Yes I made that lube today.

3 ounces of Castor oil
1 ounce of melted bees wax give or take
100 grains of liquid Alox

I melted the bees wax in a double boiler. I have bottle and bottle of liquid Alox around the house, so I measured out 100 grains in to a small plastic pill cup. And then mixed all the liquids together. When the wax set, it made the consistency of slippery peanut butter. I was using it as a patch lube and it seemed to work pretty good. The patches I found were discolored but in perfect condition.

If it is too soft, just add bees wax. Too hard, add a little more Castor Oil.
