    I really enjoy rendering beeswax. I just find it so satisfying. But then, I'm just doing 10-20 pound unfiltered slabs.

    In the States we use electric heat tape to keep water lines from freezing. Maybe you could wrap the valve and it will keep the pipes from getting too Cold to let the valve and wax to flow. It may keep you from fire up the torch every time you drain the wax. Thanks

      nope it won't work. needs more heat then they put out.

    It would be interesting to know how your neighbor presses out the wax. All the resources on UA-cam show really small scale and time consuming processes.

    You could use a centrifugal oil sediment cleaner OR (what we use) a large diesel oil filter (works MAGIC).

    • @jomase6154
      @jomase6154 4 роки тому

      they press what wax is still left in the slum, and they do old broken frames. as far as the slum itself, it can make for good burning fuel in the winter times. it's basically garbage.

    • @droolingfangirl
      @droolingfangirl 5 років тому +2

      There's a wikipedia article, "Slumgum in beekeeping is the residue of the beeswax rendering process. When the beeswax from brood comb is rendered to produce clean wax, it leaves behind the pupal lining, wax moth cocoons, excrement from larvae, and other residual debris included in the original material. "

      Seamstresses use it to toughen their thread. Archers use it on bow strings. There are hundreds of uses. There are some very high tech items that can't be made without bees wax. It's very special stuff.
