Has anyone tried this for molding beeswax? Must you use vegetable oil spray to release?

You would need to use something to release the candles. It works very well for everything I have use it for.

We try not to use spray very often, due to the buildup. Instead, I mix about 1 T of oil into my batter - it seems to help with sticking.

I am a a user of Van's beeswax, and as far as I can tell it is all beeswax. use it for final coat on my antique wood projects and love it.

I used a VERY light spray of non stick spray for my FIRST set of molds. It usually takes multiple sets to complete the finished process. After I freeze my mold for 10 minutes I flip them over to wax paper and refill the mold. I'm not sure what brand if melts you're using but I've used Wilton and I've never had an issue. Let me know if you have anymore questions. Have a great day.

I spray vegetable spray (i.e. Pam) on mine, but don't flour it. It works super well and I'm really pleased with it!

I had no problem blending this in to liquid bees wax, shea butter and coconut oil...just put a little in at a time and stirred. Not sure why it isn't working for you.

I've cut them out of wax paper a few times at the beginning, but in the end I just don't bother -- the sprayer seems to work just fine without the gasket. I've not had any problems with the jar sealing even with no gasket; There is a vent in the top in any case. Give it a try, I think you'll find the same.

Not sure... The table's care instructions don't mention beeswax, although I can't imagine it would hurt. The wax definitely adds a minor layer of protection and helps enhance appearance. I would get some and apply to a spot on the underside of the table as a test to see if you like it

Absolutely!! In fact, I JUST finished doing that. I used this recipe: http://gardentherapy.ca/green-guide-natural-beauty-review/ and then added some epsom salt that I had dissolved in water and aloe vera. I also added a little jojoba oil and upped the beeswax since I was adding a watery mix to it. It's cooling quite nicely right now.

There are probably better and cheaper solutions for moulding like tongue oil or linseed oil. Van's works well on unfinished wood furniture, so I'm sure it would also work on unfinished moulding just make sure you have enough and it does have to be reapplied over time.

No, white beeswax has had the color and smell taken out of it. Try using regular beeswax if you want the honey-like scent.

I've always used easycast products and they work well. Use mold release spray first.

My understanding is that beeswax is optional: not necessary, but you might get a better seal around the mouthpiece with the beeswax. I had trouble playing the one I bought, but according to the instructor at the didgeridoo workshop it wasn't because of the mouthpiece, it was because the material the didge was made of is porous. If you like this didgeridoo, it might be worth a try. Beeswax is pretty cheap.

I never have, not sure if it would work on this wax though. It's very sticky and I won't be buying it again. It's very hard to take off all at once

It should work just fine. I used mine to grate beeswax and it did the job, it was tough, but it worked. So for veggies, shouldn't be a problem.

I've been using the Clear Casting Epoxy from EasyCast. Got it at Hobby Lobby, little cheaper then Amazon. Don't need to get their easy release mold spray, just use my fingers and thumbs to release it from the mold.

If you're using it straight out of the jar, it will be very difficult to use but body heat will melt it...eventually. I recommend melting it and mixing it with some other oils like sweet almond, coconut or avocado, whipping it with a hand mixer then using it. It will re-harden but not nearly as brick-like as its original state. Once it's been mixed and re-hardens, it melts easily in the palm of your hand.
