Made a mistake and forgot to freeze the huge container of beeswax. Now it is a moldy mess.

Can I still melt this wax and end up with decent beeswax??


Thanks for the reply

the mold should strain out when melted.

No problem. All wax will get what is called a "bloom". A light mold. If it hasn't been well cleaned, it can get a heavy mold from the other substances. It will separate from the mold when remelted.
