To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Within each kind of wax there are many modifications, determined largely by the varying proportion of the ingredients. The beeswax and resin wa,x is generally used, because it is simple to make and is composed of mate- rials that are easy to procure. BEESWAX AND RESIN WAXES. FOBMULA 1. Resin . . 4 pounds Beeswax . . 2 " Rendered beef tallow . 1 " Place the ingredients in a granite or an iron kettle and melt them until they are thoroughly incorporated. Remove the kettle from the fire and allow t...he mass to cool slightly, after which pour it directly into a vessel containing cold water. As soon as the mass is cool enough to handle, remove it from the water and work it with the hands until it assumes a light brownish, or a creamish color. The wax should now be made into balls of any convenient size and each ball wrapped in oiled paper until it is used. The hands are first greased with tallow when working the grafting wax. The tallow prevents the sticking of the wax to the hands. Where a very hard wax is wanted, and especially in the warmer sections of the country, a larger quantity of resin should be added to the mixture.
