HillBill got some from ebay at a good price recently, he might have asked on another forum, I forget, although Bernie Garland posted him an ebay link. I did find a link for him in that thread about Harrogate Bee Keepers, I think they have stuff for sale at an outlet at Harlow Carr Gardens in Harrogate. You'll have to Google or dig further but it's nice like that if you want to help some local trade. If this rings a bell with anyone who cares to post HillBills thread, I'd be obliged, under the weather right now so attention span even worse than usual.

Was up in aldi today and they had 100% beeswax candles for sale 2 quid for 4 wee stubby candles. May not be economical for what you're planning but OK for smaller projects.

I've just been guddling with them, forgot how good beeswax smells!! I was a little worried that there was something else in them so applied some to a bit of leather and seems like it's OK (short term obviously) Done my bow string too.

So what ya making???

Cheers,
