To prepare this in the proper way, in quantity, a steam jacketted copper kettle is the best apparatus, and in this the following quantities of material are placed, until finally the whole mass is thoroughly amalgamated and uniform: 20 pounds yellow country pure beeswax all bro-ken or sliced 8 pounds carnauba wax 8 pounds paraffine wax When the waxes are melted, add 6 ounces of good pure oil soap and 10 Troy grains of fat oil yellow, lemon shade (oil soluble aniline) and 3 ounces synthetic oil of almonds (oil of myrbane); turn off steam and thin, while agitating the mixture with 6 1/2 gallons spirits of turpentine and 3 1/2 gallons heavy naphtha (turpentine substitute).
