What a kilo can become

A kilogram of clean wax on your shelf is not a finished product, it is raw material waiting for a decision:

• Cosmetic buyers want it filtered pale and unscented.
• Foundation makers will take rendered wax back to remake into sheets for someone else's frames.
• A beekeeper willing to learn the craft can turn the same kilogram into something worth several times its raw price: rolled and dipped tapers, votives, tealights, poured pillars and containers, each with its own melting point, wick, and mould to get right.

That next step, candle making, is a separate skill and deserves its own study, not a page at the end of this one.

Grade and store what you render by quality as you go, so whichever path you choose later, the wax is ready for it.
