I've read using the same ratio as was used with sperm oil works the best, 2 parts oil, 1 part beeswax. The Jojoba oil has the same molecular structure as sperm oil has.

BTW, you can also find it at Fred Meyer, but it's $14.99/4 oz. Ouch!

I did pick up a 4 oz bottle from GNC for around $3/oz - ouch! I added that bottle to two ounces of beeswax in a double boiler and made up a flat 3/16" thick sheet. Next to assemble a few loads and get out to the range.
