Basic Paste Polish

10oz. Beeswax

1 pint Solvent (turpentine or white spirit)

  This simple blend makes an easy to use paste polish for furniture. The quantity of solvent can be varied to produce polishes of different consistencies; less solvent will make a firmer polish. Melt the wax and slowly raise the temperature to about 160F. Heat the solvent to a similar temperature and then blend it with the melted wax. Carefully pour the mixture into a container, leave to cool and set, then close the container securely.
