Oak Barrel Sealing Wax for Leaks in Wooden Barrels 0.25oz | THOUSAND OAKS BAR...

Swish Barrel Wax.

Barrels may leak from the head or stave seams or even through the wood. This can happen with any barrel and is a normal part of the barrel aging process. To stop leaks, apply a small amount of Barrel Wax to the leaking area.

Directions:

Find the source of the leak, usually around the barrel head or stave seams but on occasion liquid finds its way through the wood itself.

With your finger, apply a small amount of wax into the barrel where the hole or leak is occurring. Push the wax into the hole until the leak stops.

On occasion small amounts of liquid may begin seeping out. Empty contents into a glass container, fill with hot or boiling water and storing tablet solution and allow to sit for 10 minutes. Storing Tables are pre-measured doses of sulfites formulated to inhibit the growth of wild yeast and microbes in the barrel. Whenever you empty your barrel you should clean the inside with Storing Tablets to remove sugars settled in the top of the barre. Dissolve the tablets in hot water. Pour the mixture completely into the barrel and top off with additional hot water. Rinse three (3) times before filling the barrel with spirits.Re-apply wax to the area to stop leaking and pour your spirits back into the barrel.
