wogpotter, "Chemically, cosmoline is a
homogeneous mixture of oily and waxy long-chain, non-polar hydrocarbons. It is always brown in color, and can differ in viscosity and shear strength. Cosmoline melts at 130-150 °F (45–52 °C) and has a flashpoint of 365 °F (185 °C)". and if I wanted to burn cosmoline I would ignite it with a torch, it melts between 130-150 degree F. http://en....
