To make 200 kilograms of alcohol solid wax product, use 1 kilogram of agar powder.
The specific process is very simple, boil the water and sprinkle the agar powder, stir it, so that it is completely melted, and continue to heat for a few minutes.
Then add room temperature alcohol, stirring and heating to 100 degrees at normal pressure, the steam should be recovered condensation reuse.
The mixture is inverted at 42 degrees or higher, and the product is ready when the temperature is lower than 42 degrees.
