Not sure, but I've wondered how a beeswax kendama plays. Is it similar in grip to the spray-paint used by The Cook and Girr?
It just makes it tackier...not to a drastic degree buy there is a noticeable different. Plays more like a broken in ken.
Not quite, I mean I guess it makes it kinda 'sticky' in a similar way, but you're talking about spray paint vs wax... they're just kinda different at their core. Not sure, I have some of the kenhol wax, it works nicely. I'm sure beeswax will do the trick just fine if needed though
Sometimes it's hard to find just a block beeswax but I've heard that beeswax candles, if you can find the 100% kind, are easier to track down and work the same way; just a form factor difference.
KENHOL wax can be purchased on the Gloken website for about 7 bucks. I don't know if anyone remembers but I think I saw @Kristian Aynedter tease something called "Kenditioner" that might drop sometime soon.
Beeswax really does do wonders, for beech wood especially. The hairdryer method is really the best way to do it as well. I usually rub some in, then hairdry it, then wipe off any excess, wait like 15 minutes before the next coat. I usually do two or three coats but no more than that because it will start to get a little too tacky after that and I find it will pick up dirt a little easier.
If anyone may " bee" looking .... one of our medics at the firehouse has a bee hive -honey business. He's been doing it for a decade , and has literally tons of beeswax. I will ask him about selling it cheaply to the DS peeps !
There's a recipe toward the end of this post: DIY DAMA BUTTER @Eric H bees only make one kind of wax... Beeswax
The KenHolix guys used to sell some, but I just checked their site and its not currently listed. Honestly, try your local natural foods sorta grocery spot? Beeswax is pretty common. If you find the right candles you can even just use those
Lol, I meant like organic or all natural or with some stuff mixed in it, but my question was pretty weird.
