Cosmolloid 80H

From: Robert Proctor <*wpfineart<-a*> Date: Monday, November 28, 2011 · wpfineart<-a

Does anyone know of a source for technical specs for different
waxes? I am specifically interested in the "needle point
penetration" value for Cosmolloid 80H. I believe this is the most
common measurement for the hardness of a wax. I would like to
compare the hardness and other characteristics of this wax with
other waxes. I feel like there is a misconception that there is a
direct correlation between the melting point and hardness. Comments
on this would also be appreciated.
