The leadership was African-American, much of the political and financial support came from labor unions (led by Walter Reuther), major religious denominations, and prominent white politicians such as Hubert Humphrey and Lyndon B. Johnson. The movement was characterized by major campaigns of civil resistance.
Beeswax has a relatively low melting point range of 62 Â°C to 64 Â°C (144 Â°F to 147 Â°F). If beeswax is heated above 85 Â°C (185 Â°F) discoloration occurs. The flash point of beeswax is 204.4 Â°C (400 Â°F). Density at 15 Â°C is 958 kg/mÂ³ to 970 kg/mÂ³. Natural beeswax: When cold it is brittle; at ordinary temperatures it is tenacious; its fracture is dry and granular. The sp. gr. at 15 Â°C [59 Â°F] is from 0.958 to 0.975, that of melted wax at 98 Â°C to 99 Â°C [208.4 Â°F to 210.2 Â°F] compared with water at 15.5 Â°C [59.9Â°F] is 0.822.
What equipment do I need to melt and filter beeswax? To melt the wax, you need to make a double boiler. Get a large external metal pot and a smaller internal bowl. For an internal bowl you can use a heat-resistant glass pot (like a Pyrex measuring jug), tin can or another pot made from stainless steel, enamelled steel or aluminum.
