Refresher block for your vegan food cloths and wraps

Bevar det Vel has made these brilliant wax blocks so that you can refresh your wax canvases when they are getting worn out and the wax has eventually worn off/washed off.

The wax blocks are melted and applied to the cloth. It's both a nice DIY activity and very durable to give the old wraps new life instead of throwing them away.

With a round of new wax, they can last up to a whole year more if you continue to treat them gently.

Here you get 1 vegan wax block of 15-20g.

Approx. one molten block per depending on the size of the cloth.

The mixture in these vegan refreshment blocks consists of: coconut oil, jojoba oil, dammar resin, plant wax and cocoa butter - and that is exactly all you need to freshen up your vegan food cloth or wrap so that it both keeps the food fresh and closes tightly.

How to refresh your food cloth

There are two ways you can give your food cloth a new go wax on; In the oven or with the iron.

Use disposable gloves, as the wax mixture can be very sticky.

Refreshing in the oven:

• Switch the oven to 120 degrees.
• Use a deep baking tray and place the food cloth on a piece of baking paper on the tray.
• Melt the block of wax over a water bath.
• Spread the mixture on the food cloth with an old brush or a silicone spatula. A relatively hard spatula works best.
• Now put the baking tray with the "waxed substance" in the oven. The wax will spread on the fabric if there are areas that have not been saturated.
• After just a few minutes, take the plate out and air the food cloth back and forth. The cooling is fast.
• NOTE! The wax is hot, so be careful and wear gloves.

Refresh with an iron:

• Cover your ironing board with an old piece of fabric (important!)
• Place the tea towel on a piece of parchment paper.
• Melt the wax over a water bath.
• Spread the mixture on the tea towel with an old brush or a block silicone spatula. A relatively hard spatula works best.
• Place the fabric with the wax mixture on the fabric-covered ironing board and also place a piece of baking paper on top of the cloth with the wax mixture.
• Iron on top of the baking paper and be careful not to get wax on the iron.
• When you are satisfied, lift the food cloth from the baking paper and fan it back and forth. The cooling is fast.
• NOTE! The wax is hot, so be careful and wear gloves.

Tips and good advice:

Use old and old utensils, as the wax mixture can be difficult to get off.

If wax gets on the baking sheet, put it back in the oven (without baking paper and fabric) and when the wax has melted again, remove it with a piece of paper towel. Then wash the plate with soap and water.

Carnauba wax is a plant-based wax which is also the hardest, natural wax available.
It is extracted from the leaves of the palm tree Copernicia Cerifera, which grows in Brazil. It consists of wax esters (85%), free fatty acids, fatty alcohols and resins (15%).
The wax comes as yellow flakes/powder and it only has a very faint smell.

It is a vegan alternative to beeswax and can, among other things, used to make creams, pomades and ointments. One of its good properties is that it is emollient and moisturizing in skin care products.

Carnauba wax is somewhat harder than beeswax and therefore the recipes for what you have to make have to be adjusted down a bit. beeswax if you replace it with it.
The wax has a melting point of 80°-85°

You can also use carnauba wax to make vegan beeswax paper. See how to do it here in our guide
