I'll be posting the recipe and my observations on making the cream in the next few days.
squeeze as much of the oil out as you can. This remaining amount can be run a second, or even a third time. I'll use it as a topical applicator until I can't get any more oil out of it and then I'll throw it into the next batch of brownies. 
The skin on my arms is beginning to look lustrous. Lol!
Is there any better way to cook?
==========================Hello Whitebeach. If you wanted to follow this rudimentary recipe I'd simply heat the 5 oz of carrier oil (I used grape seed oil, you could use coconut instead) and melt the CCO/RSO into it, making sure it's well blended. It wouldn't take much CCO, I recall Cajun telling me once that the pain cream he makes with CCO for chemotherapeutic burns is a 1/50 mix, one part CCO to 50 parts carrier oil. That's a good ratio to start with. That ratio heals serious chemical skin burns.
Melt the beeswax into this carrier oil mix and you're good to go. This stuff is solid enough when cool that I scrape it out with my thumbnail. If I took an immersion blender to it it could be fluffed up. For my own use that's not necessary. I'm just lazy by nature and it works like this, so I'm not concerned with improving.
Cannafan has a blog section on topicals you might want to look through. Topicals were her main area of interest at the beginning of this year, so she loaded her wellness sanctuary with recipes and notes on production including this recipe.

I hope this helps. If not, hit me with more questions.
We used Purple Kush which is said to be purely indica. I kind of want to see how it effects me before I come up with a schedule. I took 2 caps last night, 1 hour apart, and I had one heck of a time falling asleep. A little background, yesterday I was diagnosed with c diff in my stool. The limited research I did on it told me it is "One of the worst offenders is a bacterium called Clostridium difficile(C. difficile, or C. diff). As the bacteria overgrow they release toxins that attack the lining of the intestines, causing a condition called Clostridium difficilecolitis." I also found its highly contagious. I don't know why I had to research that, the dr didn't mention it. Fu@king Quacks! I had to ask him if my sickness was related to some antibiotics I had been on. That's when I saw the light go off in his head. He decided to test my stool, and whammo it's c diff. If I had not asked him that question, I would be here, still puking, not keeping food down, and having frequent trips to the toilet for evacuation, not to mention highly contagious while working in a school. Anyway, I didn't know if the antibiotics were keeping me uo, or if it was the capsules. Nis had one capsule and he said he may have been having a difficult time going to bed. He wasn't sure, cuz I was keeping him awake.Well done. What strain did you use? Balanced ratio or dominant one way or the other? Given any thought to a schedule and last, but not least, are you treating something specific, hoping to get blasted or just being proactive? Well, you're being proactive by consuming cannabinoids at all, so I'm guessing these are high THC, meant to keep you wonderfully buzzed through the celebration?
I ordered a jig for filling the capsules today. I highly recommend one if you don't have one already. Did you rub the drips into your skin?
What if the lid was there to keep in moisture? Do the benefits of the meds evaporate into the air? Just a Q I thought of after reading your post.1. Absolutely. I live in the center of the natural gas universe.
2. The lid helps to keep the temps up inside that jar, I'm sure, but I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't work with just stirring. If you have a pizza stone, let it heat up to temperature as the oven heats and set your jar on that. The pizza stone will regulate the heat better than the glass dish I used. I learned the pizza stone trick in my wanderings today.
3. Go ahead and turn it off overnight. Then kick it back on for the day. You only need a min. 24 hours total baking time. It doesn't have to be in a straight run. You're already sound asleep now, so this is more for reference than anything else.
Keep me posted. He may sleep at first.
