Nice, for small pieces I find a beauty salon wax warmer works well for melting beeswax and keeping it to a consistent temp without burning it. Have you tried gilding steel while hot with a brass brush?
That’s a fascinating idea, and I’m a bit embarrassed I didn’t think of it considering I sometimes finish small parts like tack’s in a large batch by heating all of them up and dumping them into wax which melts it all. And I have done the wire brush on a piece of steel trick, I love doing it on things with a lot of aggressive facets or corners, like when I forged my sister a (very miniature) Christmas tree.

Does cooking oil go bad on the metal?
It does, it takes a while, and if anyone is actually using the utensil it won’t, however if you leave it long enough it will go bad
If you ever go academic, you should consider research scientist. You’d be great!!
Material sciences could be cool, but it’s too many numbers on a screen
