  Make your own hard Carnauba wax
 		  
        
 

The Method
The process of making your own high quality carnauba wax blend is really pretty simple. Firstly, you will need beeswax, which is available from any apiarist.
Chip off a few slabs and using kitchen scales measure out 100 gm. Set aside.

  
 
    Measure out 100 gm of carnauba wax flakes, which is available from Howard Products direct if your stockist doesn’t have it or won’t get it for you.
 
     
  Place the beeswax in an old saucepan and gently heat the wax until it melts and clarifies, making certain that you don’t scald it. Now add your 100 gm of carnauba wax slowly and carefully, and stir it into the melted beeswax with an old metal spoon or similar utensil.  
 
When the two waxes have combined and are liquid take 200 ml of cold-pressed orange oil and slowly and carefully add it to the mixture. Howard cold pressed raw orange oil retails for around $25 at some of our stockists.  
 
        
  Stir all the ingredients until blended then take off the heat and allow to cool for a few minutes. Now take your mould, which might be a metal mug, tin can or appropriate plastic receptacle able to accept heat. Into the mould carefully pour your still warm liquid. Safely set aside and let it cool overnight. In the morning you’ll have your wax ready to use.
