Wax Dipping Bee Hive Boxes

I like to run it hot!
It’s mostly microcrystalline wax so flash point is around 225.c -245.c
After 10-15 minutes of cooking 4 coats of concrete paint is applied and within 30 minutes the boxes are completely dried!

Do u use oil based or latex paint? They look good!

[@bensbees9761]

Both water based and oil based will work but this concrete paint is oil based
