home made wax

Finally got round to making wax's based on Gary's recipes.The grey one started off as Zen wax and the tan one started off as 360. I say started off as I kept modifying them (adding more carnuaba and magnesium carbonate) to try and get what I was after.I wanted something I could use like a softish clay in the initial build up and then when cooled to room temperature behaved like a hard tooling wax to take fine detail.
I don't think that perfect wax exists but these seem to be a good compromise.
