Beeswax for Strap Backs and Other Leather Accessories?

I'll melt it in the double boiler set up, that won't catch on fire.

I like the honey raw, but I've also been putting it on red chili peppers.

All right, I put all the wax I had in a small metal cup, and then put the cup in a boiler pot with a grill, letting the steam heat the cup and melt the wax.

There's still some honey on the wax, and I'm not sure how to get that all out of the wax.

I guess it would make a good candle with that little bit of honey still in it, but I would not use this for sewing unless I figure out how to get all the honey out.

Bugbear I like your new signature block and it's true, unless you are a diabetic like me

I used to love honey and I agree, straight from the honeycomb is the bestest.
She that must be obeyed also loves honey and eats in from of me in order to punish me for all those years I ate junk foods (and too much of them too)
Such is life
