Beeswax (Yellow, Triple-Refined), 2lb block

2lb of triple-refined, yellow beeswax. Use with rosin (powdered rosin sold for sports use works fine) to make traditional beeswax/rosin mixture (a.k.a. "tying wax", "sealing wax" or "pitch"). Applied hot, this pitch makes an excellent sealant for bell jars and other rigid vacuum joints. Animal fat can be incorporated if a more flexible seal is required. Also used in crafts and entomology.
