Wax applicator for log growing
Almost a must for stock farming. Wax applicators of the highest quality designed for quick and easy application of wax over holes in grafting logs that contain mycelial plugs and/or fast-growing mycelium. Wax is a must when growing logs and precisely the application of the wax can be a bit time-consuming without the right tools. So we developed these which make the job much easier and faster.
Heat the wax in a separate pan in a water bath until it melts. Dip the wax applicator into the melted wax and then apply over the grafted holes you have made in the log. A simple "dut" is enough per hole.
Many people graft their logs outdoors, and it can help if you have a gas burner or similar so that you can always have the wax blown while you work with it. The wax solidifies quickly without a heat source, and at lower temperatures, such as in autumn, it hardens very quickly.
You can also seal the sides of the log by stroking with the wax applicator. Then, however, it takes years more wax. So finish with this if you have wax left over. By having wax on the sides of the log, you lock in a lot of moisture, and lock out contamination or competing mycelium.
Orders placed before 11.00 a.m. are usually shipped the same day. We deliver with DHL and deliveries usually take 2-3 working days. Fungal mycelium is resistant but cannot withstand high temperatures. If the climate exceeds 25, we wait for cooler temperatures before sending the packages in order for your products to arrive to you in the best possible condition.
