Good move. Gugolz #55 is the one I use at working temps around 10C, (I add a small amount of Stockholm tar to it, to modify it to about equivalent to #50 [or slightly lower] for the lower temps I work at). Gugolz is nice to work with. I used resin (rosin?) moderated with pure turps and beeswax way back in the 1960's (loved the smell), it worked ok if one got the balance right with the ingredients for working temperatures.
