That is darn nice.

How many pounds?

How did you do it?(Double boiler, solar, etc)

Sincerely,

i haven't weighed it yet.  i'll do it when i'm done with all.  i melted it over a double boiler through cheese cloth.  the wax melts into the water and then when it cools and shrinks it slides right out.
