Found this from 2006, Mike Gordon
If all else fails, try this. Robert Fournier taught me this mixture;
equal parts of light machine oil (we used to call it bicycle oil) and
candle wax. once warmed up (notice the word *warmed*) it can be kept
fluid by sitting the container in a bath of hot water. It brushes onto
work beautifully, fine lines are a wiz, doesn't fry your brushes,
doesn't give off horrid fumes, and won't burn you if you get it on your
hands. I prefer it to wax emulsion by a mile.

I did wonder then, what is it like if you wax the feet of pots then take
hold of same feet in order to dip them in the glaze bucket? (As you said it
is a little soft...) Or is it better?

Because it is a soft wax it picks up dirt very easily.=3D20
I have an electricly heated pan with almost straight wax in it for feet. Th=
