    Beeswax in not available in our area. Can I use paraffin wax/ candles instead?

    on the first seam you preheated the slate but on second seam you applied melted wax directly, any particular reason?

      Thanks for watching the video.
      *If the slate is cold it can cause the wax to quickly become brittle and dry incorrectly. In this case since it was room temperature preheating the surface did not make much of a difference on the second seam.

    I have re-built two 8ft pool tables, and the slabs did not have holes in the middle (i.e the playing surface) as the one in your video did. I would be concerned that filling the holes with wax would not be a hard enough surface. If a ball is placed on the table hard, I would think the wax could be left with a dent, requiring the re-do. I'd like to know your thoughts & experience.

      I've been told to keep your room cool and under 70 degrees. Beeswax is an easier way of doing it but doesn't last as long. Bondo is a better, more permanent solution.

      You should not use bondo on a pool table.

      @@txtrooper What's that other stuff I see people use besides beeswax? It looks like some sort of putty spackle. Comes in a tube.

      Rock hard putty was the standard gap filling compound used for decades. I'd use that for the bolt holes, and beeswax on the joint

    What's the benefit of beeswax vs bondo or other sealants?
