What this sheet is for
Trace a finished block or candle back to the comb it came from, and see which rendering method is actually giving you the cleaner wax.
Who it is for
Beekeepers rendering their own cappings and comb, and anyone selling blocks, candles, polish or foundation made from their own wax.
How to use it
- Give every rendering a batch number and use that number on the label.
- Record the source honestly — cappings, brood comb and scrapings behave very differently.
- Weigh what goes in and what comes out, in whatever unit you normally use.
- Describe colour and grade in the same words each time so batches can be compared.
- Use the lower table to tie finished products back to the batch number they came from.
What is on the sheet
2 pages, in this order:
Page 1
Printed under the title: Cappings, scrapings and old comb followed through rendering into finished blocks, candles, foundation or polish — one line per batch, with the batch number that goes on the label.
What you did, not how hot. Melting temperatures, filtering methods and how long a product keeps all depend on your equipment and what you are making — follow the guidance that came with your melter or moulds. This sheet records what you did and what came out of it, so a good batch can be repeated and a poor one traced back.

Questions
Why is there no melting temperature or filtering method printed?
Because it depends on your melter, your filter and what you are making, and beeswax is easy to spoil with heat. Follow the guidance that came with your equipment and write down what you actually did, which is what makes a good batch repeatable.
Why keep the rendering and the products in two tables?
Because one rendering often becomes several things on several different days. Splitting them means the batch line stays as it was written, and each product carries the batch number back to it.
