Thanks for the pointer, Bruce!
I looked at Merck online, but it was a little dense for my poor brain...
Is it Carnauba wax that is soluble in fat solvents, and is Turpentine a Fat
solvent? (The recipe is mostly beeswax, which is easier to dissolve, but has
to have around 15% carnauba)
The 77 degree part, I get :-)
