I was advised by an old gun builder and given a formula for a stock finish. I have lost the formula. My memory was one third bees wax, one third gum spirits turpentine, and one third murphy's oil soap. you melt this in a double boiler and mix together. The result is almost the constancy of a paste wax. He told me that this was how many old guns were finished. It has served me well for many years but I need to make a new batch. I need someone to confirm my formula or give me the correct ingredients and ratios. Thanks in advance
