I separate and melt my cappings with an old Maxant (I believe out of
production) capping melter. It produces clean  beeswax. The resulting wax is
beautifully yellow and fragrant. Why would someone want to filter their wax
until is is a colorless white? Isn't the whole point of "pure beeswax candles"
to present a product which is bright yellow and fragrant?
