Another Culver's Paste question

[RogerFoxDog]

Okay, so I mixed up a batch of the Culver's paste using 1/3 of Beeswax, BLO and turpentine. My question is : What should the consistency be like when the batch is cool? My batch has the consistency of room temperature butter. Kind of like a cream. Is this right? Thanks for any info.

It better be, cause that's how mine turned out.

When it's brand new it will be soft and creamy as you describe.

As it gets older it will turn into a Kiwi shoe polish-like paste.

When it get older and starts turning to a thicker paste I use a 100 watt light over the paste to soften it up a little.

Thanks guys for all of the replies.

Suggestion: To really work it into a stock the first couple times, I put the stock out in the sun to warm it up (WARM it up, not HEAT it up). Helps the oil to get into the wood. After a few times, I just use the paste with the stock at room temperature.
