I’m trying to make a food safe wax. First batch I made was 8oz walnut oil, 1/3 cup beeswax and 1/3 cup carnauba. Came out great. Needs to be scraped out of can but spreads good. Haven’t used on raw wood yet. Did not dry after 24 hours on top of shellac.
2nd smaller batch was more a buffing was. Mixed 50/50 carnauba and beeswax. Came out hard as a rock. I remelted and added 8 Table spoons of beeswax. Still flakes. Then added 2 table spoons of parafin and 2 more beeswax and tiny walnut oil. It’s drying but I’m not optimistic.
What can I add to that batch above that will soften it up but also be food safe? Suppose mineral oil but I worry it was haze or buff out.
