Hello, I changed my email address got one of these web emails. anyway I am
quite angry and perplexed to what is in my moulten beeswax foundation.

A few months back I ran into some old equipment which I bought it all, in
that was some old foundation.. I figured I would melt it down and use it for
candles possibly. I figured that foundation is 100% beeswax.. well what I
found was that melted down there is this oil like subtance that floats on
top almost looks like salad oil, and I cant filter it out.

The reason Im mad is I just extracted over 36 supers the other day went to
render my cappings.. the first bacth was great. When I went to render the
next batch I saw that oily floating stuff on top. Here what I realized is
that during my extracting one of my frames totally broke up so i just
through the comb into my cappings. When I rendered that batch I had all this
oil stuff in it. Are all these cappings wasted for making candles ? will
they burn ok ? is it dangerous to burn ? what is that oil like substance in
there ?


thanks for any info,

Andrew Dubas
