your beeswax for another blend.

Blend in the 180-200 temp micro-paraffin wax, for a mix that melts at 140-160, for a summer time base wax. You need a 120-130 for a winter mix base. ... felix
