A man gave me a garbage bag full of wax that had been rendered into cakes but is now very dirty. I am in the process of remelting it to clean it. I've read Dadants wax working program but I'm not sure if that is my only choice. There is probally 15-20 pounds or so. Any suggestions?
Thanks

sell it. From what I've seen in the Dadant warehouse here, they will take just about any condition wax.

Will they buy it outright?
or want to trade ?

Bees wax is also popular among candle makers. Check a local candle maker.

Dadant will give you credit on account for wax.We carried a pickup truck load to the Virginia warehouse backin the spring. You can trade it out for foundation at palces like Brushy Mt. You can sell it any number of places, but shipping costs have gotten out of hand.
