Waxy

Make your own surf wax. Here's what you'll need:

1 hot plate.

1 old crusty pot that you'll never ever want to use again.

1 cup cake pan with baking paper baking cups.

1 block of pure bee's wax.

1 sticky handful of tree sap from your neighbors yard.

1 can of coconut oil.
Extras include color crayons for color or vanilla extract, jasmine oil, etc. for sent.

For cold water wax the proportions are:
50% bee's wax

40% coconut oil

10% tree sap

For warmer water wax add more bee's wax and less coconu
t oil.

Melt the bee's wax in the pot over the hot plate. Add in the tree sap, coconut oil and optional extras and mix it all up real good. Pour the concoction into the baking cups to form the individual bars. Let it sit for a hour to cool and you're set. -MR
