Hello nusurf-ga,
Here is a recipe for surf wax, including warm surf wax:
"Surf Weather and More..." [scroll to bottom of page for "Surf Wax"]
Mike Neurauter's Home Page
http://www.geocities.com/mike_neurauter/surf-info.htm
While I cannot vouch for whether the recipe will work for you, the
idea that paraffin wax is the main component (with a higher
percentage in warm water wax), while microcrystalline wax can be a
secondary component, is corroborated elsewhere. (It seems that
beeswax is an alternative to microcrystalline wax.)
