Going on Tony's recipe of 1 cup of each of the three ingredients, I took
a cube of beeswax that displaced 1 cup of water (cube of wax was 2.5 x
2.5 x 2 inches), put it in the freezer overnight, grated it into fine
shavings using an ordinary hand food grater, and put these shavings into
a jar along with 1 cup of fresh mineral spirits. The resultant mixture
appears to be the consistency of peanut butter to which a generous
handful of coarse sawdust has been added. There is nothing approaching a
solution. In fact, not even all of the wax particles have been wetted.

Do I just wait and see what happens, do I add more mineral spirits (say
1/2 cup more), and then should I increase the amount of BLO to 1.5 cups?

As always, thanks for your guidance.

Cheers, John
