string makers wax

[PeteC]

Hey y'all , I have a question about making string makers wax. I got some raw bees wax from my neighbor, rendered the wax in a double boiler. I took this wax ,plus some pine pitch to make it sticky , got it melted down,but the pine pitch just stuck to my stirring stick, Is there a way to get the 2 melted fluids to mix properly? Thanks ,and God Bless.

Id experiment with adding a solvent to the pitch, like a turpentine, then add the wax until its the consistency you want, and evaporate off the solvent, stirring until its thickened up. But, i just use bees wax and a little deer tallow mixed in to soften it up a little.
