John in NM
I have a couple pounds in a bread pan, bought the cakes 20 years ago in Tucson where there was a beekeepers store in South Tucson then. Probably gone now, but it was cool - $2 a pound as I recall.

I had read about it's use as a leather treatment and I wanted to try it (and unfortunately didn't look up methods, youtube was still on the new side then). I put it on a hot plate and dunked my leather knife sheath in it, surprised to see how much air that leather had in it. After maybe 20 seconds I realized I was deep frying my leather Sheath came out pretty stiff, but the wax sure did preserve the heck out of that sheath!

I've since seen some vids on doing this correctly, so I kept the wax for one day when I have some free time.
