I retired from the Navy three years ago, but still use my dress shoes on occasion. I'd heard about this method, but getting the equipment was prohibitive. I've got the equipment now, but I have a question. When you're melting in the wax, it's it absorbing into the leather, or is it just flowing down? I saw some was definitely, and that brought me to my next question. How do you deal with all that melted wax getting into the stitching?
Thanks for this! Can you post a video like this except showing the sanding process, to remove the factory finish to get ready for beeswaxing?

Most of the beeswax gets absorbed but if it does run down on to the welt I use an iPhone SIM card tool to scrape it out.
Beautiful. Keep up the great work! 👍
