Default RE: Making Silicone String wax?

duck, i found what we are looking for on the other site. it said to use a 2-1-1 mixture of beeswax/bohning silicone string wax/rosin.
i used pine rosin i gathered from pine trees, a couple of partial sticks of the store bought string wax w/ silicone and other additives and 2 pounds of beeswax. put all of this into an aluminum pie plate that is about 2 inches deep and put it on the stove in a double boiler, this didn't work fast enough for me so i put it directly on the eye on very low heat and never left unattended, after about 20 minutes the whole deal had melted and mixed well, i then poured it off into cupcake holders. stuff works great. if you have the time it was worth it to me as i will prob never have to buy string wax again.
