frozen wax-resist

Hello from Holland.

We've had a very tough winter here and my bottle with wax-resist
(indeed very expensive) has frozen. So it became thick and I tried to
get it fluid again by heating it. Wrong! It became even thicker than
before. So what can I do about this; I asked the producer, he didn't
know. Does anyone else?

Lex--I think your wax resist is dead. Here in Wisconsin I always order it
during the warm months, because I know if it freezes in transit it's a
goner.
