I got it in a Zip Lock bag in an oblong square sort of shape.  It had been filtered through a screen once.  Seemed completely clean to me.  It feels harder than what I got from 3 rivers. 

Anyway I melted it into two large condiment containers.  I think I'll never need wax again.  But I think I could have a source for it.  This batch was free but If i started pestering her for more on a regular basis I'm sure she'd wan't $.  I know she said then can sell it to several companies that buy wax for making stuff.  BUT they want it strained already.... So if we don't need it strained then possibly it's an opportunity.

used to get the filtered bees wax from a friend, but I gave a bow to a buddy at work that has bees, not only do I get free honey but he's gonna hook me up with some unrefined wax when he starts harvest
failure is an option, everyone fails, it's how you handle it that matters.

One pound of beeswax mixed(melted) with one toilet bowl ring= perfect string wax and a lifetime supply at that.
How much is 2-4 ounces?
