FWIW,  I've never had a complaint and I've bleached wax quite a bit in
some cases using Hcl (hydrocloric acid aka muriatic acid).  Don't bleach
new, yellow cappings wax.
 
Greetings!
I would like to know the "forumla" for bleached wax;how much wax to bleach
ratio.
This seems to be "trade" secret..willing to share?
