I loved my big beautiful blocks of rendered beeswax until it came time to use them for a project. Breaking one apart when you just need a few ounces was a pain! So I’ve started using lined muffin tins (use foil not paper liners) that I fill to different weights. Now I have jars with 1, 2, and 3 ounce little wax cupcakes when I want to whip up lotion bars, lip balms and little projects. It is more time consuming, but so much easier when wanting a quick rainy day activity! Great video sir! Thank you from Oklahoma! 👩🌾🌻🐝

For future reference, to get wax out of cloth or rugs, put paper towels over it and then use a warm iron. It'll melt the wax into the paper towels and remove most of it from the clothing/rug. Learned that from a friend's mom. Also, a trick: Get yourself a dedicated glass quart measuring cup and use that to dish out the cappings into the pot. This way, you know how many quarts of capping are in the pot, so you can measure out how much water you need.

My father has a way bigger pot made of cast iron. It seems more water is better then less. He says to little water can trigger saponification. He starts filtering the wax soon after boiling, not waiting half hour. For filtering he uses some type of natural textile material with the shape of bag with a sharp tip, and he uses a small pot like a kettle to take the mix from big pot. It's important to put pressure on the mix from textile bag when filtering. He gets big 20kilos wheels of wax in the end. And there's more dedicated tools but don't know English words to describe those and process like i want. The thing it's a great adventure and seeing the final product gives great satisfaction. Greetings from Romania! I see you've put the mix in two smaller pots ... he uses one single plastic vessel as big as the cast iron pot, so he can get one big cleaner wheel of wax. And he covers that while waiting to solidify so insects won't get in and it seems slows down solidifying and avoids cracks. Your final wheel of wax is one of the cleanest i've seen👍😃!

My dad kept bees for a while. He made a Solar oven for the first stage of the melting process. It was fairly simple, but did a fairly good job. He'd dump a bunch of the dirty wax in it, the sun would melt the wax which poured through a screen into a waiting container leaving the worst of the junk behind. The only down side is it had to be a hot day. Soon as the wax had melted he'd scrap the trash out of the melter, and dump more wax that needed filtering in it. The clean wax would get further filtering using a double boiler.
@TKEsweetheart244 жыл бұрын
You need to rinse off the cakes after the first filter. Most of the fine sediment is loose on the cake so before you melt the cakes second time for fine filtering rinse them off with water to get the sludge off the backside. Will increase your results.

I used rendered bee's wax combined with plain kerosene to make a rust proofing coating for wrought iron products. Brought to a low heat, I added the kerosene to the melted wax , until it was almost a water like consistency. After it was thoroughly mixed , I wiped it on my iron parts which left a dull finish that was almost invisible but made water bead right up. Plus, the iron had a nice beeswax smell.

We didn't use metel lids and tin caps because that fail to seal or hold a seal alot of times. pouring an inch of hot beezwax on top of the boiling contents creates an air tight seal as things cool down. It's also anti fungal, bacterial, and microbial proof. Will keep canned food safe for many many years with no worries about any rusting goin on under medal lids.

That works. Can't do everything that way, though. When I was a kid, my mom made home made jelly and preserves. Never got a metal lid. She would put the hot jelly/preserves in glass jars, and pour melted paraffin on the top, about 1/2 inch, 3/4 inch thick. Worked just like ginger bread said. That was for jellies and preserves. Maybe the acids in the fruit helped preserve it, I don't know. Not a canner. She canned other stuff, vegetables, and used regular Mason jars, metal caps and bands. But I never saw any spoiled jelly/preserves from using the wax method. It kept all year. Don't know about "forever." Made new batches every year. Thing is, just because you haven't heard of something before doesn't mean it isn't a real thing. Get yourself an education before you start downing others. You are far from knowing everything. Realizing that would be a good starting point for you.

Yes, two good ways to further process beeswax-reject. However, also two remarks needed here. First, when collecting sawdust, only take the pristine clean stuff and preferably from a cutting/sanding device that doesn't use oil. Especially when you want to use the fire-starter indoors (for reasons of smell). Second, if you only have cotton clothes in your dryer, go ahead and collect the lint afterwards. If you have polyester-fibres there as well, you might want to look for a different source as the smell of burning plastic isn't fantastic.

A couple of things that "y'all" might like to consider: 1. If you are going to work outside, perhaps it's better to do after sunset, or at least when bee wont be out foraging. 2. If you put some water in the pot FIRST, you wont get that burnt patch that ruins y'alls pot. 3.Instead of using panty hose as a filter, filter cloth is so much more durable ( get it from an industrial supplier) but far better than anything, is to boil up the wax with plenty of water, and pour the lot into a tall, narrow stainless steel cylinder to cool over night. I use a couple of old fire extinguishers with their tops cut off. or you can get ss pipe from a scrap metal dealer, or steel merchant. About 8inches diameter works well, ( you have to be careful to make sure the cylinders are stable and wont tip over, of course.) To get the wax out, you may just need to heat the sides of the cylinder, or force water through a hole in the bottom of the tube, which you might have sealed with a pinch of clay. You end up with super clean wax at the very top, and progressively dirtier stuff . at the very bottom. Cut that off, and put aside for the next rendering.. Always remember that hot wax is exceptionally hot so take a lot of care.

you could also use silicon forms for baking - cupcakes or bread molds or even ice forms. makes it easier to store it in smaler chunks. Nice step by stepp process.
@Reddotzebra4 жыл бұрын
Silicon forms are amazing for any kind of molten thing you want to cast, as long as it's not hot enough to melt the form XD When it cools down you can just take the form right off.
@TashJansson4 жыл бұрын
Yep! A silicon mold put inside a regular pot or cake tin (if the silicon wall is thin the contents can spill) will work excellent, and also, they're relatively easy to clean

Totally worth the effort, I have made many candles and for that quality of beeswax every pound would cost at least $15. But I think for your operation it's probably best to reap the rewards yourself. Hey it only cost you time and a small amount of money and you have some very nice gifts for family and friends. When making candles it's the wax that is the most expensive ingredient and you have it as a byproduct of beekeeping!

Even panflets... and soaps, honeys, candles and most anything honey or wax related.... and while i will support my local bee keepers, nope, not going into beekeeping!

I can tell that doing this is a labor of love for you. You talk about your your clean wax as if it's your baby. When filling the mold you said "this is some of the prettiest yella wax I have ever seen". All i could say was "Awwwww" like a new dad seeing his first child for the first time... It really melts your heart, pun intended. LOL

There is something so utterly satisfying about watching the rendered beeswax poured into a vessel. Cleaned of all the impurities, that amber gold is just divine to look at. Plus, the vibrant yellow of the solidified wax and the promise of all it's wondrous applications are incredibly fun to witness. Thanks you for providing us with this tutorial and the fascinating process behind this age-old craft.

You can get damn near the same level of cleaning by pouring out of a pot with a a pour spout (not a full, enclosed spout but the kind of crimp in the metal). Pour slowly down a smooth stirring rod (glass is what's usually used) that you hold closely to the edge of the pot. Surface tension will pull the fluid through the tiny gap which will hold most all of the particulates back. It's a super old chemistry decanting technique. Here's a better explanation with pictures www.genevaschools.org/Downloads/Lab%2520Techniques.pdf

Fabulous video! If you want to make fire starters out of the leftover "garbage" take cardboard egg cartons and fill the cups with dryer lint. Melt the leftover drippings and pour over the dryer lint. Cut the cups into individuals once the contents have dried/solidified and voila!!! Works like a charm.
