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

Screwfix sell it, I forget the brand.

Might be worth consulting Mrs Beeton online, ISTR her offering a few
recipes for beeswax polish with varying properties.
