This is going to create gel with a high density which is great for allowing more fragrance in the candle. I am a surfing beekeeper too! The liquid is going to harden, when it does then this is the time to seal it, make sure the lid is tightly on there. if someone could help that would be nice. it is not clear to me!! This process is going to take around 2 hours so just be patient, read a book while you wait or watch a movie, just keep an eye on the mixture and stir often.

Shame... Hey lloyd great message.

Read the article well� It is not 3 parts wax and 1 part Coconut oil� hi Maybe half the amount of coconut oil for example?

How are your projects going?

Hey ed .it all depends on how much micro wax you use and what quality it is ,as ive mentioned before some are better than others.

Now you can put it away for future use or you can use it now! Dan CHCH NZ.

Is there anything to replace the adhsive?

I am in Hawaii - I presume that is 'warm water'?

Have you tried different binders ?

paml@sapo.pt, i made the warm water organic surf wax and it doesnt make bumps or work that well...any suggestions.

That's it.

I can't be sure but I think marble contains salt, and it moves when absorbing occurs, also other factors with marble might be an issue, like how it reacts with the other ingredients, pollution in the air and water, ph of the water and type of marble, one works better than the other. Eventough you say not to bother with other vegetable oils i would like to find a substitute for coconut oil because i do not live in the tropics and for me to make organic wax with coconut oil that is shipped by polluting containership seems a bit contradictory. What a rip off.

For Sticky Warm Water Surf Wax: You need only two ingredients — beeswax and coconut oil. I live in washington, does anyone know where I can find some tree resin? please answer here: joceballo@gmail.com Some oputro product to replace it?

any suggestions?

this site i love <3. Now if you have tried to do this before I am sure that you have noticed that the gel to make candles with can be very expensive, to add to this, just going out to buy a gel candle can also be pricey. Thanks,

i guess because the resin after merling when i wax it become solid again when i go in the water. Add one dye chip at 85 ℃ and mix it until it is totally dissolved.

When you are done mixing then set the mixture aside for an hour.

Step # 4.

I sell tree resin pinion pine resin and would love to help you guys out email me for a price

After reading most of that, I think I’ll just keep buying wax from the surf shop. Once it starts boiling, remove it from the heat and pour it into a glass jar. Sorry to ask, i just don't know where the hell to get the tree resin from...without tapping into our heritage pine trees.

Thanks, Great topic:-)

Alexferro my opinion might be worth a little or a lot, you decide, base coast should be standard mixture, top coat only applied after base coat has settled for 8hrs then top coat should be applied, your resin levels seem quite high for both, I thought the resin is meant to be a tastier while offering softness to the wax, so I assume your losing stick because the wax content is to low causing it to deposit quicker, try dropping resin content, increase wax and oil. Hope to talk to some of you soon - Jesse and Wendy and Family, is the adhesive ( vistaneX) the only adhesive that works as im having trouble locating that specific one. Ready the wick while the wax melts. All you do is mix 2,250 g of beeswax with 750 ml of coconut oil. Let this sit for 24 hours and there you are! Ok 3 parts wax to 1 part oil ie 300grms of wax to say 90ml of coconut oil - adjust oil level say 120ml ,90ml and 60ml fine tune from there as for pine tree resin call your local arborist and ask him when he is cutting up the next pine tree hope this helps guys, No, not the only surfing beekeeper!

Cheers, Sarah. how should I do?

I use it for medicnal salves, beard balms, mustache wax and soap making. Needs more beeswax. Early days of surfboard wax didnt have adhesives. to reuse the remains of candles DIY Rolled Candles ~~~Rolled candles are the quickest and easiest to make, and since the wax is softened rather than melted, they're also the safest. I would love for someone on this forum to try the resin and give me more info on your results. After the 2 hour mark the gel should be liquid are now it needs to cool.

Alright then, let us begin!

Amazing, this thread is nearly 10 years old and no one has managed to create a definitive organic recipe! Has anyone tried tree huggers or matunas? However, make sure it …

We've been asked by some sophisticated surfers to help them assess whether an organic surf board wax business might both serve the surfing community and help local farmers here (from whom we are already buying honey and want to start buying wax). Marina. Hello, Melt the wax in a double boiler or heavy pot over low heat.

I hope that this helps you and thank you for reading! hi form Bali and how much sap? Step # 1. Struggling to stop the calcium carbonate sinking to the bottom when the wax sets in the mould.

This is going to create gel with a high density which is great for allowing more fragrance in the candle. what can be a replacement to vistanex or any alternative for it?? Take the wick and super glue it to the bottom of the glass container, this is important as the wick will move around a lot if it is not secure. Now you are going to cut some of the gel out of the container and put it in to a boiling pot and heat it up, once again to 220 degrees.

I need help please!! the wax is good sticky...but after 20-30 min in the water is not sticky .

Pour into paper cups and let it set. Let us know how we can help, we would love to have our humble pine pitch/resin make it out onto the oceans of the world!

I also want to know to keep those imperfections, what element I add to the recipe? I followed the organic wax recipe and found it to be rubbish. Are you ready to learn how to make candle wax and how to make a candle? (A slippery board is not good, oh dear)

When you are done mixing then set the mixture aside for an hour.

So that's the first method for making your own surf wax.

Slowly pour the melted wax into the mold and around the wick.

Also have you put some on a plate and mixed a little bit of water with it? Aloha. Now i know why...lol

Thanks.

(Tree resin can be bought in the form of granulated incense (as used by the Catholic Church) but can work …

My main worry is getting it nice and tacky, any ideas? Thank you. Submitted On February 22, 2011. But I notice that the mixture is a little hard and with little grip.

Hope that helps.

Thanks to everyone for posting this useful information. I am the owner of Jenny Joy's Soap in Kingman, AZ. Hello!!!

What I need put more? thanks The proportions are 3 parts of wax, 1 coconut oil and 1 pine resin.

With surf wax being so cheap we don't know why anyone would like to make it themselves, but it is a question that has been asked over again.

Thanks to Jonny and Roy over on the forum for these "How to Make Surf Wax" guides.

Take all the ingredients and melt them down together at around 100 degrees Farenheit in the following proportions.
