To mix it up just put the ingredients in jar for a few days in a warm place until parrafin dissolves.
May I ask what solvent you're using? And what's the consistency of the mix obtained? I tried using oz cycle's (from youtube) method consisting of 1/3 melted paraffin + 1/3 liquid paraffin + 1/3 xylene and it didn't work out for me. I guess what they call xylene down here isn't exactly the same formula that he's using.
