Softvoks sealing wax, cobalt blue, 500 ml

Softvoks is a sealing wax specially developed for sealing bottles.

When melted, it is slightly softer and thinner than the sealing waxes with item numbers 3272 – 3286, and once applied, its softness is somewhere between cheese wax and those waxes. Its thinner consistency when melted means it can be applied in a thinner layer. Softvoks can be peeled off bottles with your fingers, whereas you need a knife to remove the other type of sealing wax.

As a rule of thumb, you can seal about twice as many bottles with Softvoks as with the other type of sealing wax, as it is more free-flowing when melted. However, if you want a thick layer of wax, use the wax as a decorative feature on your bottles, or your bottles may get a few knocks before they reach the customer's table, it is best to use the other type of wax instead of Softvoks.

Instructions: This product is only sold in aluminium trays. You therefore need to place the whole block in a heavy-based non-stick pan, or in a container in a water bath at 100 °C, to melt the amount you need. If you don't want to melt the whole block, you can lift out the unmelted part once enough has melted. Dip the bottle necks in the wax and leave them to dry.

Please note: This wax melts at around 75 °C but should be heated to around 100 °C to achieve the ideal runny consistency before dipping the bottles. This leaves a suitable layer of glossy wax on the bottle necks. Melted wax that has not been used can be reheated.

This wax is easy to use, unlike some other types of wax that have to be heated to 200 °C in an oil bath to melt.

The colours can be mixed if you want a different shade from those in the Dansk Hjemmeproduktion range.
