So I got my Alox, Paste Wax and mineral spirits, measured out the 30% Alox/35% wax/35% spirits, put it in a jam jar and started shaking. The Alox bottle split as it was being shipped and was a brown paste (like gravy left in the fridge overnight) and it seems to be resistant to dissolving. The mixture is also dark brown. I will keep shaking the jar, but is this typical?
