^^ exactly. In order to get molten ptfe to mix in a wax blend we would need to find a solvent that is stable at 360+ degC. Otherwise it will either be a solid lump at the bottom of your beaker or a mass of white powder at the bottom of your wax pot!

Why does the solvent need to be stable at 360 deg c? Surely the idea of the solvent is to dissolve the ptfe? The ptfe does not need to be molten to be dissolved does it? Sorry if I have got this all wrong

I would love to find a solvent that will dissolve ptfe powder. Is is stable in most solvents.

Thanks for clearing that up :thumb:

You can do it but it needs nasty and expensive solvents, high pressure and high temperature. None of this is going to be suitable for a car wax.
