Note this is not a guarantee for a sample, also if you receive a sample feedback is critical in furthering the development and advancement of the product.

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.

Awesome
Agreed!
Thanks for viewing and contributing

Very cool thread. Thanks!

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

thank you
I haven't gotten to adding the more expensive ingredients yet, basically working with an all natural wax base in most of these but >~$10 with jars

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.

I appreciate all of this input! I will look into DuPonts polymers
That'd be appreciated please let me know
Added you to the list and haha something along those lines

Pretty cool project, ive been wanting to do the same

thank you, whats your plan of attack then? once you start let me know as I'd like to follow your progress. Be warned it's strangely addictive! Good luck

Also would everyone like to see in this wax? Anything in particular?

Very cool project and nice pictures of the project as you move through the projects.

Thanks Mike! I appreciate the positive input and support! Maybe one day this product could be featured in one of yours / autogeek's great and informative write-ups!

Nice work man, you coming out to the local meet next weekend? if so bring some and ill bring my DD to try it out on

I'm trying to, unsure as of yet, if I can make it and If I have a ProtoWax I'm happy enough with I'll gladly bring it for some test and tune
