If you want the picture in the post try this in picassa online:
Since your original image size is quite small you might not see size options (step three above)
Then use the "Insert image" button on the forum to put the picture link in your post (or manually wrap the link in IMG tags)
And voila your pics:

I know this is an old thread but I was looking at wax sealing some bottles of stout. Anyhow the etched images website http://www.etchedimages.com/_catalog_60784/Dipping_Wax_for_Wine_Bottles?Page=1&Items=12 has grey bottle wax on clearance for $6 a pound. I think that might make it cheaper than screwing with crayons and glue sticks. Plus while grey isn't the most universal color you can buy cheap dry pigments at hobby stores. I'm going to dry adding a metallic copper pigment to the wax when I get around to waxing my bottles.

Well I got my Etched Images bottle sealing "wax" last week. Tonight I decided to heat up a pound of it in a $4 SS mixing bowl I picked up today. I threw it in the oven to do a majority of the melting since it was already hot from cooking. After it was most of the way melted I just threw the SS bowl on top of one of my small electric coil burners to melt rest of the way.
Here's my results from the plastic polymer they sell. I did seven bottles total as a test run. I still have plans on adding some copper powder to color the wax a bit. I found it best to dip quick and get the wax running down the bottle then set it on some wax/parchment paper to cool in case there are any drips. I have to say I'm a happy guy!

Looks good! I unfortunately missed the sale, but I do agree that if you can get decently priced bottle wax, it is the way to go.

dead thread lives!
I have been playing around with a formula for DIY bottle wax and today tried this combo: 8 crayons, 1/2 lbs of Gulf Wax, and 10 regular glue sticks.
seemed to do pretty well. I am just experimenting right now because in a week or so i'm going to bottle a barley wine and want to wax them. I MAY add a couple more glue sticks as the mixture seems a bit thin, but it still looks pretty damn good. I'm not sure how many bottles this amount would do, but i'm guessing almost a case or so
