I picked up a pound of beeswax, a pound of parafin wax, Vaseline, and some crayns for color. I picked up a bottle of STP oil treatment but don't want add it in if I don't have to. I have a 4oz bottle of lee liquid alox I can add to the batch if needed. I have been reading about caronuba wax that is needed for higher speeds. ..do I need this? Any suggestions on what I need yet or the ratios?

you don't need the carnuba.
use the old nra formula of b-wax/paraffin and Vaseline it will work just fine.
throw the alox in since you got it.
your looking for a squishable viscosity.
Equal parts of each and 3 teaspoons of a alox im guessing?
about that.
I like to start out a touch hard and bump the Vaseline until it gets where I want it.
I like my lube to be about as hard as silly putty with a little sticky to it.
