Hi, thanks for looking, beeswax is listed as 2.7 to 3.0 and Kent wax is
listed as 6.5 to 7.5  and that is a large amount of difference for like
materials?  hydrogenated castor oil is 10.3, corn is 5.0 to 10, cellulose
3.2 to 7.5, glass 3.7 to 10.0 are the only real close values that would be
usefull. i am sure there are others but they dont fit this very well. still
puzzled. cul brian f.
