Trying to crack the original formula- why was kerosene used?

[Ant Bee]

In my quest to figure out exactly what the original formula is, one thing I haven't figured out is why they used Kerosene in the mixture.  It seems like it was a very small part of the mixture, something like 7% by volume.

But what was the point?  Did it act as a preservative, or enhance the flow, or help to bind everything together?

Speculations?

It is a binding agent to keep various waxes as one

We actually did come up with a working formula and it's available here. https://www.ozonegifts.com/collections/replacement-wax-and-fluids/p...

Primarily to increase flow and help keep everything together.

Hello, after taking one apart the keroseen is what keeps the Goo from the liquid. If there was no keroseen the goo and the liquid would form together.

Actually, not, not sure what formula you're working with??, but we dropped kerosene from our recipe with the new formula and it doesn't combine with the distilled water.
