Traditional popular method of sealing wooden barrels until the wood swells.  Made from natural local beeswax harvested by our friends Ruth and John in Southern Illinois.  Approximately 3" x 1.5" x .75", weight just about two ounces.  Enough for  3 or 4 5L barrels.  See leaky barrel process below..
STEPS FOR LEAKY BARREL:  Always test the barrel for leaks with water before filling with more precious fluids.
BARREL RINGS:  Tighten by gently tapping them snug and even with a hammer or mallet.  A hoop driver can be fabricated and used.
STUFF IT:  Big holes will need to be stuffed with a splinter of wood or a toothpick.  Trim it off and sand down the excess.
SWELL IT:  Set in a pan or outdoors and fill with hot water.  Keep it topped off and roll around a few days until the leaks stop.
BARREL WAX:  Rub wax into leaky area.  Melt a little and drip if needed.  Stuff it in there good.
