Instead bees wax is the best substance to protect them. Mixed together, they prepare ropes best without putting on weight. In the end, some tea tree oil drops lend ropes a very light and pleasant scent.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can use this wax if you want to make your ropes soft and sliding, especially if they are new. In particular, double ply or very tight ropes &#8211; generally those of European fabrication &#8211; are stiffer at the beginning, whereas Japanes ones are already enough soft, so much that many practisings simply wait that they\u2019ll became softer with use.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Personally, using Japanese ropes, I don\u2019t wax them, but there are some Japanese master preparing ropes this way.<\/p>\n<p>You don&#8217;t need to wax cotton, hemp or sintetic ropes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><br \/>\n80ml (ab. 50gr) of jojoba oil<br \/>\n200ml (ab. 150gr) of wheat germ oil<br \/>\n30\/40 tea tree oil drops<br \/>\n50gr of beeswax<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this quick tutorial I\u2019d like to share the recipe of my homemade rope wax.\u00a0It\u2019s&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3985,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24,25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1571","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nawame","category-vlogs-and-posts"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.laquartacorda.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1571","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.laquartacorda.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.laquartacorda.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.laquartacorda.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.laquartacorda.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1571"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/www.laquartacorda.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1571\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4038,"href":"https:\/\/www.laquartacorda.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1571\/revisions\/4038"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.laquartacorda.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3985"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.laquartacorda.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1571"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.laquartacorda.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1571"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.laquartacorda.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1571"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
