100% beeswax bars handmade by our local Durham, NC beekeeper friend, David. Beeswax has been used for centuries for many household needs.
Set of 3 bars.
Size 2 3/4″ x 7/8″
Beeswax use includes:
-Run your sewing thread against a block of beeswax a few times – it will slide through the fabric easier, prevent longer threads from tangling, make the thread sturdy and waterproof
-Lubricate a sticky window or drawer
-Condition wood cutting boards
-Condition and waterproof boots, saddles, bags or other leather products by rubbing into the leather with a dry, clean cloth, working it in well along seams. Let dry, then buff to shine.
-In the garden, beeswax can be used to make pest deterrents
-Removal of rusted nails or bolts
-Coat hand tools, shovels, or cast iron pieces to prevent rust from forming. This includes treating wood handles to preserve and protect them from degrading.
-Polish concrete counters, granite, wrought iron – both inside and outside of the home
-Preserve a patina. Seal a copper sink by rubbing it with softened beeswax and polishing off the excess with a lint-free rag
We are excited to find even more ways to use these handy little beeswax bars and keep you posted through our blog.
