I found keeping waxoyl warm by putting the container in hot water was
tiresome and not very effective. I used an infrared type electric heater
(the type with a quartz tube element). I sat the can (with lid on loose)
in front of the heater. Between bouts of spraying, I put the spray tube
near the heater, and everything stayed nicely liquid.
At that, if you already have an air compressor, I strongly advocate
spending a bit for a semi-professional application outfit that uses
compressed air. With mine, I sprayed waxoyl in one end of the rocker,
and could see a mist of waxoyl emerge from the other end. That degree of
coverage would be impossible with the little plastic pump up system.
