This clear food-grade paraffin wax is ideal for sealing holes in inoculated logs. One pound of wax is enough to seal about 10 logs with some variability, depending on the size of the logs and whether you choose to seal the ends. (Sealing the holes is critical to success because it protects the spawn from drying out and from contamination.)

If inoculating logs in fall and applying wax in temps below 50 degrees F, daubers and wax will harden quickly. Therefore, we recommend a plugged-in crock pot (vs. a pot taken from the stove) for dipping.
