My daughter is a nun at an Abbey in Connecticut and is responsible for making all of the candles used by the religious community. A benefactor donated several hundred pounds of Carnauba wax (in powder form), thinking it could be used in the candle making process, but it can not be used for that purpose. I thought the wax could be processed into furniture polish but I do not know the best way to proceed. One suggestion I've received was to melt a mixture of bee's wax and carnauba in turpentine, another suggestion was to use mineral spiritis and naphtha as the solvents. What would you suggest?
