"i like the idea of using veg oil in the wax to smooth it out..good
idea."

I liked that idea too, until I tried it. Didn't like the results; resist
qualities not optimum. Glazes applied over this mix didn't fully resist.
Too bad, as veg oil is cheap and easy to get.
I have tried alot of wax mixture additives over the years, and have
settled on "Liquid Parafin" from Lamplighter Farms. Good flow improvement
over straight wax, and minimal toxic smell.
Funny how we all seem to so often get different results, and come up with
different solutions.
