Looks great though John. I wouldn't give up I think that if you get a good solid wack of beeswax in the mix it will really start to shed more water.
Any local honey places? They often have a good amount spare and if you can get friendly with them and maybe tell them what you doing and give them a plug on the forum they might have some dodgy left over bits of wax you can have?
