I am interested in synthesizing relatively pure, non-fluronated 
hydrocarbon waxes of varying hardness for use as solid lubrication on 
snow skis.  Is this a difficult process (I have experience in 
analytical chemistry and access to reagents, glassware, etc.....)  Any 
advice would be appreciated.
