...I have been watching "How Clean Is Your House". In the programme they
melted in the microwave some Beeswax to polish some old furniture. It can
be heated over a pan of hot water too they said.

I ordered some from eBay and have a problem.

When I do that and leave it to go cool it goes rock hard. What do I need
to add to it to make sure the beeswax stays soft so I can use it. I am
sure they added some kind of oil to it?? Maybe wrong but they said it was
the best way to polish old furniture.

Thanks Sam

Brilliant thanks. Sounds like that's the one. Will give it a whirl. I don't
know if its cheaper to buy it ready done never thought of that. Just liked
the idea of using a raw beeswax and doing it myself really. What company do
ready made stuff?

Thanks again you peeps xxx

Doesn't it have to be 'real' turpentine, not the substitute variety?
