It’s called Tackee wax. It’s sold on Etsy. At www.karbenkreations.com easy to use. Slice off a little and use your thumb to smear it on the gourd, skull or whatever you want to. Easy!
Campeche wax from the Campeche region of Mexico. It’s made by stingless bees and is a darker wax than regular beeswax.
