Okay not sure if this is the best place for this.
Ages ago bought some beeswax and some tins with the intention of making some bat wax. So I think I'm finally getting around to it.
Anyone done this? Any tips formulas?
Thanks in advance.

Just made some a couple of days ago. Turned out to fairly easy.
Boil water in any container
Put beeswax in a glass jar and put the jar in boiling water
Once melted, add linseed oil and mix quickly (Sets very quickly)
I used 60% oil and 40% Beeswax apprx.
There are some good videos/articles around. Here is one below from Cricket Bat Info
