wax this shit!

[MOE SYZLAK]

i saved all my wax last summer from hive inspections and honey extraction and melted it into a butter carton. i'd like to make a smaller mold and sell em this yr or something.

Butthole's beez wax, I back it

[j....soy.....]

What's this about torching on wax? 

[Betaphenylethylalamine]

 ::)I use normal paraffin bricks like posted on the last page. It's like $2 for 5 bricks

I've also used old spice in a pinch hahaha. Funny someone else has too. Does fuck all for grinding but works for sliding, for 2 minutes. Then You have old spice all over everything and smell like Terry crews.

I carry a 5lb propane torch in my truck, torching wax on new ledges helps speed up the process

Anyone remember curb candy from shortys? Worst wax ever. It was super hard which made it really hard to wax ledges and get the wax to stick on there.

Thanks man! I made the molds myself. Using RTV silicone. I have some experience with casting resin and metal, so it wasn't hard to translate it to wax molds. I made soap too!

Everyone should remember too: the best way to quiet down trucks is to shave some pure uncoloured paraffin into pivot cups and around bushings.

[Hefe43]

thats sick...like cooking up some crack without the stigma...did you make the original skull too? what are you using to color the wax? I've always wanted to sculpt something out of clay and just make a shit load of whatever i make but I've never sculpted/cast something

id never seen it done before i saw david lozeau do it

[JB]

i just buy packs of these at the dollar store and leave them in my car. not the best, but gets the job done.
you need to leave them in a plastic bag though. ive had a few loose ones start to melt on my back seats before on hot days and it doesnt come out of upholstery.

[thespacewolf]

I use Magic Wax which is independently owned and is made entirely out of bee's wax so it smells really good. Apparently it's not supposed to melt as quick either.

But dam that skull wax is crazy, are you selling and or giving away any?

Me too but I melt them down into a aluminum can with left over wax from other old candles to make a nice sized block of it.

All you need.

You gotta look out tho cuz sometimes those cheap, scentless tealight candles can be made of this really crumbly wax that's shitty for rubbing on ledges. It'll get the job done if you have enough on hand but it breaks up super fast and is overall just a bitch to use. Just a few days ago I wasted a couple dollars on a 32 pack and it only took me two sessions (and 7 candles) til I just said fuck it and got some more wax at the shop

[El Chupacabra]

So I put the skulls on my webpage. I make them from paraffin wax, so they're basically nice candle wax.

If you're from Slap, put it in the order notes, I'll throw in a bunch of cool stuff!
Thanks for the interest guys, they're fun to make.

[violentpizza]

Havent used it myself, but the concept is great, plus it comes in the styrofoam cup so it wont melt or get all over everything
