    Is that similar to something like the polycharger that AG carries?

    I've heard and read so many mixed things on polymers, and their performance..

    I have some silicone on order which I imagine will act similar to these polymers

    Lol it's definitely fun, time consuming, and gets expensive quickly!

    Maybe we could get a running sample list if there are others interested? (Granted the wax is not sample ready and a time frame is unknown)

    Yeah definitely I'll sample some and put up my thoughts on it.

    Always good to learn how wax is effected by the mixture. Thanks for posting this.

    Very cool thread. Thanks!

    What do you guess is the cost of the raw materials in each batch?

    Cool project. FYI on the coconut oil, yes it melts to liquid at or above room temps. Since you asked :-).

    Store any residual in a cold dark place, and if it food grade, use it on your food, way healthier than other oils. :-)

    Also, you can go to one of the DuPont sites and order gloss enhancing polymers to mix in, not sure which ones but I have seen them. (My lady makes, makeup as her hobby) I can ask her if she knows! She orders all sorts of stuff

    Also I will test out your wax for you, would be fun helping anyone make a masterpiece, plus maybe when you go mass production we will get a first run pot for free hahaha.
    Back to the full-time grind.
