It will be the first time that I will make my own paste beeswax polish. From what I have heard it is a 5 to 1 ratio. That is one part beeswax for 5 parts of mineral oil. The first recipe I have is: 1 part beeswax for 5 parts of mineral oil. The second is : 1 part of beeswax for 3 parts of mineral oil and 2 parts of vegetable oil The third is : 1 part of beeswax for 4 1/2 parts of mineral oil and 1/2 part of carnauba wax. The fourth is: 1 part of beeswax for 2 part of turpentine and 3 parts of mineral oil. And it goes on and on with all kind of recipes. As for the preparation, some are using double boilers on the stove top. Other are using the microwaves and some simply place the recipient on a wood stove. The raw beeswax is either purchased from local beekeepers or some re-sellers that at time may get the wax from China. At this time, I do not have a procurement source for raw carnauba wax. The mineral oil I can either get it from the drugstore or the farm feed-store. It will be my first time and I would appreciate some feedback from the woodturners community. TIA
