...50%/60% beeswax and 50%/40% Vaseline works very well with black powder...




Daryl,

I'd read about both Vaseline and Crisco, as well as olive oil and others to blend with the beeswax. I'll try a batch with Vaseline when I'm done using this batch up.

To create the grease cookie I tried the method where you gently melt the beeswax and whatever else you're adding, and then pour that as a film into a bowl of hot water, where it rises to the surface and ultimately congeals. First time trying it. Seem to work okay, although I had some irregularities that I scraped off with a knife. I also think the final product was closer to 0.25 than 0.2 thick, which was a bit much in an already cramped case.

What method do you recommend?

Regards,
Chris
