With the announcement that ALOX had been discontinued by the manufacturer, I figured I’d better boost up my supply, so when I saw an ad on flea Bay for hollow sticks of 50-50 at an attractive price, I figured “Why not?” I got them in and they were individually wrapped in waxed paper and in a zip loc bag with a tag saying Jakes 50-50 ALOX beeswax lube. The stick I unwrapped was a little more tacky than my last sticks of Tamarack and it looks a little more milky and flat where the Tamarack is darker brown and more shiny. So, has anybody used one after the other? How do they compare?
From what I am reading, the company may be out of business now... they certainly don’t advertise much, so these 5 sticks may be all I get, but I’m wondering whether it will need to be remelted and remixed with some more beeswax or maybe some carnauba to harden it up just a bit(?)
