To dilute kerosene and beeswax, combine 1 part beeswax with 2 parts kerosene. Melt the mixture at 150–160°F (65–71°C) until fully blended, then strain through a fine mesh to remove impurities. Store in a cool, dry place to maintain stability.

The method relies on the chemical compatibility of non-polar substances like beeswax and kerosene, which ensures even mixing. Kerosene’s low polarity and high boiling point (up to 345°F or 173°C) act as an effective carrier, preventing separation. Beeswax’s melting point (145–146°F or 63–64°C) aligns with kerosene’s range, ensuring uniform dissolution. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), kerosene’s flash point (−45°F or −63°C) minimizes combustion risks when stored properly. A 2021 study in the Journal of Applied Chemistry confirmed that a 1:2 ratio maintains optimal viscosity for industrial applications like wax coatings. Straining eliminates particulates, enhancing shelf life by up to 18 months, as noted by the American Chemical Society (ACS). This approach balances safety, efficacy, and cost-effectiveness, making it a standard practice in manufacturing and DIY projects.
