Thanks for the video man. If, in a pinch, you need bees wax, I've found that a tube of Burt's Bees lip balm, found at any drug store or grocery store check out line, works great. It's not as good as a chunk of bees wax, but if'n you are in a pinch, lip balm works.

its awesome that you say that, that is what my daughters kit has. She got a tube when she was little and that is what she has always used. Great minds think alike. Thanks for watching the videos.

Got my first cheapo fly tying kit as a kid in 1969. Came with a lump of... you guessed it, beeeswax. Worked then, still works today.

Its hard to beat mother nature. All the stuff we try to create, and bees kind of mastered it the first time.

Also works good in-place of your Chapstick glue bottle thread sealer.

[@Ivegotbugsflyfishing]

it does work good, I do like my chapstick better, is slicker. But beeswax does work great as well.

So you're telling me I made too much dubbing wax when I made 6 - 25 gram cakes of 442 wax?

[@Ivegotbugsflyfishing]
