What can you do with extra wax?

[Foxhound]

After you have melted and strained your leftover comb, what do you use your wax for? Beekeeping related or not.

My wife makes lip balms and lotion bars from the cappings wax.

"I've considered trying out lip balm...  Any tips/ suggestions?"

Use the best ingredients you can find, including the essential oils used for scent/flavor. Some of the cheaper ones just don't smell right or can foul pretty quickly. You will find that beeswax balms will do way more for a persons skin than just about any commercial product out there that does not contain it.   

It has to be pretty easy or the wife wouldn't be messing with it.

How much can you sell wax for? Do you have to sell it in certain weights or shapes? Will a beekeeper who doesn't use chemicals get more for their wax?

I use some on hand rubbed wood finishes, also to 'wax' guitars.

If I still skied, I would wax my skis with it. 

Door frame lubricant.

Candles

The list is actually endless.

My wife sells it also with the honey sells.   $5 a block and the blocks are about a pound, give or take.  And this is a cheap price, but they are not for show.
