Waxes, What Can You Use Them For?

[happyinmendo]

I'm running a filter less setup right now BC I don't have the size filters and mesh screen yet for my rig, but during winterizing I have a fair amount of what I would imagine is waxes and they seem like a nice consistency when dry.

Anyone have any suggested use for them?

It's a good question;
be great if it could make a candle--
different kinda "waxes" seems like...

They are more fine powder that heavy candle wax, so I'm not sure they would be helpful for candles . I am hoping to rewintetize then one more time and then dry the out in the vac oven to see what they feel like dry.

I wasn't!!! lol Someone else suggested the same thing to me when i winterized a batch of fan leaf and had a cpl grams of waxes.. lol Never actually did it tho, but it might make an interesting scented candle ;)

I have a wax filter in my tubes so its easy to peel off since it too is stripped, added up to about a cup but I'm designing a large ethanol extractor and that will add more to collect and be worth the thought.
