This beeswax block used for hole punches and leather working tools as well as for waxing sewing thread is indispensable when sewing or working with leather. The great advantage is that punching and cutting tools glide more easily through the leather if they have been coated with beeswax beforehand. Also ideal for waxing yarns and twists to make them more resistant to abrasion and moisture, and because the wax makes the thread a little sticky so the knots hold better. Also suitable for edge polishing.
