re: MtMan-List: Bees wax

[David Card <DCard@compuserve.com>]

For future reference, I've gotten beeswax from James Townsend, one of my 
favorite sources of "stuff".  It's $7 a pound - I don't know if that's 
good or bad.  If I was to get some cheap or free from a bee keeper, I'd
go for it.  I'd melt it, and strain it through cheese cloth to get out 
the bee parts &c.

p.s.  oh yeah...
