Hemp Seal is like beeswax, only better. It's spreadable, it doesn't dry out, and it stays slightly tacky. This makes it great for the first few winds of hemp on any hemp job. It's also great for the last winds, since Hemp Seal waterproofs hemp and sticks down loose ends. Just apply it with your fingertip. This is definitely something to keep in your pipe case, and the screw top jar makes it easy to use and store.
