Worked great when I re-felted my 8-ft 3-slate pool table. Only thing is that as I'm not an expert on re-felting tables I would recommend purchasing 2 sticks as I ran out at the end. BTW you have to find a way to melt the wax to use it. I used the iron I use to wax my skis. Maybe a clothes iron would work? Maybe not.....

These are only 1 oz bars but they did the job. I was expecting half a pound (8 oz bars). I bought two just in case we might need them. I am glad we did.I will give a hint: You can use a blow torch to heat the bees wax but make sure you hold the bar with a pair of tongs or something. Then hold the bar about 3 inches or so over the spot you want to put the bees wax. Start heating it and let it drip on the slat (in the cracks or holes).DON'T try to heat the bees wax with the torch blowing toward the table. This will cause the bees wax to be blown away from the crack or hole you want it in.When you are finished just let it dry and scrap off the excess bees wax making the slate table smooth.I was happy with the product but I was mislead when I read the shipping weight. It says 8 oz and it is only 1 oz per bar. An 8 oz bar would have been easier to hold. The shipping was way too much. I would advise that you buy 2 or more bars to make sure you have plenty to do the job. 1 bar would have done the job but we didn't get the hang of it until we had already used up most of the 1st bar.

Used an electric heat gun (did not have an acetylene torch) to melt the wax for a pool table re-install. The package provided about 25% more wax than I needed to fully seal the seams on a 48X96 3-slate pool table. This was the first time I ever did a pool table re-felting after I moved the table to do a basement renovation. All products to do this job were purchased off Amazon, including this beeswax, and all worked as advertised. I melted the wax, dripped it into the seams where the slates meet, scraped it smooth with an 8" spackle knife, re-melted the scrapings over the seams two more times scraping with the spackle knife after each application and came away with a perfectly smooth surface upon which to place the new felt. I would recommend you watch how to videos available on the internet to do the whole process. Saved myself over $550 by DIY.

It just rolled up over the cracks on the slate and didn't really smooth out the lines where the slate met. I would not recommend it to anybody for filling the lines in the surface of the slate.

Although I'm not a professional when it comes to setting up pool tables, I've moved mine four times now and have always set it up myself. Up until this most recent time, I had always used the plaster/putty to seal the seams between the slate. My wife did a bit of research and suggested we give bees wax a shot. After reading the other reviews of people saying there wasn't enough wax to get the job done, I was a little scared; there was more than enough though. I used a heat-gun on the slate and pressed the wax into it so it would melt into the cracks. All said and done, I had over an inch of this bar left (not including the thin pieces I scraped off the table with a putty knife), and couldn't be happier with the result.

We ordered beeswax from Larkin Supply & were surprised when we received two. I never got a chance to weigh them, so I'm not sure if 2 equaled an ounce or not. My hubby held the beeswax with a wrench & used a blow torch to melt it & let it drip into the seams. Later he used a putty knife to get the worst of the excess off, then sanded the seam smooth. After filling some shallow scratches, there is about 3/4 of one piece of beeswax left.(Unfortunately, I didn't weigh or measure the beeswax to give you a better idea of how much we received & used)He plans on using , which we purchased locally, to fill deeper scratches.By the way, we were debating whether to buy this beeswax or beeswax with resin. Most diy instructions we read used beeswax so we finally decided to go with the majority.

Many of the reviews point out that this is a small piece of wax. With this in mind, I purchased two pieces of wax for the purpose of fixing an imperfection in the slate (1-2 cubic centimeter chip) and filling in the seams of a 3 piece table. One piece of the wax was more than enough for my purposes. It was my first time using wax on a pool table, even after several attempts there was a quarter piece of wax left over.

It is as advertised. It is about 1 inch squared and 3 inches long. It worked well to seal the seam of my poll table and even fill any pits/chips in the slate. Good product
