Recipe 1: Warm water
Beeswax
Coconut oil- found at most supermarkets
As with most beeswax recipes you will need a double boiler, a simple pot inside of a pot partially filled with water will suffice. Beeswax and coconut oil are flammable and direct heat should be avoided, not to mention high heat will impart a burnt smell to the mixture.
Add 4 parts beeswax to one part coconut oil and warm on medium heat until all solids are melted. Pour into a muffin tin or other container that will serve as a mold. Enclose in plastic wrap or a container and store in a cool dry place.
Recipe 2: Cold water
Beeswax
Coconut oil
Tree resin (also goes by pine resin, rosin, colophony)
 |
| Tree resin |
It can be found on Ebay and around the web. It can even be collected if you are adventurous.
Use the double boiler as mentioned above, but this time slowly melt 3 parts beeswax 1 part coconut oil and 1 part tree resin. Pour the liquid into a mold and allow to set up.
Note on both recipes, if you don't get the consistency you desire, simply remelt the surfboard wax and add slightly more beeswax(beeswax/tree resin) for a harder tackier consistency or add slightly more coconut oil for a smoother consistency.
