Ok, so it pissed rain all day today, not trials on the wax yet. However yesterday, I found Batch 2 and 3 with turpenoid didn't mix and seperated under the top layer it was chucked. Made two more batches today. Batch 6 and seven, where I increased the oil content of the mixture, increasing one oil at a time. They came out pretty good and Batch 6 will go to test tomorrow, I am definitely getting a feel for how to create the consistency of the wax I want. I found out that too much of a certain oil gives too oily a mixture. Increasing another oil leaves the wax feeling less greasy and workable. We are on the right track, tomorrow I will take the makeup of 6 and change the slovent to see what I get. Already pitched one solvent as useless, turpenoid will only clean brushes from now on
