If you get a small pour cup like an old creamer cup like for coffee or tea or a disposable cup and use that to pour the wax at an angle over the top of the cheese you will get that smooth finish you are looking for without the brush marks

I would also like to one day to visit you at the farm to watch you working with the goats especially when they would be close to having their babies I should put it on my bucket list❤️ Hope you and your family have a wonderful week and you finally get some much needed rain Love you all❤️❤️❤️

For blue wax just add blue food coloring to white wax.

It won't mix well if the food coloring is water based. A gel might work since its less water.

Your cheese is beautiful! Thank you for this video! I used to have milk goats and my chees never turned out that pretty. I've done better with sheep milk. You might want to try a colby recipe which has you "wash" the curds (you really just remove some of the whey and add cold water) before pressing them.

Hey GF, I have a suggestion, have you thought about using waxed floss to make a type of hanger so you can dip your cheese in one step and then cut the string sealing the string with a few strokes of the brush. It’s a thought. You may have tried it. 😊

What if you got an old fashioned round crock pot to melt the wax in. Then get a sling perhaps one of the silicone ones they make for the Instant Pots. Then you could dip the cheese and hang it to dry. You would have to move the sling around a bit but it might work and the crock pot can usually be picked up in a thrift store. Just a thought also the crock pot would have a lid that you could use to keep stuff out. Looks awesome. God bless.
