topofmurrayhill, im not looking for a shortcut i was only asking for advice not someones formula, just in help picking out a good wax. the only reason i used the word profit is i cant afford a loss.I know i will have trial and error but i was trying to make it a little less then it will be. i quit my job 3 weeks ago to be with my child who is very sick right now... leukaemia. thats why ive been on here hours tongiht after he went to bed to research it. Vicki, Thank you, your advice did help. im going to look into the soy/paraffin and see what i can find on it. Elly
