Below I Have Written How To Make Perfect Grinding Wax It's Cheap And It Works.

You Will Need...

100 grams of candle wax
A very large heaped teaspoon of vaseline
4 tablespoons of sunflower oil

How to make it:
1. Chop up the wax into small chunks, preferably less than 2x2cm.
2. Put the vaseline in the bottom of the can.
3. Place them all into the can, making sure that it does not pile any higher than the top of the can.
4. Pour in the oil, drizzling it all over the wax.
5. Leave in the oven at gas mark 3-4 (170°-180°) for about 30 minutes, stirring every so often.
6. Leave to cool near a window, and when only slightly luke warm, place in freezer, and leave for at least 2 hours (anything up to 2 days).
7. Using cutters, carefully cut the can up, slowy easing the wax out, minding not to break it (unless like me, you like to have it in smaller pieces). Hehe, you might need an adult to do this!

Tips:
More sunflower oil makes the wax harder, and vice versa.
Do NOT use the microwave instead of the oven. Trust me, I tried, and well, lets just say that my kitchen was lovely and waxed.
Adding glow in the dark wax crayons makes the wax glow in the dark. Yeah!
Another way to make it really slippary is to add a couple of those small novelty soaps to the wax. Don't add any more than a couple, as the wax becomes very crumbly.
FAQ's - Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Can I use vegetable oil instead of sunflower oil?
A. Yes, it will probably work better!
Q. Could I grate the candle wax up - would that be better
A. Yes, that's fine - just don't cook the wax for as long
Of course if you do try this at home, I will not be held responsible for any damage that your kitchen suffers as a result of making my grinding wax.
