Very interesting as always, and surprised with the apparent ease with which you made your wax. I always imagined it to be more complicated. All the best for 2018, looking forward to seeing the channel's continued expansion.

it can get a lot more complicated rob. this is a basic wax that is relying on the Nuba to provide the performance. however the wax is not too dissimilar to a lot of waxes you can go and pay decent money for. And also the old school waxes are kind of nice in lots of ways. but in terms of durability and maintaining the hydrophobididity this wax is limited. When you start down the road of blending in other specialty chemicals it can get tricky in terms of the way you have to control temperatures for some components which you cannot exceed certain temps against others which you need to raise certain temps to disperse properly. Also the more things you add in the more considerations there are on performance and application factors etc.. specially when you start adding things which improve durability. you can make the wax unusable or hard to apply with some durability components. you can also make the wax like smeary with certain synthetic components you might add for gloss (not always though). It can start very simple but can get complicated and expensive quickly.

Big fan of the channel - please consider that part of the appeal is the honest, down to earth and genuine style, hopefully your snazzy new equipment won't make it too glitzy!!! Glad it's going well for you, always watch your vids.

Great Video Jon! Glad to see that you're finally up and running with patreon. I'm signed up!

If you use linseed oil, use raw oil rather than boiled oil: while the oil is (or at least was) boiled to speed up drying, typical boiled linseed oil contains dryers, which may not be food-safe.

can have a go. could be a tricky subject if you start factoring in the kind of synthetic or various speciality "things" you can blend into a wax. but in terms of what each natural wax gives and how much you should look to use.. then this you can sort of talk about. the best way to discover this is do raw wax blends with just solvent so you can lay the waxes down on a test panel and look at what they give. I did this in one of the wax log videos i think but I tended to waffle too much so maybe a sort concise video on what each wax provides would be the way forward. Ive added it to the TO DO list of videos.. so it will get done i promise. just no sure when

@ForensicDetailing

6 жыл бұрын

hey carson it should not do that.. I dont think thats ever happened to me. sounds like you have components in there that are seperating.. EG like oil and water dont mix and need emulsifers. a wax solvent oil blend does not need emulsifying. it might be possible you have not blended them togther enough. It might also be possible that the wax blend has too much solvent and oil so it OOZES like liquid out of the pours of the wax when you press it. so it could be a balancing issue, or it could be a product compatability issue, or could be as simple as needing more blending. very hard to say without kjnowing the method you are using and whats in it though buddy

I gotcha. I am doing the same process as you and I have two heating devices. I have a magnetic stirrer that mixes the liquid for around 5 minutes. The only thing I am doing different than you is that I can’t get my hands on the CarChem phase (I wish I could) because I’m in the USA. So I am using odorless mineral spirits which could be the problem. Also have you ever thought about making this type of wax in a spray form? Thought that’d be cool.

@ForensicDetailing

odourless mineral spirit. Its possible that could be the problem. so odourless mineral spirit could be a lot of different things. If you have bought like a solvent from a hardware store there could be some other things in that solvent blend. I would switch solvents. Try a pure odourless keresene (which I know is mineral spirits) but if you get that specific product its less likely to have other things in there.. I think the problem is with your solvent
