No, you mix them together. Look up boat wax online. Lots of different recipes out there now that it has been “rediscovered”. I like adding in the pine tar. Pine tar is a good wood preservative. Vikings if I recall correctly used this mix on their boats. The amount you add of it depends on how much you want it to tint. I generally shoot for equal parts each and try to get the consistency of Johnson’s Minwax. I discovered Solvent Free Paints makes a really good version of it and tried it about three years ago. A little pricey, but a lot less hassle and you don’t have to deal with inconsistencies resulting from varying grades of the three components and that’s why I said I shoot for. Making your own is old school fun though.
