Subject:      A Homemade Waxoyl Experiment.........
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

I dont think this recepe is very safe becouse i took a
match to my little batch of Homemade Waxoyl and POOF!
up in flames. Maybe its the Church candle i used or
maybe its the turpentine i dont know. I dont like
coating my van with anything that stays flameable so
im not going to apply this.......perhaps i did
something wrong, here's what i did:
I picked up a couple quarts of Turpentine, a 16oz."San
Lazaro" candle for 1$ and a quart of motor oil. Then i
mixed about 1/3 of each into a small glass jar. First
i placed the jar filled with wax only on our old
coffee maker to melt the wax.....then i mixed 1/3
turpentine 1/3 motor oil and mixed and let cool. It
cools to feel a little harder than putty.

 the directions say this:
12 oz. candle wax/bee's wax
2 1/4 qts. turpentine
1 qt. mineral/light engine oil

Use a cheese grater to crumble the wax into the
turpentine, stirring
constantly. Place in a warm (not hot) place till the
wax is thoroughly
dissolved. Thin with mineral/engine oil to a
brushing/spraying
consistancy.
Use a garden type wand sprayer (the hand pump
type...don't muck up the
Graco) or a pump for 90 wt. gear oil. The goo is just
that...adhesive
and
pretty much stays where it's put. Great if it's used
where looks don't
count.

This stuff goes for about $40 a gal. under the WaxOyl
name, and both
Eastwood, and various British car suppliers sell it.

if you're not up
to all
this muck-ing about, and want someone else to do it;-)
