Never tried beeswax alone but can tell you it’s very thick when mixed with water. I think it’s going to go on “chunky” unless you get enough beeswax only in there so when you dip you end up with so much wax on your scions that they’ll be coated way too heavy and look like candles. Here’s my recipe. You can see what I do and how you might be able to change it around. Best I can say. Dax
