Title: Quality of wax and using it in foundation.
Post by: jsmob on August 17, 2016, 02:34:23 pm

I have some bricks of wax that are a number of years old. One of the bricks,while rendering the wax down, I let the water come to a boil. I have some of this years comb I need to render down. The question is would it hurt to mix all this wax together to make foundation wax? Or would the boiled, and old, wax put the bees off of working the foundation?
