Mother's Day Mushrooms

My son, daughter-in-law and I planted a wood-chip bed of wine cap mushrooms from North Spore and a "log cabin" of shiitake spore plugs from North Spore on Mother's Day. A terrific day spent together, and things are starting to happen. My son drilled the holes in the logs, followed by his wife tapping the plugs in and I followed up with the melted wax, applied with the Wool Daubers. Great teamwork and time well spent together.

We're so glad you're enjoying the experience, Dawn! Thanks for the great review.

They serve their purpose well. Easy to clean and reuse. Can’t beat the price, either.

Wax Dauber

Works great and can be used over and over, just get it hot. Makes a messy process easier.

Outstanding!

Perfect for sealing the plugs, I like that it's a 4 pack so the other can be kept sterile for other inoculations.

We're so glad you're loving these, Jake! Thanks for the great review.

Did the job!

I just inoculated a single 4' x 6" log with shiitake plugs and sealed with wax using these daubers. They seemed to hold just the right amount of melted wax with a minimum of dripping, and helped make quick work of the project - I'm sure they'd be especially useful for large projects!

Thanks for the great review, Ringo! We're so glad they are working out for you. Please reach out if you ever need anything!

Works great.

It is a good price for a set of four, and it helps to cover plugs and protect them with wax. What more to say?

Thanks for sharing, Steven! If you need help with anything, please reach out.

Wonderful

This is my first time using Shiitake mushroom plugs. The tools that Northspore.com has available helped this process to go smoothly and I am not waiting for the fruiting to happen!! Love Northspore.com

A lot better than the brush I was using.

Works as Expected

Works. They stayed together well and were sufficient for waxing the plugs.

Thanks for sharing, Chris! We really appreciate the kind review.

These are awesome!

They are great! Easy to use. I used one for about 75 plug holes and would have continued to use same one but my partner decided to toss it. I left it in the wax and the handle never got hot. Love these!

Thanks for sharing, Heidi! We really appreciate the kind review.

So handy

Perfect size to do the job. Each one lasts a long time. The little metal handle doesn't carry heat to the fingers. I have unhooked the ends a little so it could grab the edge of my wax bowl and not fall in. Right tool for the job

We're so glad these worked well for you, Margaret! Thanks for the great review.

Hanna Jardel
As a proud DIYer and cheapskate...

Totally worth it. I don't really get why it work so much better, but the time saved is *well* worth the money if you have anything more than maybe 2 logs to seal. I like them so much that I'm trying to figure out how to best salvage the one I used for a 10-log project

Best method for waxing logs

Excellent tool for bees wax sealing of logs. I tried many Mathis’s including brushes and sponges but these work well, I used one for 12 logs with dozens of holes and I only used one, then disposed it.

The cotton is dense but very soft. Maybe I will buy these again for a different use.
