Waxed vs. Unwaxed Hemp: When to Use Unwaxed

The choice between waxed and unwaxed hemp depends on your preferences and needs:

• Waxed Hemp: Pre-coated with wax for immediate use, ideal for quick maintenance and a consistent grip.
• Unwaxed Hemp: Preferred by pipers who want more control over the application of wax. Adding pure beeswax allows for customized thickness and grip tailored to your specific requirements.

Technical Specifications:

How to Use:

Wrap the unwaxed hemp around the tenons, drones, or stock joints to create an initial layer. For a more secure grip, apply pure beeswax to the hemp during or after wrapping. This allows for precise adjustments to thickness and grip while ensuring an airtight seal.
