How could you forget? I practically burned down the house, as I confessed
in my previous post! I heated the paraffin and linseed oil on the stove,
and trust me, they melt faster than you can say jack rabbit. And easily,
too. Use low heat. When the proportions in my post are mixed together,
they are solid at room temp. Varying the amount of linseed oil would take
care of that, but I don't see any reason to even use linseed.
