Stakich White Beeswax Block - Natural, Cosmetic Grade - 1 Pound

Takes color beautifully. Melts to an almost colorless transparent predictably. Melts at a slightly higher temperature than other waxes and casts with crisp clean edges and a flawless durable surface. It's translucency is soft and generally there are no flaws or bubbles or cracking as it hardens and it pops out of a tin mold when cool without breaking. I'm doing slab casting inside which an origami box I made is sealed. You can see a little time-lapse of some of the wax with intense dry pigment colors. I bought 2lbs and will buy more today. It's excellent quality. If you just take your time and let it melt without overheating it in a rush, it's great to work with. My finished works are about 6"x9"x1.5" and when fully cooled are extremely strong. Product arrived quickly and the packaging is simple and strong so easy to reuse until you're finished with the wax. Highly recommend this.

It was way to hard. You can barely cut it

Awesome beeswax! I am an Encaustic artist and had ordered beeswax years ago from Stakich for my encaustics artwork. I was very happy with it back then. A period of time went by that I was unable to do my encaustics Work but now am back at it again! I noticed Stakich here on Amazon now and was thrilled to see they were still selling wax! After reading a few reviews here, I was a little disturbed that people said the wax had a bad chemical scent so I ordered just a couple of blocks to try it out. I mean, it HAD been over ten years since I had last ordered wax from Stakich and who knows what may have transpired over all that time!I am very happy to say, that when my wax blocks arrived yesterday I promptly opened it and found it had exactly the scent I was expecting! I don’t know what the other reviewers were talking about, but I smelled delicious honey scented beeswax!This company offers their high quality beeswax at extremely competitive prices, which is really important to me as an artist who goes through a LOT of beeswax on a regular basis! I am certainly happy I found Stakich again here on Amazon! I will definitely be ordering a LOT more!

Product arrived quickly. It's wax. Not sure what foul odor other reviewers mentioned. Essentially scent free. I use it to make paste and push for wood. Works as it should.

Had a little of an off smell to it, which I know beeswax can have, but it didn't in any way affect on my Candles.
