I've just retrieved a couple of large candles that the Estates Manager was taking to the bin.
These are labelled "100% Stearin".
Is there any use to which stearin can be put in the woodworking world?
-Apart from the usual use of wax for lock lubrication, drawer sliders, the working faces of planes, etc....I've got plenty of paraffin wax candles for those jobs!
I make my own polishes using the usual beeswax/carnauba/mineral oil etc - could stearin be any use here?
