I bought some beeswax to restore some old meers and it's yellow. Is this the wrong stuff? Is it suppose to be white?
Also how do you apply it to the pipe?

I think that is the best method Nsfisher. Hopefully I can score some white beeswax from the beewrangler
I'm going to bump this because I am wondering if it is ok to use the yellow beeswax because that is what I have already. Also I remember Storient posting somewhere how the best way to restore meerschaums. Does anyone remember what thread it was?
Don't remember the thread but the yello beeswax realy shouldn't hurt anything. Hell I use burts bees strait bees wax lip balma and it works fine. It is best to apply when the meer I warm. I work it in once a month while I smoke it and then buff the pipe with a cotton rag once the wax cools.
Photoman, I just ordered white beeswax, if you want a stick or two of it PM me. I won't be able to use it all up. It suppose to be in next week.
