Liquid Waxes
Well I have read a few labels on various liquid waxes and the are a few ways to go about it. Emulsions are one way, another way would be a mixture of powder carnauba and mineral spirits with some sort of oil as a lubricant. I have not seen anything posted on such an experiment so this one will definately be by scratch. I think that it is flashing more than disolving when it comes to liquid waxes, but I am no chemists and it is just a guess.

Hard Waxes
A few samples of homebrew were sent out to a couple of people so I can get some unbiased opinions. Just seeing how usable a homemade wax really is. What I sent out would be considered a soft wax to me. I will be brewing up a hard wax off off of this recipe
7g bees wax
7g carnauba
3g Candellilia wax
10 ml of turpentine
25 ml of linseed oil
8g of coconut oil
This recipe actually yields a half decent wax.
Also on the agenda is a liquid wax, which I have no real idea where to start.
