Wax Shavings?

[ckskier]

So i searchbarred and found nothing, was just wondering if anybody has ever tried to melt down and reuse wax shavings? probably gonna try next time i scrape. just thought it would be a good idea to conserve wax

when you scrape all the dirt and shit in your bases comes out with what you scrape off, so probs not a good idea

i take the shavings, put it in my bubbler and smoke it...shit gets me ripped....
but really, thats a terrible idea...have you seen the color of those shavings?

ya it all gets really dirty from the shit that comes off your bases.

 

[Aaaron.]

collect it and make a candle out of it.

to save wax, you can use it like a crayon, and rub it on the bases, trying not to miss any spots. then take your iron and heat it up, melting the wax into the base. very little waste using this method. but it takes a little longer.

wax is dirty after you scrape it, so if you wanted to do this, you would have to melt it down, keep it liquid long enough for all the dirt to separate and fall to the bottom, and cool it. Ive heard of people doing this, but honestly can you not afford $15 every now and then?
