Additional Beeswax Uses
A versatile wax with many applications, these beeswax bricks can be used to condition wood (to restore its ability to retain moisture and prevent it from cracking), including cutting boards, butcher blocks, or even wooden furniture or floors.
Natural beeswax can also be used to coat screws and nails to prevent wood splitting; or to coat the rails of stuck drawers or old wooden windows. Note, that for some of these applications, beeswax is best used mixed with other substances; e.g., bronze statues can be preserved by coating them twice a year with a solution of beeswax and pine turpentine.
Looking for easier measuring and melting? Beeswax pellets are available as well.
