Tony C' recipe

Tom



-1 lb. of Victory brown ( microcrystaline wax) This is the 'binder'
It's brown and gummy

-1 lb of white paraffin
makes it brittle

-1 lb white carving wax ( Polytex POLYWAX # 15)
it's rock hard and flaky....

-8 oz. Beeswax pellets
yellow

-A bunch of white and red Crayola crayons....color to taste.
makes it opaque

Melt everything in a medium suacepan over a medium heat. Stir constantly....

This batch is a little sticky...but it works nicely. Not very hard....but I ran out of ASBRO. I throw in ASBRO to make it harder.

Let me get that CORRECT formula....it's here somewhere.....I'll post it on a seperate thread. This was just me playing around with old wax I had in the garage.....It's working, works nicely with a wax pen...cools pretty hard... but the formula given to me by Tim Bruckner was better....
