My wax based lube recipe

Good time to wax on about wax. I have a slow-cooker full of a 4-1 Paraffin to Beeswax mix, and I was going to add some molybdenum powder in for extra whatever. (it was cheaper than tungsten powder) has anyone added Molybdenum or tungsten powder to their wax brew?
CBF reading 13 pages of wax thread. 🤪
I bought the wax pellets from 'badger wax' on ebay and it came with a sachet of teflon, which I double-bagged and binned, TBH, I just said that because I'm not going to give it to anyone. NFI how to dispose of it 'safely', because while teflon has some good lubing properties, it's also toxic as fuck, and should not be anywhere near humans, animals or the environment.

I tried teflon once, but found it just sat on the bottom of the pot. Unless you can grind it down impossibly fine and then keep the liquid mixed, there's no way it's finding its way in-between the parts.

Once upon a time I tried some of that stuff too. Should have used my brain before buying it, but it was a fun thing to try at least.
