Easy Melt Wax Strips – 100g

Make small wax-based projects easier with Easy Melt Wax Strips from Hornsby Beekeeping Supplies. Made from 100% Australian beeswax, these filtered and pre-cut strips provide a convenient alternative to cutting pieces from a large beeswax block.

The strips are produced from the excess wax trimmed from foundation sheets as they pass through the wax machine at our Western Sydney wax plant. Instead of remelting these useful pieces, Hornsby Beekeeping Supplies offers them in practical 100g quantities for customers who need only a small amount of beeswax.

Because the wax is already supplied in manageable strips and pieces, it is easier to measure, handle and melt for smaller projects. As a result, it is particularly suitable for reusable wax wraps, body butter and similar craft applications that do not require a large quantity of wax. 

Why You’ll Love It

100% Australian Beeswax:
These melt wax strips are made from Australian beeswax, making them a practical option for customers who prefer locally sourced materials.

Convenient 100g Quantity:
The smaller pack allows you to purchase an appropriate amount for test batches, repairs and occasional craft projects.

Easy-to-Handle Pieces:
Because the beeswax has already been cut into narrow strips and smaller pieces, there is less need to cut through a large, solid wax block.

Filtered and Milled Locally:
The beeswax is filtered, milled and cut at the Hornsby Beekeeping Supplies wax plant in Western Sydney.

Ideal for Small Craft Projects:
Use the strips for body butter, reusable wax wraps and other suitable wax-based recipes.

Helps Reduce Beeswax Waste:
The strips are created during the beeswax-foundation manufacturing process and are packaged for useful craft applications rather than being immediately remelted.

Product Information

Easy Beeswax to Melt and Measure

Large wax blocks can be difficult to divide when a recipe requires only a small quantity. In contrast, these narrow strips can be weighed and added gradually, helping you control how much wax is used.

For more even melting, place the required amount into suitable wax-melting equipment or use a controlled double-boiler method. Heat the wax gradually and stir carefully when required.

Furthermore, melting only the amount needed helps you keep the remaining strips clean and ready for another project.

Suitable Uses for Melt Wax Strips

Reusable Beeswax Wraps

These wax strips are suitable for making or refreshing reusable beeswax wraps. Once melted according to an appropriate recipe, the wax can be distributed across suitable fabric.

The exact formulation may require additional ingredients depending on the flexibility and finish you want. Therefore, follow a tested wrap-making recipe and use clean equipment throughout the process.

Body Butter and Similar Products

Beeswax is often included in suitable body-butter recipes to provide structure and create a firmer consistency. Since these strips are easy to weigh, they are convenient for small test batches and personal projects.

However, always follow a tested formulation and confirm that every ingredient is appropriate for your intended application. The finished product’s texture will depend on the amount of beeswax and the other oils or butters used.

General Craft Projects

The strips may also be melted for other appropriate beeswax crafts that require only a small amount of material. Moreover, the compact 100g pack is useful for beginners who want to experiment without purchasing a larger block.

Important: Not Suitable as Starter Strips

These wax pieces should not be installed in beehive frames as starter strips because they are not deep enough for that purpose.

Beekeepers who need starter strips should purchase full-depth beeswax-foundation sheets and cut them to the required size. This provides a more suitable depth for installation in hive frames. 

Safe Melting and Handling

Beeswax is combustible and should always be heated carefully. Use appropriate wax-melting equipment or a controlled double boiler, and never place beeswax directly over an open flame.

In addition:

• Do not leave melting wax unattended
• Use clean, heat-resistant utensils
• Keep water away from hot wax
• Melt only the amount required
• Allow completed projects to cool before handling
