Yep Fisher & Wing, it's called a Parrafin treatment. A lot of salons offer it as a moisturizing hand treatment as well. The best was to use it is keep a dedicated crock pot or buy a parrafin warmer (I'm sure you can find one on Craigslist for cheap). Wash your hands well and then coat your hand with a nourishing oil or heavy moisturizing cream. Dip it into the wax and pull it out until it cools and matti files, then dip again and maybe a third time. Slide the dipped hand into a plastic or ziploc baggy and then into some oven mitts or towels to retain the heat. Then sit back and enjoy the heat, you worked hard today! After about 10 minutes or so, the wax will have cooled and you can remove it in one piece. You hands should have absorbed all of the moisturizer, as the heat helps it to penetrate deeper into the skin.
Worked hard this spring overhauling a run that suffered lots of damage last winter. I removed the whole roof, gave it a more steep pitch, reinforced the trusses with heavier wood and replaced some 1/4 inch plywood (WHAT was I thinking there?) with 1/2 inch. I plan to build a bigger coop perhaps with some storage space for the goat's hay, but in the mean time... Put a coop that I intend to use for breeding in that space. Here it is!
Looks awesome! I want one.
