Today, I want to tell you, how you can make your own coloured filler wax sticks.
Method:
Melt a small quantity of hard Beeswax in a tin can, standing in a pan of hot water.
And then add suitable coloured pigments (e.g. Brown umber as this would be best suited for Dark Oak) stir well.
Pour the coloured wax into a mould to harden. If you do not have a mould, simply pour the wax into a container of cold water and squeeze the wax into a ball whilst it is still in the water.
Pigments for making coloured Beeswax filler sticks for:
Light shades, e.g. Teak or Light Oak use Raw Sienna
Cold, Medium shades or Walnut use Raw Umber
Warm Medium shades e.g. Mid Oak use Brown Umber
For Dark Oak best use Raw Umber & Brown Umber
Mahogany & Rosewood use Brown Umber & Burnt Sienna
Once again if this has been of use to you, please give me feedback.
