Was all like yay I can make some strings b55 and serving came. Wax has not though lmao, got myself hyped, all about to make the jig. Then ".... Oh shiii, forgot no wax yet"

Guess I will process more sinew as long as the old lady let's me before she gets mad at my banging lol

Hawkdancer:
Maybe find a beeswax candle at your local a ce(no space)hardware, they seem to have a bunch of stuff!  Soaking the sinew should save a lot of banging and pounding, and is easier on the sinew!  It helps to have the string jig finished, too (lol)

No ace on my little island lol. Doubt our hardware store would have it, the apothecary might if they are still operating.  I have always done the pounding without a soak just because I learned it that way. Makes sense it would be gentler on the sinew as being hydrated it has more give without possible fraying and such. Sure does take a lot of effort without soaking, only made it through half a tendon(big hard elk ones x.x) definitely going to set them to soak overnight. Don't know why had not ever crossed my mind. As for the jig I kinda just got upset and didn't make it because I realllly wanted to make a string tonight. Takes a whopping 5min to throw one together anyways though, will just do it tomorrow and look for some beeswax.

Mesophilic:
Are toilet bowl wax seals still made from beeswax?

Any that I have installed in the past 6-7years of contracting were definitely not beeswax. Possibly some mixed in maybe? But think they have been petroleum based for a while
