American Barrel Wax Seal Wood Barrel Leak Seal (2 oz) - Wine Bourbon, Tequila, Mini Whiskey Keg and Keg - Wood Barrel Wax Sealer for Small Oak Kegs, Aging Whiskey

The tin I received was full of product. Some reviews said it was near empty. I’m glad I bought this when I did because it was needed to plug a small leak on my barrel. I cured my barrel for 6 days and yet it still leaked from the front band when the plug was pulled. The wax stopped the leak.

I was trying to use natural beeswax on my barrel and it never really sealed it, one application of this wax fixed everything. Great product and I wish I had gotten this first.

Overall, this did what it needed to do. I have a Thousand Oaks 5L aging barrel. It is one of three barrels I own from various companies. The Thousand Oaks barrel is the only barrel that has never fully sealed. I gave their wax a try and it did the trick, but it also discolored the surface of the barrel and took 3/4 of the can to get the barrel to fully seal. It is finally sealed and has not leaked after about two months of aging a product.

I have a new 2L and a new 5L oak barrel for finishing white dog distillate in, and both leaked horribly during the initial soak in phase. After 3 days of pretty decent leaks (over 3 oz and 6 oz respectively) I thought I'd give this a try. Holy moly - I used it with my finger to gently push into the crease of the staves where I noticed leaking, and the wax held. I also heated up some wax with a flame and used a small paint brush to work it in around the barrel head/stave junction, and the leaks stopped! This stuff is a life saver - I'll give the angels their share, but I'm not giving up what I can control. Super impressed with this product.

Open the container, stick your finger in it and rub it where barrel is leaking, in my case it stopped leaking.
