What other uses do you it for other than candles?
BTW you can now get beeswax & foil capacitors again, fot the audio
freaks.
Where you have wood-to-wood contact, such as a drawer slide, it's a
great lubricant. There are wood finishes that involve beeswax as a
component. Lubricating small taps and dies with it is useful in that
it holds the chips, unlike cutting oil.
In music, I make my own brass slide lubricant, combining mineral oil,
beeswax and anhydrous lanolin (it's non-toxic).
There are probably many other uses that I haven't thought of.
