Beeswax Wood Conditioner
Share
Ingredients:
1/3 beeswax and 2/3 parts mineral oil.
Some people add in some Ivory soap flakes for the fragrance but this is left to your personal preference. Or, you may add other fragrances, for instance, lemon essential oil.
IMPORTANT SAFETY TIP: Beeswax melts at 143-148 degrees. It is pliable at 100 degrees. All waxes will ignite explosively when they reach their flash point temperature. To melt beeswax safely, place it in the top of a double boiler, or place the container of wax in a larger container of hot water. Do not melt beeswax in a microwave, as it could become hot enough to ignite. Do not cover the beeswax while melting in a container of water, as steam may condense on the inside of the cover resulting in water in the wax. To measure a small amount of beeswax, grate it before melting.
