Black Pre-waxed Hemp
Black Pre-waxed Hemp comes in a 2 ounce roll which is enough to do the joints on a full set of pipes leaving about a third of the roll for future hemping jobs.
Black Pre-waxed Hemp is a simple alternative to using yellow hemp and a black wax roset or beeswax. The black wax has been applied to give a gripping consistency to the hemp and makes for a really good drone joint which glides easily when tuning the drones.
When applying the black pre-waxed hemp, it is important to note that it spreads slightly when pressure is applied. So when doing a joint it is recommended that after each layer use a small wood block to flatten the hemp. When starting each layer after the first it is advisable to start and finish a few millimetres from the top and bottom. This allows the hemp to spread without going over the top or down the slide.
If applied well, the black pre-waxed hemp will make a joint that will last for at least a couple of years.
