Update I had enough wax and it probably took ~5g of the wax mix. I can't find cheap bottle sealing wax so I mixed paraffin, bees wax and linseed oil. If it is good mix I will see in few weeks when the linseed oil oxidises and it will harden a bit. I really don't want to pay 3,5 € / 100g of it when I have enough of some ingredients that hopefully get me close enough to it.
Other thing that didn't worked that well was the tape - it couldn't stick on the wet bottles (condensation from the fridge). So I will have to cut the seal with knife when I want to drink it, bit of an inconvenience and I hope I won't end up with wax in cider
