I just got 5 ounces of cosmetic grade beeswax. This is plenty
for me, so if you would liks a free sample (a few grams) and
you're willing to send me a stamped self-addressed envelope,
send me email at [1]wardhj...@hotmail.com.
And, while we're on the subject, how might one remove
beeswax from the string and nut? The Wikipedia article
mentions turpentine as a solvent.
