But it's not. Do I use candle wax? No. I buy blocks of food grade paraffin wax and I add PTFE at a 10:1 ratio. Would I use candle wax if I couldn't afford to spend a few more bucks on paraffin wax? Yes. It would most likely do the same job. Chances are that big companies such as Silca and MSW are sourcing their paraffin from the same plants as the dollar store candle companies... Bottom line, wax is wax, right?

OZ Cycle did a series of testing with this wax / PTFE blend and compared it with others big brand companies wax, such as Silca and MSW. Guess what was the conclusion?

Skip to 14:15 for the results. Of course, this is not scientific / empirical data, but as I said a few posts ago, I trust the guy.
