RE: whale oil

Might be the difference between your whale oil, and the spermaceti that was commonly used back then. The spermaceti is a wax they rendered out of the head of a sperm whale.
Also the formula was 2 parts spermaceti 1 part beeswax.
Some folks do the same thing more or less nowdays with jojoba oil and beeswax.
