According to James Hansen ---candles may create a problem ----so we are using Pure
refined Paraffin Wax --until further notice. ---I should get royalties from Conros --?
Ja ? I recommend using ParoWax.
NO I have NO connection to that company.
There are TWO reasons for adding the wax . --When I first used it many years ago it was
to lubricate the IP.---------then one day it dawned on me that it may provide a second
benefit.
what ? ????? " Ignition " ---with some bad fuels the ignition delay is
considerable ---the wax has a very short delay.--so ? it sets off the charge. --a very
small amount makes a BIG difference.
I learned about this principle during WAR # 2 ---when I made batches of BLACK POWDER --a
small amount of Yellow Sulfur is added to improve ignition quality.--Sulfur ignites at
very low temperature.
So you see? a little dab will do ya ---- and it is cheap when on sale. on the back
of the box it states as follows : Waxing Skis ---Snow showels Zippers and Drawers and so
on. And make your own Candles.
Artistic Candles --wait so I tell Lenora and Sigrid ---( I have to hide my full boxes
first)

PS : there is a third function --and that reason is very important for worn
IP's----VISCOSITY.
The OLD hams here knows about Sulfur and Glycerin mix ----Letharge ? I have to ask Doyt
Echelberger about that one.
