Make

  • Set aside half of the beeswax you want to make.
    This time I will make 40g of Greenland wax, so 20g.

  • Set aside an equal amount of paraffin as beeswax.
    This time I will make 40g of Greenland wax, so 20g.

  • Melt the separated beeswax paraffin in a water bath.
    Remaining wax will stick to the container, so either throw it away or prepare a special item.

  • Put a cooking sheet in a container for molding and add melted wax.
    The photo does not include a cooking sheet, but it will be difficult to remove after it hardens, so be sure to put it on.

  • Cool to room temperature until the wax hardens.
    40g solidified in about 5 minutes.

  • Take it out of the container and complete.
    The wax is soft and can be easily bent by hand, so I took it out and shaped it into a rectangle. You can easily do this by blowing it a little with a hair dryer.
