It works perfectly in spring/autumn/summer (temp range 20-35), gets a bit sticky above 30 degrees. Top choice for me in all temp ranges I’ve tried is recipe (b) – that is, 60g rosin, 30g wax and a dash (say 5g) tallow. So some notes about the coad, two years on (3)Store the coad in water between uses to keep it as good as the day it was made. Using cold water would probably work ok too, though may cause rosin to crystallise before there is time to taffy-pull. (2) use Luke warm water in the bucket, otherwise coad sticks to your hands badly. if it is bubbling (ie hotter than melting temp) stir and let cool a bit before pouring into bucket. (1) bring the mix just to melting temp, no hotter. Wet your hands then knead the coad between your palms with until it starts feeling stretchy, then taffy pull until it is a constituent colour (no streaks) and continue kneading/pulling until the coad is down to near room temp. Remove mix from the oven as soon as it is fully melted (30-40min I found), stir for a few minutes with the knife to let it cool a bit, then gently pour into the bucket of water. In the 10min periods, prep a cheap plastic bucket 2/3 full of water at body temp. Stir every 10min using an old knife (it’ll never be the same again). Method: combine ingredients in a ramekin, and place in the oven at 150C (electric oven, not gas!). An old lump of the stuff shown next to the renewed version for comparison. (d) a re-melt of my old recipe (3:1 rosin:wax), then added wax to make it up to 2:1 as it was too hard before. (c) 18g pine rosin, 36g pitch, 6g wax (1:2:0.333) – rosin courtesy of Wayne Robinson (sealing pitch from the UK), recipe courtesy of Francis Classe & the Crispin Colloquy (b) 60g pine rosin, 30g wax, ‘some’ tallow to soften (a) 60g pine rosin, 30g wax (2:1) – courtesy of Al Muckart The code in the above photo were made (from top to bottom) In order to ensure that the stitches stay firmly in place, rosin needs to be added.Ī video that I did on coad making can be found here When using coad for shoemaking, you should also burnish all the seams, as it helps to melt the coad and glue the whole seam shut.īasically wax by itself is a lubricant, so even though it fills space and slightly waterproofs thread, it is mainly there to help the thread move through the stitch holes (and doesn’t glue it in place much at all). It’s slippery when hot but very sticky at room temperature so while you’re pulling it quickly through a stitch, it runs smoothly but as soon as you pull it tight it glues up permanently. The coad is rubbed into all of the thread. HFS clients enjoy state-of-the-art warehousing, real-time access to critical business data, accounts receivable management and collection, and unparalleled customer service.Firstly, what is coad? Coad, also known as shoemaker’s wax, is a mix of beeswax and resin, and acts as a glue when sewing leather together, helping to ensure that if one stitch is cut, the entire shoe won’t fall apart.
