- Pete Rickard's 5 pound wax
Reccommended process:
Once most of the feathers are removed by the plucker or hand.
- The wax mixture should be heated to between 150°F and 185°F, depending on the age of
the Duck / Geese. - Allow for the wax to melt and surface to the top than dip into a wax mixture for 10–30
seconds, moving it backwards and forwards in the wax to ensure the most wax to the bird. - After the dipping step hang the bird by the legs to drain. Doing this will speed up the wax-
hardening process. - Dip the bird in ice cold water for 1 - 5 minutes.
- Bend the neck back over the body to crack the wax, then peel off the wax and the
remaining feathers.
**Note: If wax & water temperatures is too high you will find the wax coating on the bird
will be too thin, if your coating is too thin than increase the temperature of the mixture.***
