I doubt if this is a cost affective exercise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coblerkai2 Posted November 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 When your heat lamp is on like mine most of the time ,just seems like a bonus to me !could turn off the lights in the shop to offset the usage ,and use candles as a light source and to melt the scrap wax .and run the machines by bike dynamo ,great gym workout ,just ideas people might like squark squark :))) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 When I have used my stick of wax, the bit I have left is so small it would take me 25 years to save enough bits to create a piece as big as that. I don't waste very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 so a stick of yankee is a couple of quid, if you get left with 10% thats 20p so you have 2 sticks there, but will still be left with 40p to melt next time round so all that work has saved you maybe £3.50, but has cost you a fair amount of time & storage (every square inch of a shop has its overhead) you'd be better filling the same space with key blanks, they'll make you more. years and years ago I did this & found it used to break up and just wasnt as good or as easy as a new stick. BIN, work smart not hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coblerkai2 Posted November 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 Or you could just use those bits on your wax pad!!! And don’t forget to fit a Dynamo to your scouring wheels which will generate power to charge your battery energy storage from home to grid scale, solar panels and solar roof tiles, and related products and services,the world is out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Count Muppet Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 Do what you want with the dust, collect it up to use with superglue if you like. I’m just wondering what animal goes “squark squark” ? Lee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coblerkai2 Posted November 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 Not animal it’s the supersymmetric counterpart of a quark, with spin 0 instead of 1/2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
